The short version

  • Only Mixmax has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Mixmax free plan severely limits email tracking to 20 emails per month; Potion synthetic personalisation works partly because it surprises the recipient, and that surprise decays as the technique spreads, so response rate uplift should be measured monthly as a decaying asset rather than assumed from the first quarter.
  • They diverge on capability: Mixmax covers Email tracking, Potion covers Dynamic AI videos.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Potion

  • An outbound team of five or more where per seat video tools have become the largest line in the sales tooling budget and workspace pricing is cheapernot Mixmax
  • A representative running a high volume cold email sequence who wants a personalised video opening on every send without recording each onenot Mixmax

  • A sales team testing whether personalised video lifts reply rates before committing to a per seat video platformnot Mixmax

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Mixmax

  • Free plan severely limits email tracking to 20 emails per month
  • Download tracking in Outlook only works through web app, not desktop
  • Tracking indicators not supported for Outlook desktop users
  • Limited integration with email clients beyond Gmail

Potion

  • Synthetic personalisation works partly because it surprises the recipient, and that surprise decays as the technique spreads, so response rate uplift should be measured monthly as a decaying asset rather than assumed from the first quarter.
  • Starter caps dynamic videos at 750 a month and full AI templates at three a month, which a single active representative can exhaust, pushing small teams onto the 299 US dollar tier faster than the pricing table implies.
  • Cloned voice and lip synced video sit close to a line some prospects find deceptive, and a recipient who realises the video was generated rather than recorded may react worse than to plain text.
  • There is no free plan, only a seven day trial, which is a short window in which to prove response rate uplift on a cold outbound sequence where reply cycles alone can take longer than a week.
  • Workspace pricing is excellent for teams but poor for a single representative, who pays 99 US dollars a month for capacity sized for a team, so solo users are the worst fit for the model.
