The HubSpot Sales alternative that shows who really opened your email.
HubSpot Sales offers free email tracking, but it is the front door to HubSpot's CRM and sales platform. The tracking itself is basic open and click notifications with no IP, device, or location, and to get real value you are expected to adopt the whole HubSpot ecosystem. If you just want to know who actually opened your email, it is a lot of platform for one feature.

Which one is a better fit?
Choose HubSpot Sales when tracking should feed a CRM, pipeline, automation, and team reporting system. Choose Vero when you want open and link intelligence in Gmail without moving the rest of your sales workflow into a CRM platform.
