Boomerang for Gmail Chrome extension

Boomerang adds meeting scheduling, send-later, and follow-up tracking to Gmail so you can manage your inbox without leaving it. It's best for anyone who books meetings or sends time-sensitive emails often. The catch: the free plan limits how many scheduled sends and reminders you get per month, so heavy users will need a paid tier.

What Boomerang for Gmail does

Boomerang adds scheduling and email-management tools directly inside Gmail. You can send an email later, set a recurring send, track whether a message was opened, and get reminded if a recipient hasn't replied. Its calendar scheduling feature lets recipients pick a meeting time straight from the email invite, without a separate booking link.

Boomerang for Gmail free vs paid

The free plan gives you a limited number of scheduled sends, reminders, and tracked messages each month, along with basic inbox pause and snooze features. Paid plans raise or remove those limits and add extras like additional meeting scheduling functionality and AI-assisted email writing.

Is Boomerang for Gmail safe?

Boomerang needs access to read and send email on your behalf to schedule messages and track responses, which is inherent to how it works. Its listing states it has undergone a security audit and holds SOC 2 Type 2 certification, and it doesn't require anything beyond standard Gmail inbox permissions to function.
