I enjoy using Getresponse as my choice of Autoresponder, yes there are many services like it and it's often difficult to tell them apart because every AR service does the same essential job which is of course to automatically send out our email sequences on our behalf. So, I'm going to explain as best I can what I like about GR in particular and also that which gets my back up about the service - here goes.

What I Like

One of the main things I like about GR response is that it's very user friendly, what I mean by this is that you don't have to jump through hoops to learn about it's features and how to use them, as soon as you login to your dashboard everything that you need is in front of you instantly. For instance, quick action links like:

  • Create form
  • Create newletter
  • Create landing page
  • Add contacts
  • Create autoresponder

These quick actions links are great in opinion because you've got your most used and important tools at hand straight away.
The landing page templates are pretty sweet as well as they are all professionally designed and ready to edit to your hearts desire but I found that I didn't need to mess around with the templates all that much as they cater to most niches but if they don't then you can alway build your landing page from scratch using drag and drop.

The pricing is transparent as when you look at the pricing page there's four pricing structures:

  • Basic
  • Plus
  • Professional
  • Enterprise

On each of the plans apart from the Entreprise package which is for bigger businesses and is custom priced, you can use the drop down menus to select how many subscribers you'll need to accommodate and the price goes up and down accordingly.

I myself am using just the basic plan that allows up to 1000 subscribers which works out at $15 a month which is all I need at the moment and you can do the same too. The pricing I think allows for most people's budgets.

*Note* For a limited time you can test the Plus plan free for 30 days.

There's other cool features that I like and you might find really useful as well like:

  • Free comprehensive course for newbies on how to grow your list by 10000 in 90 days
  • Activity tracking
  • Cart abandonment
  • Webinar hosting
  • CRM (customer relationship management) functionality
  • Automated sales funnels
  • 30 day full access free trial

What I Dislike

I've only a couple of gripes with Getresponse:

  • The drag and drop interface for building the landing pages can be fiddly and could do with fixing although I have heard there's a fix on the way.
  • No phone support

Final Verdict

Like I say, there's a fair many AR services out there but Getresponse is unique in the way that it diversifies itself from the rest by branching out into functions such as webinar hosting, CRM, automated funnel systems etc.

It's also priced competitively and will suit most budgets, for example, $15 a month won't be a huge chunk of change if you just getting started with marketing and over time as you begin to make money you can scale up your email marketing.

Also don't forget that you get a 30 day free trial with full access to all its features, you can use that time to start building your list and using all GR has to offer at zero cost, I did just that and I'm glad that I did.

I really hope this has helped in your decision in which autoresponder to choose and happy email marketing to you :)

Peter Squire

Email marketing is something I've wanted to implement into my website since the very beginning. I actually used Aweber for a month during the early days of running my website. The reason I didn't keep using was that after having 0 sign-ups at the time my next payment was due £19 seemed a little too high to pay. I realise now that it is maybe unfair for me to write off Aweber because of this. Really, I never gave them enough time, but in an ideal situation, even now, whilst I'm still in the early stages of building my email list I want the most affordable option. Not only this but something that fits with what I'm trying to do. So after a month or so of having no sign-up forms or email marketing set-up after leaving Aweber I began looking towards something else. My initial choice was MailChimp but after seeing the price was in the same range as Aweber I finally signed up for GetResponse. GetResponse I have been with now for 2 months. The price is £11/$15 a month for basic which includes up to 1k contacts email list. Ideal for me because at this stage 1000 is plenty, and the price is ideal.

What I Like

As mentioned above the price of basic membership I think is a steal. For beginners to email marketing, this is a platform I highly recommend. What I have found as well as the price it is very easy to use, the templates are great, and the customer support is top-notch. Very helpful. The other thing that is great about GetResponse is you can build and host Landing Pages on their server. This is made easy by again there ready-made templates. Actually I wish that I had found out about GetResponse before. I tried ClickFunnels for a week and could not make head nor tail of it but what I came to realise that the landing pages on GetResponse are just as good and $285 cheaper. Other than this there is still much about GetResponse that I haven't learned about yet. There are a few on-site free training videos I'm yet to check out but this is an absolute must I think. So far my list has got maybe 10 contacts so far but this I'm quite happy with at the moment. Something must be working. I am maybe writing this review a little early before I see the real benefits of this platform but it is very much worth joining for just these few things basic things at least I think.

What I Dislike

There is not really anything I don't like about GetResponse but one very minor thing when editing the templates it can sometimes be a bit difficult to use at times. I've found a way around most the issues to be fair and when I haven't the GetResponse support has been amazing. Also having to install another plugin on Wordpress is a tad bit inconvenient but it's all good. With Aweber I had to add a plugin also.

