MailCharts Alternative

MailCharts Went Enterprise-Only.
Your Competitor Tracking Doesn't Have To.

CompetitorInbox gives you the same competitor email intelligence MailCharts used to — subject lines, send cadence, creative tracking — plus DNS Auth Score and ESP detection MailCharts never offered. Self-serve. No sales call. Plans from $15/mo.

What actually happened

In November 2025, MailCharts — acquired by Litmus — discontinued its self-serve $99–299/mo plans and moved to enterprise-only sales. If you were on a self-serve MailCharts plan, you're either already locked out or facing a sales-led renewal at a much higher price. You're not the only one looking for what's next.

Honest comparison

We're specific about where we win and plain about where we don't. Panoramata covers ads and SMS and social too — we don't try to compete there. We focus on email, deeper.

Why switch, specifically

Self-serve, not sales-led
Sign up and see data today — no demo call, no enterprise contract minimum.
Infrastructure-level intelligence MailCharts never had
DNS Auth Score (SPF/DKIM/DMARC pass/fail per competitor) and ESP detection with change alerts — know when a competitor switches email platforms or lets their DMARC lapse.
Creative fingerprinting
Design hash, color palette, layout, GIF/video usage tracked per send — not just subject lines.
Real price floor
$15/mo for 1 competitor, scaling to $249/mo for 25 — compare against enterprise-only or $99/mo-floor alternatives.
