Considered Both Products	Email on Acid Verified User Anonymous Chose Email on Acid Email on Acid has more features than Litmus. They offer more email clients to test on and during my time using both tools, had fewer clients that displayed as being down. This was a major time suck especially when testing for specific clients such as Microsoft Outlook. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Email on Acid Litmus and Everest (Return Path + 250ok) Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Email on Acid Ultimately, we chose Email on Acid because it provided exactly what we needed at a great price point. Litmus was another great option, but a bit more robust and expensive than what we were currently looking for. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Email on Acid Email On Acid is very similar to Litmus, but perhaps slightly more reliable. I have used both extensively, and prefer Email On Acid. Incentivized Helpful?	GetResponse Verified User Anonymous Chose GetResponse We selected GetResponse basis a feature-to-feature comparison and also an overall recommendation from a leading digital marketer Incentivized Helpful? BH Bryana Hammes Senior Associate Chose GetResponse Our company stands out for having very initial contact with our customers, and this is thanks to the templates that GetResponse has. Incentivized Helpful? Jeff Smith Owner Principal Chose GetResponse Over the years we have worked with quite a few email platforms. We feel that GetResponse is a solid competitor. The CRM side is not as strong as a product like Keep but we don't expect it to be. If we are really being fair and comparing apples to apples, then GetResponse is as … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose GetResponse GetResponse was the perfect tool for the size of our company. We checked out other tools and GetResponse had the best integration and capabilities in comparison to other competitors. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose GetResponse ActiveCampaign seems to check more of the boxes for our marketing agency needs. The ease of on-boarding multiple clients is wonderful. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose GetResponse Everything else at least sends the emails to my lists. Incentivized Helpful? Nikunj Gupta Founder Chose GetResponse Better pricing and similar high delivery rates. Much active support and great number of customization available. Incentivized Helpful? Robert Foreman Designated Broker Chose GetResponse MailChimp and Constant Contact Incentivized Helpful? Mohammed Anzil Founder and Chief Editor Chose GetResponse Mailchimp is the best alternative to GetResponse but GetResponse's innovative design makes them better compared to. What I like more on GetResponse is it helps us to work from any device from anywhere and carry out a campaign from one device to another device. Mailchimp offers … Incentivized Helpful? Adam Blinzler Marketing Automation Manager Chose GetResponse GetResponse is much stronger in lead management and versatility than an ESP like MailChimp or SFMC. It isn't as versatile as HubSpot or Marketo and leaves a lot lacking in landing pages and scalability. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose GetResponse CRM functionality. Much cheaper Landing page is much better Incentivized Helpful? Rares Man Head Of Marketing Chose GetResponse My team has switched to GetResponse from MailChimp as it: - has more features that can be used - the ability to create flows and automations is a valuable feature Incentivized Helpful? Andrew Walker Physical Therapist, President Chose GetResponse Mailchimp is more basic but is free. Infusionsoft is more expensive but more complex - I have seen it dubbed "confusionsoft", but I have not tried it to confirm as it is out of our price range. GetResponse seems to have been a happy medium for us as it provides the services we … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose GetResponse We are evaluating new vendors and leaning towards MailChimp. Incentivized Helpful? David Faustina Managing Partner Chose GetResponse Not the top of the heap and certainly far from the bottom. GR is arguably one of the best solutions for Home based or small shops. It is out of the box whereas some of the others are not as complete or more difficult to unpack. It lacks some features but over-delivers on others. Incentivized Helpful? Ron Edmonds Principal Chose GetResponse Automational was discontinued. Customer service was much better with GetResponse than with Agile.

Verified User Anonymous Chose GetResponse GetResponse worked great for the company's direct email needs with list segmenting, A/B testing, and reporting. I personally did not get to select the email tools used for the company, but it was effective and educational to newcomers with the tool. Incentivized Helpful? Vitaliy Vinogradov Co Owner Chose GetResponse I would say GetResponse is the perfect product for somebody who is new and looking for quality. Most alternatives are specialized for different types of mailing. So if one ESP doesn't work, another one will.

GetResponse is easy to use and less complicated than the other platforms. I prefer Get Response to any other platform I have used because it gives me all the tools to get my clients and customers to pay attention. Other Platforms don't compare to … Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Email on Acid	GetResponse
Likelihood to Recommend	Email On Acid is great for someone who needs a simple, intuitive platform to create custom HTML emails. Probably not suited for someone new to HTML and CSS. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	GetResponse is good for marketing automation newbies that want a powerful platform without a steep learning curve. It appears to have a strong set of tools for creating automated sequences, but it's not your solution for large enterprise usage. Also, seeing as how competitive the market's become, while it's not expensive per se, it is a bit on the pricey side relative to some. Incentivized Barry Feldman Owner Read full review
Pros	Display testing Link validation Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	If you understand coding the ability to use dynamic content based on smart searches was very useful. The drop and drag workflows were very easy to create and use Allowed for simple automation and nurture campaigns to occur off of events Incentivized Adam Blinzler Marketing Automation Manager Read full review
Cons	Renderings can be slightly off Incentivized Josh Rizzo Marketing Automation Read full review	Lists are rejected on baseless grounds. They recommend a service to clean lists and even after being cleaned, emails and lists are rejected. They purged 80% of our email list because they were not interacting regularly enough with our emails. Their drag and drop editor is set up poorly, if you have similar look and feel emails there is no way to know which you are in. Often email templates do not save and you have to start over. Sometimes scheduled emails don't even send. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	As I mentioned before. I believe that the platform is easy to use. Simple and easy process from start to finish. Email efficient and get to the client quickly. Catch errors that would prevent getting to where i need it to go. Overall great experience and would renew without question Elizabeth Fishman Project Manager Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	Excellent general support. However, in case of an escalation, their turnaround time over email (follow through) can go higher Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Ultimately, we chose Email on Acid because it provided exactly what we needed at a great price point. Litmus was another great option, but a bit more robust and expensive than what we were currently looking for Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Over the years we have worked with quite a few email platforms. We feel that GetResponse is a solid competitor. The CRM side is not as strong as a product like Keep but we don't expect it to be. If we are really being fair and comparing apples to apples, then GetResponse is as good as any of these other products. Especially in the area of the visual builder, I honestly think it is just about as good as Keep. And it is better than some of these other products. Again, keeping in mind the cost and the niche GetResponse fills, it stacks up very well against the other products we have used. Incentivized Jeff Smith Owner Principal Read full review
Return on Investment	Ability to send over 1000 previews spanning across 90 email clients. Saves a lot of time getting emails out the door. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Our marketing emails have been much more professional, scheduled, beautiful, and manageable since switching AWAY from GetResponse, so in that sense the platform did not provide the kind of ROI we'd prefer. For delivering our regular daily newsletter, GetResponse has served us well and has delivered at an above-average rate to our mailing list.
