The Mailtrack alternative that doesn't touch your inbox.
Most email trackers ask for broad inbox access or route your mail through their own servers. Maildriply requests only gmail.send and delivers through your own Gmail account — nothing in the middle.

Switching questions
Why switch from Mailtrack to Maildriply?
Mailtrack's free plan appends a 'Sent with Mailtrack' badge to every email, and the paid plan routes your messages through shared infrastructure. Maildriply sends directly through your Gmail API — no forced signature, no shared relay. Your sender reputation stays entirely yours.
Does Maildriply need access to my inbox like Streak does?
No. Streak requests gmail.readonly, which grants full inbox read access. Maildriply requests only gmail.send — the OAuth spec makes it technically impossible for us to read your messages with that scope.
How is Maildriply different from HubSpot Sales tracking?
HubSpot bundles email tracking inside a full CRM you must pay for. Maildriply is purpose-built for tracked sends — no CRM overhead, no forced From-address changes, and a pricing model that starts free.
Is the Maildriply free plan actually free with no catches?
Yes. 500 tracked sends per month, open and click tracking, templates, and AI drafts — no credit card, no expiry, no forced branding in your emails.
