EmailSavy vs Mailtrack:

Where EmailSavy is genuinely different
1. It keeps working when images are blocked
Most trackers rely on a single invisible image (pixel). The moment a recipient's client blocks images, the tracker goes dark. EmailSavy fires four independent signals — a pixel, a CSS background load, a stealth element, and a web-font request. If one is blocked, the others can still report a genuine open. Fewer blind spots, fewer "did they even see it?" guesses.
2. It tells you the truth about Apple Mail opens
Since Apple's Mail Privacy Protection, Apple pre-loads tracking pixels through its own servers. Many tools count that as a "human opened your email" — so your open rate looks great and means nothing. EmailSavy detects likely Apple proxy opens and de-weights them in its engagement score. You see real attention, not inflated vanity numbers.
3. It tracks the whole funnel, not just the open
Opens are the start. EmailSavy also tracks link clicks and replies, then combines all three into one engagement score so you know exactly who to follow up with and when — not just that a pixel fired.
4. It works even without the extension
EmailSavy has a paste-a-pixel manual mode: grab a tracking pixel from your dashboard and drop it into any email, from any client. Handy when you can't install an extension on a work machine.
To be fair to Mailtrack
Mailtrack is simple, reliable, and trusted by a large user base. If you only need a clean read receipt in Gmail and don't care about clicks, replies, or open-rate accuracy, it's a perfectly good choice and easier to grasp at a glance. We're not here to trash it — we built EmailSavy for the people who outgrew a plain read receipt and want honest, fuller data for less money.
Pricing, plainly
EmailSavy is free forever for 50 tracked emails a month (no card, no branding tax beyond a small footer). Pro is ₹99/month or ₹999/year for unlimited tracking, click tracking, daily digests, custom domain, and no branding. That's roughly US$1.20/month — typically well under Mailtrack's paid tiers, which generally sit in the US$5–10/month range. Always confirm current pricing on each vendor's own page.
