The crowded tracking space

Email tracking extensions have existed for over a decade. Most of them do the same thing: add a tracking pixel, show a checkmark, send a notification. The differences are in the details.

What MailSeen focuses on

We focus on three things: accuracy, speed of notification, and privacy. Our tracker is designed to minimise false positives from preview panes and image caching. Notifications fire within seconds of a genuine open.

We also offer the lowest Pro price in the market — $3/month or $15/year — because we believe tracking should be accessible to individual professionals, not just sales teams with tool budgets.

Where others might suit you better

If you need CRM integration, bulk campaign tracking, or team dashboards, a dedicated sales engagement platform will serve you better. MailSeen is built for individual Gmail users who want to know when their emails are read — nothing more, nothing less.
