Unlike Mailtrack, PPAD combines email tracking with persistent document protection in one platform. Know when your emails are opened, control who can access your files, and gain complete visibility into how your documents are viewed and used.
PPAD is built on Digify's ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified practices and is SOC 2 compliant. Files are encrypted with AES-256 through a patent-pending layered architecture, so protection holds after download rather than stopping in transit. Processing is GDPR aligned, with data residency, SSO and on-prem deployment on Enterprise plans. Mailtrack's security page names only CASA compliance.

PPAD is the strongest Mailtrack alternative for anyone whose attachments matter more than their open rates. Mailtrack reports that an email was opened and when. PPAD encrypts the document, reports which pages were read, blocks screenshots and copying, and lets you revoke access after download. There is a free Gmail plan to start on.
PPAD is better when the content you send is confidential. Mailtrack is better if all you want is a cheap read receipt, since it tracks unlimited emails free and costs $2.99 a month billed yearly for the invisible tracker. PPAD costs more because it is a protection product, encrypting the file and holding control after download.
Mailtrack's pricing page lists a Free forever plan, Premium at $2.99 a month billed yearly, and Lifetime at $99.99 as a one-time payment. Free covers unlimited tracked emails with a visible signature in the message. Premium removes that signature and adds full tracking history, daily email reports and priority support.
Yes. PPAD installs as a Gmail plugin, the same way Mailtrack does, so there is no data migration and no change to how you compose. Turn the PPAD toggle on when a message carries something confidential, and keep sending ordinary mail the way you always have. The free plan lets you test it before paying.
No. Mailtrack is an email tracking tool, and nothing on their site describes encryption of attachments, revocation, or expiry after delivery. Once a recipient saves your PDF, Mailtrack has no further say over it. PPAD keeps the file encrypted after download, so access can be revoked or expired at any point afterwards.
Yes. PPAD is built on Digify's ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified practices, is SOC 2 compliant, and encrypts files with AES-256 through a patent-pending layered architecture. Processing is GDPR aligned.
No. Mailtrack's site describes tracking at the email level: read receipts, open counts and timestamps, with notifications on desktop and mobile. It does not describe tracking activity inside an attachment. PPAD reports engagement per document, showing which pages a recipient opened and how long they spent on each one.
No desktop software is required. Recipients open protected files in a browser, or use the lightweight PPAD Viewer Chrome extension for .ppad files handled outside the browser flow. Identity is verified by one-time passcode, so there is no new account to create and no password to remember.
Install the Gmail plugin, encrypt your next attachment, and watch the recipient move through it page by page. The free plan costs nothing, and nobody on the receiving end installs desktop software.
