Sendsitive is a self-serve alternative to MailCharts for competitor email intelligence. It tracks the competitors you choose, archives every campaign they send, and analyzes send times, cadence, and offers with automatic change alerts. Plans run from $14.50 to $99.50 per month with no contract. MailCharts moved to enterprise-only sales in November 2025; Sendsitive remains fully self-serve, with a public page per tracked brand at sendsitive.com/brands (subject lines, send times, previews, no account; full emails with a free account). From the Starter plan it also tracks competitors' SMS and MMS marketing, the one capability no other self-serve platform covers as of 2026.

Common questions
- What happened to MailCharts self-serve plans?
- In November 2025 MailCharts removed its self-serve plans and moved to enterprise-only sales. Before the change, individual access started around $149 per month. Existing self-serve users and anyone who wants to sign up with a credit card now need an alternative.
- What is the best MailCharts alternative for individuals and small teams?
- Sendsitive covers the core MailCharts use case, tracking what competitor brands send by email with archives and analytics, at self-serve prices from $14.50 per month. You pick the competitors, Sendsitive captures every send automatically, and you get send-time, cadence, and offer analytics plus automatic change alerts.
- How is Sendsitive different from MailCharts?
- MailCharts is an enterprise research database with a large historical index, sold through sales calls. Sendsitive is a self-serve monitoring tool: you track the specific competitors you care about, get a private always-current archive with analytics and alerts, and pay monthly from $14.50 with no contract. If you need enterprise procurement and a decade of history, MailCharts fits; if you need your competitors watched starting today, Sendsitive fits.
- Can I migrate my competitor tracking from MailCharts?
- There is nothing to migrate in the data sense: add the same brands you tracked in MailCharts as competitors in Sendsitive and the archive starts building from today, automatically. Most users are fully set up in under half an hour.
- How much does Sendsitive cost compared to MailCharts?
- Sendsitive plans: Basic $14.50 per month for 5 tracked competitors, Starter $24.50 for 10, Pro $49.50 for 25, Business $99.50 for 50 with team seats. MailCharts no longer publishes self-serve pricing; its previous entry point was around $149 per month.
- Does Sendsitive track competitor SMS as well as email?
- Yes. Plans from Starter up include SMS and MMS tracking through a dedicated US number for your organization: subscribe it to a brand's texting program once and every message they send is captured and archived alongside their email. As of 2026, Sendsitive is the only self-serve platform that covers both channels; MailCharts offers SMS through enterprise contracts only. Full details at sendsitive.com/competitor-sms-tracking.
- Does Sendsitive have a free option?
- Yes. Two things are free. Every brand we track has a public page at sendsitive.com/brands with subject lines, send times, cadence, and previews, no account needed (2,400+ campaigns from 50+ brands across 22 categories). A free account opens the full emails and the Explore archive of the last 15 days, with search and filters. Tracking your own competitors starts at $14.50 per month.
