tip.email review
A one-time purchase for real-time email open tracking in a Chrome extension.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
tip.email is a Chrome extension for people who want to know whether sent emails have been opened, without a recurring subscription. It automatically inserts an invisible tracking pixel when sending and reports when a message is opened, how many times it is opened, and approximate device and location details. The product is centered on open tracking rather than broader sales engagement, so it fits individual senders who want visibility into email opens more than teams seeking a full outreach workflow.
The Lifetime access plan costs $89 one time and includes unlimited tracked emails, real-time open notifications, device and location tracking, search, filtering, exports, and future updates. No account is required. There is no free plan, so buyers should weigh the upfront cost against how often they need open tracking. The one-time model may suit someone who wants ongoing access without a subscription; it is less suitable for someone who wants to try a free tier before paying.
Its platform and feature scope are deliberately narrow: tip.email is a Chrome extension, and its tracking pixel is inserted when composing in Gmail. It identifies opens associated with Google, Yahoo, and Outlook image proxies, and includes a one-click tracking toggle plus CSV and JSON export. Search and filtering by recipient or subject help manage tracking records. The product does not cover link clicks or replies, and it does not list CRM integrations. Choose it for straightforward open signals across supported email services; choose another tool if click or reply tracking, CRM connections, or a non-Chrome workflow is essential.
