Email tracker without a signature
Track your email. Sign it yourself.
The short answer.
If you want open and click tracking in Gmail with nothing added to your emails, you need a tracker that does not fund its free plan with your signature. MailSenseAI is that tracker: install it, sign in with Google, and every email you send is tracked — opens, clicks, replies, in real time in your Gmail sidebar — with your signature left exactly as you wrote it.
No footer on free. No footer on Pro. It is not a limited-time promise — it is the reason the product exists, and we wrote it down on the no-footer pledge page.

Why the signature costs you.
It changes how the email reads
A proposal that ends with someone else’s promotional line is not the email you wrote. On a pitch, an application, or a client update, that line does real work against you.
It tells the recipient you are tracking — badly
If you want to disclose tracking, do it deliberately. MailSenseAI has an optional consent footer you control. A vendor advertising itself under your name is not disclosure.
It is the paywall
The signature is not a technical necessity. It is the thing the upgrade removes — you are paying a few dollars a month to stop a tool from marketing itself through your outbox.
You lose it the moment you stop paying
Downgrade and the branding comes back to every email. A tool that never adds one has nothing to hold over you.
What you get instead.
Every open, in real time
Not just the first one. Who opened, when, roughly where, and on what device — in the Gmail sidebar.
Click and reply tracking
Which link was clicked, and whether the thread was actually answered. Unlimited on the free plan.
An engagement signal
Opens, clicks, and replies weighed into one read of intent, so you chase the warm thread and not the loudest one.
AI follow-up drafts
When the signal says a thread is ready, the follow-up is already written. 3/month free, unlimited on Pro.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
- Is there an email tracker for Gmail that does not add a signature?
- Yes. MailSenseAI tracks opens, clicks, and replies in Gmail and adds nothing to your emails — no signature, no footer, no tagline — on the free plan or on Pro. Tracking is unlimited on the free plan.
- Why do free email trackers put a signature on your emails?
- Because it is their growth engine. Every email you send advertises the product to the recipient, and removing the signature is the thing the paid plan sells. Mailsuite, for example, lists “Promotional Signature Removal” as a paid feature. It works — it is also why your emails carry someone else’s branding.
- How do I remove the “Sent with Mailtrack” signature for free?
- You cannot remove it on Mailtrack’s own free plan; removal requires upgrading. The free route is to switch to a tracker that never adds one. MailSenseAI gives you the same opens, clicks, and reply tracking with nothing appended to your email.
- Does the signature actually matter?
- It does when the email is a proposal, a job application, a client update, or a pitch. A promotional line under your sign-off tells the recipient you are using a tracking tool, undercuts a professional email, and in some threads prompts an awkward question you did not want to have.
- Can the recipient tell I am tracking the email if there is no signature?
- There is no visible marker. Open tracking uses a 1×1 transparent pixel that is standard across the industry, and MailSenseAI also offers an optional consent footer if you would rather disclose it. That is a choice you make, not a badge the tool forces on you.
- Is MailSenseAI really free?
- Yes. Unlimited tracking — opens, clicks, and replies — plus 3 AI follow-up drafts a month, with no credit card. Pro is $5/month ($4/month billed annually) and adds unlimited AI drafts and deeper analytics. The free plan is free because we charge for AI, not because we brand your email.
Your email. Your signature.
Unlimited free tracking for Gmail, nothing appended to your emails, and an AI follow-up waiting when the signal turns warm.
