    Chose Mailtrack
    I prefer Mailtrack over Bananatag and others because the interface is cleaner and easier to understand.

    Bananatag is very well suited to creating messages that are going to be used on a regular basis but don't require much in the way of changing or amending. It is also a very handy platform to track sending emails and the watermarking technology is very handy. As far as range of designs compared to something like Mailchimp it doesn't compare well.

    It does its job but there are better looking and easier to use tools to do it.

    Mailtrack
    Mailtrack is great for tracking emails if you do not want to pay for larger more complicated tools that do the same thing. If you already love your system but just want to add some convenient read tracking, that's exactly what this is for. If you have a system that doesn't work well, I would take the time to evaluate alternatives that also include read tracking (Salesforce for example). This also applies if you're trying to use this for large outbound sales emails - there are a lot of applications that have email tracking built in (Outreach.io is a great example) so it may just be worth switching your whole system.

    Pros
    Staffbase GmbH
    • Easy to use and install, particularly with Gmail for business.
    • It has a simple feedback system, if a client reads an email, you get an emailed read receipt telling you the time of them doing so.
    • It runs in the background, is virtually undetectable and will not hinder any communication in the slightest.

    • Immediately you will be notified once any user accesses the email. There is no delay. We have crossed checked and it works awesome.
    • The Mailtrack extension is easy to use. Setting up an account and getting started is smooth and fast.
    • Free version includes unlimited email tracking, this is fab.

    • Some of the settings can be confusing at first.
    • Some alerts are on by default and can be annoying at times.
    • Good to know if the email was deleted.
    • It would be great to know how much time recipients spent on each email.

    I would rate Mailtrack's overall usability as a ten out of ten. The reasons for this are actually quite simple. For now, only I have been using Mailtrack. However, looking at the rather easy to use characteristics Mailtrack has to offer, I would not hesitate to recommend it to the rest of my colleagues.

    Staffbase GmbH
    Have not really had many opportunities to use the support function but my experience was limited and a little bit clunky. It was not particularly responsive or helpful in terms of trying to resolve the query I was working on. I think the problem was solved by another member of the team that worked on designing their own template.

    I didn't really need to use the customer support but the fact that they proactively make the installation process so easy by providing step by step instructions with videos and everything is kind of pro-active customer support that is needed. Good for them because at the end of the day, it's everyone's dream to use a product that they don't need support for.

    Bananatag is a free-standing application that plugs into your email service provider. As such, you do not need to be logged into another application to see the results or the real-time tracking of emails like you would with other email trackers. The free application is great if you just need to track a few outbound emails, but the paid plans offer a much more robust tracking service that would allow you to get any and all information you could desire from an email being tracked

    Outreach does a very good job and looks better, SalesLoft tracks more accurately and is easier to use.

    There's a free tier. Obviously, there are other things to love, like notifications about your email being read, the fact that if an email hasn't been responded to in some time it gets bumped up. The fact that if other people have Mailtrack you will actually get notified who read your email. But the fact that there is a free tier is HUGE.

    • It has not had any negative impact on the business or our operations.

    • Allowed me to know if emails were being received.
    • Allowed me to know if email addresses were valid.
    • Forced me to CC their program on every email I wanted tracked.
    • Prevented the receiver of the email from knowing the email was being tracked.

    • I'm currently using the free version so my investment was time spent downloading the browser extension. I would say it's worth the investment because I can make more value through each email by finding the right time to send replies or know when is the exact time I should follow up.
    • Knowing when an email is read multiple times helps me know the importance of the content in my email.
    • The paid version allows Mailtrack to tell you which recipient read the email if there was more than 1.
