Email Tracker
Track Gmail opens, link activity, and attachment engagement through a Chrome extension with free and paid plans.
About Email Tracker
Email Tracker is a Gmail-focused Chrome extension for monitoring when sent messages are opened and when recipients interact with links or attachments. It adds real-time Chrome notifications and email alerts, while detailed history shows when and how often a tracked message was accessed. Senders can choose visible or invisible tracking, which makes the tool adaptable to transparent outreach as well as discreet engagement monitoring. The free plan supports unlimited tracked emails, includes the Email Tracker signature, includes 20 invisible-tracking emails, and provides full tracking history plus email alerts. The Professional plan costs $3.99 per month and adds unlimited link tracking, signature removal, a visible/invisible tracking toggle, Chrome notifications, and team billing. It fits sales follow-up, client communication, and outreach analysis for people already working in Gmail. Adoption is narrow by design: setup depends on Gmail and a Chrome extension, recipient-side privacy expectations still matter, and features such as unlimited invisible tracking or signature removal require the paid plan. In practical terms, the main decision is whether its Gmail-native workflow and low monthly price outweigh the browser dependency and tracking limits on the free tier.
Best for
Best use cases
A prospect opens a proposal, and a Chrome notification helps the sender choose a timely moment to follow up.
A client receives an important update, and the sender checks tracking history to confirm when it was accessed.
Several outreach messages are sent, and access counts plus link activity help compare recipient engagement.
Compare before choosing
Compared with sending plain Gmail messages, Email Tracker adds open, view, link, and attachment activity signals.
The Free plan covers unlimited tracked emails but retains a signature and limits invisible tracking to 20 emails.
The Professional plan adds team billing and broader tracking controls, but the workflow remains tied to Gmail and Chrome.
