Mixmax vs. Right Inbox:  two ways to follow up from Gmail

Right Inbox is a low-cost set of Gmail tools: send later, reminders, recurring emails and follow-up sequences. Mixmax is a lightweight outreach tool inside Gmail: write your follow-ups once, and if they don't reply, Mixmax sends them and stops the moment they do.

Right Inbox
  • Automatic follow-ups (sequences) aren't on the free plan.
  • The free plan allows 5 tracked emails and 5 reminders a month.
  • CRM integration is on paid plans only.
  • Mail merge is on paid plans only.
Mixmax
  • Write your follow-ups once. If they don't reply, Mixmax sends them from your Gmail, in the same thread.
  • Follow-ups stop the moment they reply.
  • Add follow-ups to one email you're writing, or to a list from a CSV, Salesforce or HubSpot.
  • "Remind me if no reply" brings the email back to the top of your inbox when someone goes quiet.
  • Booking links so people can pick a time without the back-and-forth.
  • Free plan: 50 sequence recipients and 20 tracked emails a month.

What can you do with Mixmax vs. Right Inbox?

  • Does Right Inbox send follow-ups automatically?

    Yes, on its paid plans. Right Inbox's email sequences send a follow-up if the person doesn't reply, and cancel the scheduled follow-ups as soon as they do (Right Inbox's email sequences page).

    Mixmax does the same thing. Its free plan includes follow-ups for up to 50 sequence recipients a month.

  • What does Right Inbox do well?

    Right Inbox is simple and cheap. It adds send later, reminders, recurring emails, templates, private notes and email tracking to Gmail, and its paid plan starts at $7.95 per user a month billed yearly. It works in Chrome, Safari and Firefox, and its site says it has 12,000+ Chrome Web Store reviews.

    If you want a handful of Gmail productivity tools for one inbox at a low price, it's a good fit.

  • Is Mixmax more expensive than Right Inbox?

    Yes, on paid plans. Right Inbox Professional is $7.95 per user a month billed yearly ($9.95 monthly). Mixmax starts at $29 per user a month billed yearly ($34 monthly).

    Mixmax's free plan includes automatic follow-ups, which Right Inbox's free plan doesn't. Mixmax also adds booking links and Salesforce and HubSpot sync.

  • Can Mixmax remind me if someone doesn't reply?

    Yes. Set "Remind me if no reply" when you send, and the email comes back to the top of your inbox if they haven't answered by then. If you'd rather not write the follow-up by hand, add one that Mixmax sends for you.

  • Should I choose Right Inbox or Mixmax?

    Choose Right Inbox if you want low-cost Gmail tools for your own inbox, like send later, recurring emails and reminders, and you're happy to pay for sequences.

    Choose Mixmax if follow-ups are the job: you want them on the free plan, sent in the same thread, stopped when people reply, and synced to Salesforce or HubSpot when you need it. Our guides on how to follow up after no response and on automated email follow-up tools cover both approaches.
