Mailtrack costs $4.99 to $9.99 a month and tracks whether your emails got opened. Mixmax costs $29 to $89 a month per user and runs full outbound sequences with AI drafting and Salesforce sync. If your team needs more than a read receipt, that gap matters more than the price gap. Here's how the two stack up for cold outreach in 2026.

Best for pure open tracking: Mailtrack Free (unlimited tracked emails, first-open history)

Best budget paid tier: Mailtrack's $4.99/user/mo plan (7-day tracking history, mass send)

Best for outbound sequences: Mixmax Engagement Copilot ($49/user/mo annual)

Best combined tool: Mixmax Suite ($89/user/mo annual, all three copilots)

Mailtrack vs Mixmax: Pricing and Features at a Glance

Mailtrack was folded into a parent product called Mailsuite in 2026, and mailtrack.io now redirects to mailsuite.com, but "Mailtrack" survives as one of its paid tiers, per Mailsuite's pricing page. Mixmax expanded into a "copilot" bundle structure, per Mixmax's pricing page. Here's both as they're sold today.

Mailtrack's $9.99 ceiling buys mass sending and open tracking. Mixmax's $49 floor buys actual multi-touch sequences that pause when someone replies. They're not competing for the same budget line.

How does Mailtrack's tracking compare to Mixmax's sequences?

Mailtrack tells you an email was opened. Mixmax tells you it was opened, then automatically sends the next touch, logs the reply, and syncs the outcome to your CRM. Per Mailsuite's own site, the product offers no true automated follow-up sequences, only "follow-up reminders" based on tracking pings. That's a notification, not automation.

For a rep sending 500+ prospecting emails a month, Mailtrack means manually re-sending every follow-up by hand. Mixmax handles that natively. Mailtrack is a tracking pixel with mail merge bolted on. Mixmax is a sequencing engine with tracking bolted on.

What do Mailtrack and Mixmax cost per year in 2026?

Run the math past a few seats and the gap widens fast. Annual spread for a 5-person team:

  • 5 seats on Mailtrack's $4.99 tier: roughly $300/year
  • 5 seats on Mailsuite's $9.99 tier: roughly $600/year
  • 5 seats on Mixmax Engagement Copilot at $49/user (annual): roughly $2,940/year
  • 5 seats on Mixmax Suite at $89/user (annual): roughly $5,340/year

Mixmax's monthly rates run higher than annual, $65/user for Engagement Copilot and $105 for the full Suite, so annual commitment is the only way to hit its advertised "$29/$49/$89" tiers.

Which one should you actually use?

If you're a founder or solo rep who just wants to know when a prospect opened your email, Mailtrack's free plan does that job. Most people buying Mixmax for that use case are overpaying.

But if you're running real cold outreach, meaning sequences, reply detection, and CRM updates without manual entry, Mailtrack can't do that at any price tier. Mixmax can, and for agencies or sales teams under 20 people living in Gmail, it's a solid alternative to Outreach or Salesloft. It still won't replace a dedicated sending stack built for deliverability at volume, tools like Instantly or Smartlead exist for that, but for inbox-native sequencing it does the job without a six-week rollout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Mailtrack and Mixmax?

Mailtrack is an email open-tracking tool with mail merge and mass send bolted on, starting free and topping out at $9.99/user/mo. Mixmax is a full sales engagement platform with automated multi-step sequences, AI drafting, and CRM sync, starting at $29/user/mo and running up to $89/user/mo for the full bundle.

How much does Mailtrack cost in 2026?

Mailtrack has a free tier with unlimited tracked emails but only first-open history. The paid "Mailtrack" tier is $4.99/user/mo with 7-day tracking history, and the top "Mailsuite" tier is $9.99/user/mo with full history and 60,000 mass emails a month, per Mailsuite's pricing page.

Is Mailtrack the same product as Mailsuite?

Yes. Mailtrack was absorbed into a parent product called Mailsuite in 2026. The mailtrack.io domain now redirects to mailsuite.com, and "Mailtrack" survives as the name of Mailsuite's mid-tier plan rather than a standalone product.

Can Mixmax replace a dedicated cold email sending platform?

Partially. Mixmax handles sequencing, tracking, and CRM sync well for teams under roughly 20 people working inside Gmail. It doesn't replace infrastructure built specifically for sending volume and deliverability at scale, which is what dedicated cold email platforms are built to do.

Neither tool solves sourcing or deliverability, they're built for tracking and sequencing once you already have a list and warmed inboxes. We've booked 3,000+ qualified B2B meetings running that end of outbound for clients, and if you'd rather not stitch the infrastructure together yourself, that's what our setup service handles.
