Comparison
Yesware is a full sales-engagement suite — sequences, templates, reporting — priced per seat for teams. If what you actually want is to know when your email is opened, Vidi does that one thing for $2.99/month launch pricing, with no sales stack to run.
Yesware and Vidi both tell you when an email is opened. The gap is everything else Yesware bundles in — and what that costs.
| Feature | Vidi | Yesware |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A read-receipt tool, one job | A full sales-engagement platform |
| Best for | Individuals sending important emails | Sales teams running outreach at scale |
| Read status at a glance | WhatsApp-style ticks in your inbox | Tracking inside the sales dashboard |
| Honest handling of automated opens | Yes — machine opens labelled, not faked | Reports raw opens |
| Works on Outlook.com & Yahoo Mail | Yes | Gmail / Outlook focused |
| Starting price | $2.99/month (limited launch price) | Per-seat plans, much higher |
Yesware is built and priced for sales teams. If you’re an individual — a freelancer, job seeker or small business owner — who just wants to know your email landed, most of what you pay for goes unused. Vidi charges $2.99/month as a limited launch price for the part you actually use.
No dashboard to open. Vidi shows a grey tick when your email sends and two green ticks the moment it’s read, right where you already are — and only turns green on a genuine human open. See Apple Mail Privacy Protection and open tracking for how it stays honest.
Vidi tracks reads across Gmail, Outlook.com and Yahoo Mail from one install.
The prices below are Yesware’s own, and they are worth seeing in full rather than summarised — the cheapest tier is rarely the one that does what you came for.
| Yesware plan | Price |
|---|---|
| Free Forever | $0/seat/month |
| Pro | $19/seat/month $15/seat/month billed annually |
| Premium | $45/seat/month $35/seat/month billed annually |
| Enterprise | $85/seat/month $65/seat/month billed annually |
