ProcureMind vs Mail2Follow
Both live inside Gmail. The difference is what they understand. Mail2Follow is a tiny, generic follow-up tracker for any email. ProcureMind is built specifically for quotes, and for the revenue sitting in the ones that went quiet.
The short version
If you want a lightweight reminder layer for any kind of email (at €6.99/month, on Chrome, Firefox or Edge), Mail2Follow is a neat little tool. If the emails you care about are quotes, and you want them detected automatically, followed up on a quote-specific cadence, and totalled in dollars, that's the job ProcureMind was built for.

What Mail2Follow does well
Mail2Follow describes itself as a "tiny CRM inside Gmail", and that's a fair summary. It's a browser extension (Chrome, Firefox, and Edge) that adds follow-up tracking to any email you choose: proposals, invoices, cold outreach, introductions. If it's in your inbox, you can put a reminder on it.
It includes AI-drafted follow-ups and open tracking, and the pricing is about as low as software gets: a free tier covering 15 tracked emails a month, and Pro at €6.99/month or €59/year.
For freelancers and consultants who send a mix of email types and just want a reliable nudge system, it's a sensible, low-cost pick.
Where ProcureMind is different
ProcureMind understands what a quote is. Instead of tracking emails you flag manually, it detects quotes in your Gmail automatically and puts every unanswered one into a single pipeline, with the dollar value of each, and the total riding on your open quotes at a glance.
The follow-up cadence is quote-specific: drafts prepared on day 2, 5 and 10, written for the quoting conversation, ready for you to review and send. When a reply comes in, intent classification tells you whether the customer is interested, asking a question, or gone cold, and the sequence stops.
It also closes the loop on the other side of your inbox: supplier quotes you receive are extracted into Google Sheets (23 fields per quote, with confidence scoring), and a recovered-revenue dashboard shows you exactly what the follow-ups brought back, dollar by dollar.
When Mail2Follow is the better choice
- You want generic follow-up tracking for any email type (not just quotes) with open tracking included.
- Price is the deciding factor: €6.99/month or €59/year is about as cheap as this category gets, and the free tier covers light use.
- You use Firefox or Edge. Mail2Follow supports all three major browsers.
When ProcureMind is the better choice
- The emails you lose money on are quotes. You want them detected automatically, not flagged by hand.
- You want a follow-up cadence designed for quoting (day 2/5/10), reply intent classification, and quote-value pipeline totals.
- You want to know what follow-up is worth: a recovered-revenue dashboard, not just open tracking.
- You also receive supplier quotes and want them extracted into Google Sheets instead of retyped.
Frequently asked questions
Is Mail2Follow cheaper than ProcureMind?
Mail2Follow Pro is €6.99/month or €59/year, one of the cheapest follow-up tools available, and its free tier covers 15 tracked emails a month. ProcureMind also has a free plan (25 extractions a month, no credit card). If all you need is generic follow-up reminders on a handful of emails, Mail2Follow is very hard to beat on price.
What does ProcureMind do that Mail2Follow doesn't?
Everything quote-specific. Mail2Follow tracks whichever emails you tell it to; ProcureMind detects quotes in your Gmail automatically, prepares day 2/5/10 follow-up drafts tuned for quoting, classifies replies by intent, totals your open pipeline by dollar value, tracks recovered revenue on a dashboard, and extracts supplier quotes into Google Sheets.
Does Mail2Follow work in Outlook?
No. Mail2Follow is a Gmail tool (via a Chrome, Firefox, or Edge extension). ProcureMind is a Chrome extension for Gmail as well.
Which is better if I follow up on things other than quotes?
Mail2Follow. It's deliberately generic: proposals, invoices, introductions, any email you want a nudge on. ProcureMind is intentionally narrow. It exists to recover revenue from unanswered quotes, and every feature points at that job.
Do either of them send emails automatically?
ProcureMind never sends anything itself. It prepares follow-up drafts on a day 2/5/10 schedule, and you review and send each one from your own mailbox. Mail2Follow offers AI-drafted follow-ups within its tracking workflow.
