Try Vocus.ioSome notable features
- Compatibility with other extensions: Mixmax conflicts with a very large list of Chrome extensions, including very popular plugins such as Grammarly. This is mainly because Mixmax uses their own Compose window instead of integrating with Gmail's own tool. As a result, it may end up messing your formatting in Gmail. Vocus.io also conflicts with few extensions but because it relies on native Gmail UI elements, the end result is usually more cohesive.
- Heavy & Slow: Mixmax injects its own Compose window into Gmail as an iframe (non-technical terms: imagine a Chrome tab inside a Chrome tab). This introduces significant memory and compute overhead, and is in fact one of the more common negative comments on Mixmax Chrome Store reviews (samples: 1, 2, 3).
- Branded URLs: Mixmax will wrap all your links with Mixmax-branded URLs. Showing your prospects that they are part of a large robot campaign is something that credible companies will want to avoid. Vocus.io supports custom domains, which increases your email deliverability score and adds that extra notch of credibility. Learn more.
Experience
Vocus.io takes a substantially different approach to user experience making it a great Mixmax alternative. Vocus.io installs a single button on top of your inbox that blends with the rest of Gmail's theme; we strongly believe in a minimalist user interface, one that will not slow your browser nor will hijack your Gmail experience.
The Mixmax Chrome extension, on the other hand, will replace your Gmail compose box with their own (in the form of an embedded iframe). A couple of Mixmax reviews mention that this brings several disadvantages, including overloading your browser (i.e. slowing things down) and not playing nice with other Gmail extensions. Mixmax will also rebrand (or re-color) some elements of Gmail with their own brand.
