What Is Mixmax?
A Gmail-first productivity tool — powerful for individual reps, limited for scale.
Mixmax built a strong following among sales reps for enhancing the Gmail experience — scheduling links (like Calendly but built-in), email tracking, polls in email, templates with shortcuts, and eventually sequences. For individual Gmail users who want their inbox to do more, Mixmax delivers.
The limitation becomes apparent when you want to scale outreach. Mixmax is architecturally tied to Gmail. Non-Google Workspace users can't use it. Sequences are gated behind SMB and above. There's no warmup, no inbox rotation, and no ability to plug in your own SMTP key — deliverability is dependent on Gmail's infrastructure, which is perfectly fine for individual outreach but constraining for campaigns.
What Is mailtani?
A one-time purchase email platform for founders, indie hackers, and small SaaS teams.
Pricing follows the per-seat model. At €49/month on SMB — the tier where sequences are unlocked — a three-person team pays €1,764/year. For tooling that is fundamentally a Gmail plugin, that's a significant recurring cost.
mailtani is the right move when you're ready to graduate from inbox-enhancement to a dedicated outreach platform. You gain warmup, inbox rotation, multi-provider SMTP support (SES, Resend, or any SMTP), and full analytics — and you lose the native Gmail sidebar. Whether that tradeoff makes sense depends on how central the Gmail experience is to your workflow.

What You Get With mailtani
The features founders and indie hackers actually use — on your own infrastructure, for a one-time payment.
Bring Your Own SMTP
Connect your own AWS SES, Resend, or Mailtrap account and send at infrastructure cost. Your sending reputation is entirely yours — not pooled with other users on shared IPs.
Email Warmup
Automatically ramps up your sending volume over 3–6 weeks, building genuine sender reputation with Gmail and Outlook. Set it once — mailtani handles the daily schedule without a separate tool.
Inbox Rotation
Distribute sends across multiple inboxes automatically to protect deliverability and scale volume without burning a single sending address. No manual scheduling required.
Sequences and Drip Campaigns
Build multi-step email sequences with conditions, delays, and branching logic. Welcome flows, onboarding drips, and re-engagement campaigns all run on the same builder.
One-Time Flat Pricing
Pay €89 once. No monthly fees, no per-contact tiers, no price increases as your list grows. Whether you have 500 or 500,000 subscribers, the cost is the same: done.
Full Deliverability Control
Sending reputation, IP addresses, authentication records, and SMTP credentials all belong to you. Diagnose and fix deliverability issues directly rather than waiting on platform support.
