GetResponse

Category: Email/Newsletter

Unlimited sends, built-in webinars, and EU-owned.

GetResponse is an email and marketing automation platform with a wider remit than most. The plan ladder runs Starter, Marketer, Creator and Enterprise. Every tier, including the entry plan, includes unlimited monthly sends, which is unusual, since most rivals meter emails and charge you for mailing your own list. Starter covers landing pages, forms, popups and a welcome series with one automation workflow. Marketer opens up unlimited workflows, advanced segmentation, abandoned cart, sales funnels, contact tagging and scoring, A/B testing, revenue reporting and send-time optimisation. Creator adds the distinctive parts: browser-based webinars integrated with your contact list so registrants flow into automation, a website builder, a course creator for up to 500 students, and premium newsletter subscriptions with a paywall. Enterprise brings SMS, mobile push, transactional email, a dedicated IP with assisted warm-up and SSO. AI covers email and subject-line generation, a course creator and product recommendations. The company is Polish and EU-established.

Our verdict

Two things make this worth choosing over Mailchimp or Brevo. Unlimited sends on every plan is the first and it matters more than people expect, because metered sending is exactly what punishes you for emailing your list properly. The second is scope: built-in webinars, a course creator and a premium newsletter paywall put it against Kajabi and Substack as much as against email tools, and if you were going to buy those separately the maths changes sharply. Being Polish and EU-established is also a real advantage for UK and EU buyers doing a data-transfer review, versus the US-owned alternatives. Set expectations on three things. Headline prices are quoted at 1,000 contacts, so check the calculator for your actual list size before comparing anything. Starter is heavily stripped, with three AI uses, one workflow and no tagging, scoring or A/B testing. And the deliverability features that matter at volume, dedicated IP and assisted warm-up, are Enterprise only. There is no MCP server, which makes it the least agent-ready tool in this part of the directory.

Best for: Creators and small businesses who mail frequently, and anyone who wants webinars and courses in the same subscription as their email rather than paying for three tools.

  • Dedicated IP and assisted warm-up are Enterprise only
