How we grade them
| 2.4GPACampaignerFair | 2.4GPAGetResponseFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CEssentials is $14 a month for up to 1,000 contacts, right at the middle of what email tools charge, and $72 at 10,000. But it has no automation workflows and keeps Campaigner branding; both need Advanced at $35. Campaigner doesn't say whether prices are billed monthly or yearly. | C$19 a month for 1,000 contacts billed monthly, or $15.58 on a yearly plan, toward the dearer end of the pack. It's cheaper than most once your list grows, at $79 for 10,000, but Starter allows 1 custom automation and unlimited ones start at $59. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan, but a 30-day free trial with full access to every feature, and no card is mentioned. A month is long enough to run a real campaign or two. | CA free account for up to 500 contacts and 2,500 emails a month, with a GetResponse badge on your emails. After the first 14 days you can't schedule newsletters, send autoresponders or publish automations, so it's a test drive more than a home. |
| Features | BThe whole job: drag-and-drop and HTML editors, A/B and multivariate tests, multi-path workflows with rule triggers, dynamic content, segments, landing pages and store-driven cart emails. Workflows need Advanced, and SMS is a separate product. | BEmail with AI writing, automation, unlimited landing pages, forms and popups, and webinars, courses and paid newsletters on Creator. It covers the whole job. SMS and transactional email only come with the custom-priced Enterprise plan. |
| Ease of use | CNo App Store rating on record, and it's a web app where the work is building templates, segments and branching workflows. The builder checks for errors before launch, which helps, but expect some learning. | CNo App Store rating on record, and the work here is building emails, pages and workflows in a web app. There's a lot of it, so give yourself time to find your way around. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, with WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Shopify, Zapier, HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Analytics and Adobe Analytics, plus a REST API, webhooks and SFTP imports. No desktop or phone app, so B is the ceiling. | BWeb plus iPhone and Android apps, with Shopify, WooCommerce, WordPress, Magento, Zapier, Stripe, PayPal and Salesforce, and an API.
