I am pretty happy to use Yesware Email Tracking service and never face any single problem from their side, but now it is too tough for me to find the alternative of Yesware because they stop to provide their free email tracking services. I had tried Bananatag but not satisfied with it. Do you guys have a better option for the Yesware alternative? If yes then please share here?
