## Good for

- Small businesses that want email, landing pages and automation in one plan
- Course creators and coaches who also run webinars
- Senders who mail a list often, since paid plans have no send cap

## Worth knowing

- After the first 14 days, the free account cannot schedule newsletters, send autoresponders or publish automation workflows.
- Starter allows only 1 custom automation workflow and 3 uses of the AI tools.
- SMS marketing, transactional email and a dedicated IP are only on the custom-priced Enterprise plan.
- Downgrading, or moving from annual to monthly billing, has to be requested from the support team.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Oct 17, 2026. GetResponse bundles email, automation, landing pages and popups, and its Creator plan adds webinars, courses and paid newsletters. Every paid plan has unlimited sends, from $19 a month for 1,000 contacts. Starter lets you build just one custom automation, though, so most people end up eyeing the $59 plan.

- **Value for money: 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: C.** A 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: B.** Email 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: C.** No 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: B.** Web plus iPhone and Android apps, with Shopify, WooCommerce, WordPress, Magento, Zapier, Stripe, PayPal and Salesforce, and an API. No desktop app, so B is the ceiling.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace GetResponse you would be making newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 10 of the 24 other email marketing and newsletter tools grade higher. It costs $228 a year.

- You could make: Forms and paid newsletters: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- You could not: Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- You could not: A chat box on your site that reaches you the moment a customer types.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Shopify, WooCommerce and WordPress among them, and has an API.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
