GetResponse Alternatives

Brevo is the alternative that changes the pricing logic. Where GetResponse charges by list size, Brevo's paid plans are sold by monthly email volume: Starter is $9 a month and Standard $18 a month, both for 5,000 emails, or $97 and $194 a year with the 10% annual discount. Standard is the plan to compare with GetResponse Marketer: unlimited multi-step automation workflows, A/B testing, send time optimization, web and event tracking, one landing page and no Brevo logo. The free plan sends up to 300 emails a day once your account is approved.

Read the contact ceiling before you move. At the 5,000-email tier, Starter and Standard both cap you at 500 marketing contacts; 1,500 contacts need the 10,000-email tier and 2,500 contacts the 15,000-email tier, and from 20,000 emails the cap jumps to 500,000 contacts. So a large list you mail rarely costs little on Brevo; for a 1,000-contact list you mail twice a week, price the right tier first. Multi-user access is 1 seat on Starter; Standard includes 1 and sells up to 2 more at $12 a month each; 10 seats, WhatsApp, phone support and a deliverability specialist come with Professional at $499 a month. See our Brevo review and the Brevo pricing breakdown for every tier.

MailerLite is the switch most people make when GetResponse feels heavy. Comfort already gets the full toolset; Power mainly lifts the limits, and adds multiple automation triggers and 24/7 live chat. Comfort costs $12 a month on monthly billing, or $10.80 a month billed yearly ($129.60), for 500 subscribers and 5,000 monthly emails, with 50 active automations, 10 landing pages, 10 sites, 5 digital products and 3 user seats. Power, at $25 a month ($22.50 billed yearly, $270), lifts sending, automations, sites and seats to unlimited.

Against GetResponse, the comparison is lopsided on automation: Comfort runs 50 automations where GetResponse Starter runs one custom workflow, for less money at small list sizes. The trade-off is depth. Its ecommerce reporting is lighter than GetResponse Marketer, and webinars and sales funnels are not part of the package. The free plan is genuinely usable, with 250 subscribers, 2,500 emails a month, 3 automations and 1 website plus 1 landing page, but it is small: plan to pay as soon as your list passes 250.

ActiveCampaign is where GetResponse users go when automation is the job, not a feature. Billed yearly for 1,000 contacts, Starter costs $15 a month, Plus $49, Pro $79 and Enterprise $145. Even Starter includes multi-step marketing automation, 950+ automation recipes and 15 active business goals, with 1 user seat, 10,000 email sends a month and up to 5 lists. Plus adds landing pages, site messages, cross-channel marketing and 25 active goals; Pro adds conditional content and predictive sending.

Compared with GetResponse, the logic is reversed: ActiveCampaign is built around its automation engine rather than extras like webinars and courses, and goes deeper on the automation engine and the data behind it. Its weak point is cost at scale and complexity: the interface is dense, several key features sit on Pro, and the CRM pipelines are paid add-ons.

Kit, formerly ConvertKit, is built for people who sell what they know: a newsletter, a course, a paid community. Its free plan covers up to 10,000 subscribers for plain broadcasts, which is the most generous free tier on this page for a newsletter. Automated email sequences, visual automations, RSS campaigns, 100+ direct app integrations and the removal of Kit branding start on Creator, at $390 a year billed yearly for 1,000 subscribers.

This is the natural move for a GetResponse Creator user who mostly used paid newsletters and simple funnels. You give up GetResponse's webinars, landing pages and ecommerce depth; you gain a clean editor, simple visual automations, and a free plan you can stay on for a long time. Our Kit review covers the creator tools in detail, and Brevo vs Kit compares it with our top pick; for deeper automation, see ActiveCampaign vs Kit.

Omnisend is built for online stores. Its free plan sends 500 emails a month to up to 250 contacts. Standard costs $16 a month for 500 contacts and 6,000 emails a month; Pro costs $59 a month for 500 contacts with unlimited monthly emails and SMS at volume rates starting at $0.007 per message. Migration is free and takes up to 5 days, covering automations, forms, segments and templates, and stores spending $400 a month or more get a dedicated account expert.

Read the headline price carefully: Standard is displayed at $11.20 a month, which is the 30% discount for paying 3 months upfront ($33.60 instead of $48), after which you are billed monthly at the full rate. Against GetResponse Marketer, Omnisend wins on ecommerce automation and SMS, which GetResponse keeps for Enterprise. It is built for stores, so a webinar-led or B2B newsletter business will find it narrow.

Mailchimp is the familiar name in every list of GetResponse competitors. It is free under 250 contacts. Essentials starts at $13 a month and Standard at $20 a month at the smallest list size, and Premium starts at $350 a month; businesses with 10,000+ contacts can save 15% on their first 12 months of Standard. Overages apply if you exceed your contact or email send limit.

Against GetResponse, Mailchimp brings a huge integration catalog and a smooth editor, while GetResponse bundles more extras such as webinars and courses. Mailchimp's prices also climb with your contact count, so the switch rarely saves money at mid-size lists. It makes sense when an agency, a freelancer or a set of apps already speak Mailchimp. If you are weighing Mailchimp too, our guide to switching from Mailchimp covers the move.

AWeber is the veteran on this list and the one GetResponse is most often compared with head to head. For 0 to 500 subscribers, Lite costs $12.50 a month and Plus $20 a month, both billed annually. Lite is tightly capped: 1 email list, 3 landing pages, 3 email automations, 3 users and 1 custom segment, with a 1.0% fee on sales. Plus unlocks unlimited lists, landing pages, automations, segments and users, priority 24/7 support and a lower 0.6% sales fee.

Moving from GetResponse, you gain a well-rated support team and a simpler interface; you give up GetResponse's webinars and much of GetResponse's ecommerce toolbox. A Done For You service sets up your emails, landing pages and workflows in 7 days for a one-time setup fee on top of the plan. Our AWeber review lists every limit, AWeber pricing shows each list-size tier, and Brevo vs AWeber puts it next to Brevo.
