TraceMail

TraceMail is a web-based email tracking tool built around Gmail. Through a Chrome extension, it integrates with the Gmail interface and tells you when the emails you send get opened, when recipients click the links inside them, and when they view attached documents. Reports break down engagement per message, and the Premium plan adds detail like how long recipients spend on each page view and what browser or device they used.

Tracking goes both ways. A feature called TraceScan scans incoming mail for tracking pixels, so you can see when other senders are monitoring your own opens. The Premium plan also includes an AI assistant for drafting emails. The product runs in the browser — the site shows a web app and a Chrome extension, with no sign of iOS, Android, or desktop apps.

Pricing has three tiers. The free plan covers unlimited trackings and unlimited recipients, with limited real-time notifications and TraceMail branding on tracked messages. Basic, at $2.92/month, adds manual tracking, unlimited real-time notifications, removes the branding, and includes email support. Premium, at $8.33/month, adds link tracking, document tracking, page-view time analytics, recipient user-agent details, advanced reports, advanced pixel settings, TraceScan, the AI assistant, and priority email support.

Best for

• Salespeople and freelancers who want to know when prospects open proposals or click through to a pricing page
• Outreach teams timing follow-ups based on opens, clicks, and document views
• Anyone sending attachments who wants confirmation that documents were opened, and for how long
• Gmail users who want to spot tracking pixels in the mail they receive
• People who need basic open tracking on a budget — the free tier has no tracking limit
