Email Tracking - simplest solution?

cem

I am currently using the free option from: https://bananatag.com/pricing

I keep finding that I am running out of the daily 5 email limit but do not need the 100 email limit which is the next option up at $10/month.

My budget is up to $5 a month - I would be grateful if someone can point out some solid recommendations please. I have googled off course but it is a jungle out there!!

Thank you in advance

Save the money as none of these services are 100% reliable. They rely on people loading external content in their email client.

I can promise you, if you would send me such an email you would never know whether I read it or not. I don't like people snooping on me. It's none of their business when or if I read their emails.

Thanks but having tried the software before. there are ALOT of people who do not disable the tracking and as such the functionality does work

I am one of the two on this thread so far 100% , I don't reply to read requests either, and I don't use webmail

Another one here
All read receipts requests are blocked and I use an email client not webmail.

Yes I get that you guys block it HOWEVER probably 99% of the people I email do not block the read receipts. In my occupation I have a need to check status

I block them too.
If you don't get a response are you assuming it's unread or blocked?
What email client do you use? Some have their own tracking that you can add on.

With all due respect, read receipts don't prove diddly-squat even when you do get them. All they prove is that the mail was opened but you cannot in any way shape or form prove that it was read unless you stand behind the recipient and have them read the email back to you verbally.

If you want to be sure people are reading your emails, send them emails that are worth reading.

People saying they block external content doesn't help the OP with their question though. They've asked a specific question, they know the limitations of email tracking, telling them "it wouldn't work on me!" doesn't help at all. Asking what assumptions they make about mail that appears unread doesn't help either - that's not what they want help with.

I don't know the answer, it's not something I've ever needed to do and indeed would not do.
