# Is Mixmax worth it for founders and small sales teams tracking emails in Gmail?

&lt;p&gt;For a two person team I&#39;d actually lean toward Saleshandy first just to validate whether you even need the workflow stuff Mixmax offers. Mixmax earns its price once you&#39;re actually running sequences and scheduling regularly, but if you&#39;re just tracking opens casually it might be more product than you need yet. Yesware&#39;s a decent middle ground if tracking really is the whole ask.&lt;/p&gt;
