Considered Both Products
GetResponse
Chose GetResponse
We selected GetResponse basis a feature-to-feature comparison and also an overall recommendation from a leading digital marketer
Chose GetResponse
Our company stands out for having very initial contact with our customers, and this is thanks to the templates that GetResponse has.
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 …
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.
Chose GetResponse
ActiveCampaign seems to check more of the boxes for our marketing agency needs. The ease of on-boarding multiple clients is wonderful.
Chose GetResponse
Everything else at least sends the emails to my lists.
Chose GetResponse
Better pricing and similar high delivery rates. Much active support and great number of customization available.
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 …
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.
Chose GetResponse
  1. CRM functionality.
  2. Much cheaper
  3. Landing page is much better
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
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 …
Chose GetResponse
We are evaluating new vendors and leaning towards MailChimp.
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.
Chose GetResponse
Automational was discontinued. Customer service was much better with GetResponse than with Agile. Agile's customer service was very bad - made me feel inadequate, They treated me like a new customer even though I had been doing email marketing for over ten years. They severely …
Chose GetResponse
GetResponse shares a lot of the same capabilities as ActiveCampaign and Infusionsoft. It's much cheaper than Infusionsoft and has a much easier interface than ActiveCampaign. It also offers a significant upgrade in feature set to MailChimp and Constant Contact who really …
Chose GetResponse
GetResponse has a lot of the same functionality as InfusionSoft - but is more user-friendly and less expensive.
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.
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. SendInBlue for example is better suited for higher volume mailing but …
Chose GetResponse
Mail Chimp and Icontact. 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 …
Chose GetResponse
Prior to this we used iContact which was horrible and emails were not getting delivered and going into Spam. It was recommended by a co-worker who mentioned we used it before so we decided to adopt it again.
Sender
Chose Sender
I selected Sender for the ease of user, it's cold email friendliness and because you could start for free. Some of those other software like for example Drip have much nicer and easier UI/UX to nagivate through but I would say that Sender is better than it if you are looking to …
Chose Sender
Its deliverability makes it more effective than other email marketing tools. It gives more than satisfactory results. And that shows in my organization's sales revenue.

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

If you want your emails delivered to people's inboxes instead of spam, this ain't it. Not sure if it's their fault at all or if it's just that spammers are more likely to use lower-cost products and thus ruin it for others?

Pros
  • 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
Read full review
  • I am highly impressed with its Automation feature. It is very useful to get more responses out of my whole campaign.
  • Its data import feature to create subscriber lists is also very advanced. It removes duplicates in my data.
  • Email deliverability is very accurate.
Read full review
Cons
  • 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.
Read full review
  • Deliverability/open rates are extremely low compared to other providers. IE: I was getting 50-60% open rates with most providers and 6.5% with Sender.

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

Excellent general support. However, in case of an escalation, their turnaround time over email (follow through) can go higher

Alternatives Considered
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.

Return on Investment
  • 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.

  • Got us our first client
  • Helped us run campaigns for our clients
  • Can't think of anything negative really, it's all been good
