Which one is for you
Pick Mailmeteor if
- Fits if you send mail merges from Gmail to a few hundred people
- Works for people who keep their contacts in Google Sheets
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: 50 emails a day and 3 campaigns
- Pricey if you want follow-ups or warmup, which need Premium at $17.99 a user
- Skip it if you want the assistant in Outlook, as it works only in Gmail
- Watch out: Pipelines is early access and team analytics is marked coming soon
Pick Mixmax if
- Fits if you work in Gmail and want follow-ups that stop on a reply or a booking
- Works for teams where each rep sends at a different volume, from $29 a user for 100 recipients
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you use Outlook, as Mixmax needs Gmail and Chrome
- Tight if you share volume across a team, since recipients can't be pooled and a contact in two sequences counts twice
- Pricey if you add the extras, at $9 a member each for branding, rules or the Dialer, plus calling minutes
- Tight if you stay free, at 50 recipients and 20 tracked emails a month, a Mixmax signature and no CRM sync
- Skip it if you send cold email at volume from a pool of inboxes, as it sends from your one Gmail account
How we grade them
| 2.2GPAMailmeteorFair | 2.2GPAMixmaxFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CStarter is $5.99 a user a month billed monthly ($53.99 a year), in the middle of the category. The follow-ups and warmup that people buy it for are on Premium at $17.99. | CFive reps each adding about 500 people a month pay $49 a user billed yearly, $49 a head. That's above the category's $40 middle and below the dearer quarter, and recipients can't be pooled across the team. Lighter users can sit at $29 for 100. |
| Free plan and trial | CA free Hobby plan with 500 emails a month, 50 a day, 3 campaigns and 1 sender. You'll hit the daily cap on any real mailing. | CThere's a free plan, but 50 sequence recipients and 20 tracked emails a month, with a Mixmax signature, is a taste. The 14-day trial at 1,500 recipients needs no card. |
| Features | CMail merge, tracking and follow-ups, email verification and warmup, an email assistant and lead tools. Gaps: follow-ups, warmup and the full assistant are Premium, and the assistant works only in Gmail. | CSequences of emails, calls, tasks and LinkedIn steps that stop on a reply or a booking, plus tracking, booking pages and CRM logging. A smaller job than cold outreach at volume, though: it sends from your one Gmail account, with recipients capped per member. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. A browser extension and web app where you connect an inbox and a spreadsheet. | BNo App Store rating on record, but it sits inside the Gmail you already use, signs in with Google and adds its buttons to the compose window. Little to set up before the first sequence. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb and a browser extension, with Gmail, Outlook, Google Sheets, Docs, Excel and Zapier. No phone or desktop app. | CIt runs inside Gmail through a Chrome extension, so it's computers only, with a web dashboard for reports. Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Zapier, Sales Navigator, Dialpad and Gong connect, and there's an API. |
| Best for | mail merge for Gmail and Outlook | follow-up sequences and booking inside 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.
