Comparison
Mixmax is a capable sales-engagement platform — sequences, scheduling links, CRM sync — and it is priced like one. If all you actually need is to know when your email is read, that is a lot of software (and cost) for a single answer. Vidi does just that one thing, silently, for $1.99/month as a limited launch price.
Both tell you when an email is opened. The difference is how much else you are buying, what it costs, and whether your recipients can tell you are tracking.
| Feature | Vidi | Mixmax |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A focused read-receipt tracker | A full sales-engagement suite |
| Read receipts as clear ticks | Yes — grey sent, green opened | Open tracking inside a larger tool |
| Signature added to your emails | None, ever | Depends on plan |
| Honest handling of automated opens | Yes — machine opens labelled, not faked | Reports raw opens |
| Also works on Outlook.com & Yahoo Mail | Yes | Gmail-focused |
| Starting price | $1.99/month (limited launch price) | Sales-suite pricing per user |
Mixmax bundles sequences, templates, polls, scheduling and CRM integrations. That is genuinely useful for an outbound sales team — and wasted spend if you just want to know whether your proposal was opened. Vidi is $1.99/month launch pricing because it does one job.
Vidi adds nothing visible to your email — no banner, no signature, no prompt. Your message looks exactly as you wrote it while you still get the read receipt.
Vidi only turns the tick green on a genuine human open and labels machine pre-fetches (like Apple Mail Privacy Protection) honestly rather than counting them as reads. More in Apple Mail Privacy Protection and open tracking.
If you run structured outbound at volume and want sequences, scheduling and CRM sync in one place, Mixmax is a serious tool and worth its price. Vidi is the better pick when you send important client-facing emails — proposals, pitches, quotes — and simply want to know they were read. If that is you, try Vidi with a 30-day money-back guarantee, or compare the Mailtrack alternative and Yesware alternative.
Vidi turns every important email into a clear grey-tick / green-tick answer — across Gmail, Yahoo Mail and Outlook.
