How we grade them
| 2.4GPABoomerangFair | 2.0GPARight InboxFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPersonal is $4.98 a month billed annually, a touch above this category's lowest-priced quarter, and it only covers @gmail.com addresses. A Google Workspace account needs Pro at $14.98, or $19.98 monthly, near the dear end for email tools. | CProfessional is $7.95 a month billed yearly, which is the middle of what email tools charge. |
| Free plan and trial | CBasic runs for good with Send Later, reminders, response tracking, read receipts and Inbox Pause, but 10 message credits a month is a cap you'll hit in a week, and the phone apps aren't in it. New accounts get 30 days of Professional with no card. | CFree is solo use, with send later, reminders, tracking and templates capped at 5 emails a month. You will hit that in a week. |
| Features | CSend Later, messages that come back when you choose, follow-up nudges, read receipts and click tracking, Inbox Pause and booking a meeting from inside an email. It does that job fully and it's a small one: timing and chasing added to Gmail, not a mail app. | CSend later, reminders, tracking, sequences, mail merge and CRM sync. Gmail only, so it's a Gmail add-on rather than a mail app. |
| Ease of use | BNo app rating on record, and nothing to set up: it's a browser extension that lives inside Gmail, and you can type a time like "next Monday" instead of using a date picker. | CNo store rating on record, though the page cites 12,000+ Chrome store reviews. You install an extension and learn its tools. |
| Platforms and integrations | BA browser extension plus iPhone and Android apps on paid plans, with Zoom, Google Meet, Salesforce and GQueues connected. It's Gmail and Google Workspace only, though, and Boomerang for Outlook is a separate product with its own subscription. | CA Chrome, Safari or Firefox extension for Gmail, with CRM integrations. No phone app, and nothing outside Gmail. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