Final Verdict

This is a great platform for websites looking to begin building email lists. As far as I can tell there is no limit to how many lists you can have. This is ideal for me as I write a lot of reviews that are all worthy of their own lists. If you put the time into setting up several stage autoresponders this has the potential to increase your conversions by 2x, 5x and even more. The reason I signed up for a new email marketing platform was that somebody wrote on a blog I read that it had the power to increase your chances of commissions by as much as 90%. Any email marketing platform is worth joining for this reason but price-wise this is the best that I have found easy.

GetResponse is a leading email marketing solution.

This an email marketing app that allows you to:

  • create a mailing list and capture data onto it
  • create newsletter that can be sent to the subscribers on your mailing list
  • automate your emails to subscribers via use of autoresponders
  • view and analyse statistics related to your email marketing campaigns – open rate, click through, forwards etc.

In addition GetResponse also provides webinar hosting, landing pages, automated sales funnels and CRM (customer relationship management) functionality.

Good range of analytics and reporting options: open rate, click-through, unsubscribe rates and so on.

GetResponse landing pages will usually generate far more leads if, rather than simply directing people to a (cluttered! ) website.

Autofunnel

Getresponse provides you with an easy means to create sales funnels without the need for any other apps at all being necessary.

Fully functional the 30-day free trial.

GetResponse provides email marketing, automation, landing pages, e-commerce, sales funnels, some CRM functionality and webinars.

It's hard to think of any competing product that offers this 'all round' proposition.

Hi. I am Jamie. In this review I would like to share with you a email list building program which help me connect with my prospect and customers.

When I just started to do online, I will need email all my prospect and customer on a daily basis one by one which is very time consuming and tedious.

After getting this program now I can update all of them in a mass email which save a lot of time. Other than that it also automatically help me build my list so that I can differentiate them for different offer and products.

Now it has a new feature which is an auto-funnel which really help on my sales conversion.

You can try this for 1st month free and they also have tutorial to teach you maximize the features provided.

Hope this review help you decide on building your list.

I have been using Getresponse for over 2 years now and by far, this is the best online marketing platform that have helped me grow my sales and generate leads.

GetResponse is an all in one online marketing platform to grow your business. They provide amazing email marketing software that includes a drag and drop editor, autoresponders, signup forms, email templates, conversion funnel and unlimited landing pages. Over 350,000 businesses have used GetResponse and the company is growing rapidly with over 99% email deliverability rate.

In a nutshell, Getresponse is an email marketing app that allows you to:

1. Create mailing list

2. Send & automate your emails to subscribers using the ‘autoresponders' functionality

3. View and analyse statistics your email campaigns [open rate, click through rate, forwards and many more]

4. Create unlimited landing page

What I Like most about Getresponse - Is the Unlimited Landing Pages

The unlimited landing pages that the company has to offer by far is the best. I created all my landing pages for my affiliate link using getresponse landing page. This is where I don't have to worry about getting banned when I promote or advertise in any social platform like Facebook, Google ads etc.

Compare to other mailing apps, Getresponse represents one of the best and cost-effective ways to host and communicate with an email database. I found that Getresponse's priced competitively in its market and it will only cost you your lunch cost for a month to fully tap into what Getresponse has to offer.

What makes Getresponse stands out from the rest of the mailing apps or funnel is that it provides unlimited landing pages, email marketing, automation, conversion funnels, Facebook ads, eCommerce, webinars, web push notifications, full training with certification all under one roof.

It's hard to think of any competing email marketing solution that offers this 'all round' proposition, and its free trial length of 30 days is generous too.

Pros

  • User friendly – yes, that simple.
  • With the 'Basic' plan, Getresponse is still the cheapest compared to the many of its key competitors (need to mention this – unlimited features and certainly more functionality compared to its competitors)
  • 30 days free trial without even having your payment information/credit card details when sign-up
  • It outshines many competing products because of its flexible approach to data segmentation
  • Provide comprehensive full training with certification
  • Webinar functionality is great with a genuine USP
  • Comprehensive reporting features with detailed analysis.
  • Unlimited Landing Page with soo many templates to choose from.
  • Its ‘Conversion Funnel' is great for small businesses. As the app is user friendly, small business can manage all aspects of their email list, social media ads, webinar, conversation funnels and e-commerce under one roof.
  • Tremendous customer support with wide variety of languages.
  • Its integration is superb especially with Google Analytics

Cons

  • Webinar attendees are limited to 500
  • No direct phone contact provided [only if you are on 'Max Plan']
  • There's no two factor authentication at login stage.
  • No phone support is provided (unless you're on a 'Max' plan).

My Final Verdict, unlike other email or sales funnel app, Getresponse is a must have email marketing, converstion and automation tools. With the generous offer of 'Free Trial Length of 30 Days' without you having to provide any of your credit card details – this allow user to use Getresponse freely without having to worry about being charged after the 30 days if they feel that this app is not for them.

**Updated on October 6, 2021: Getresponse has recently announced a new Forever Free Plan:

The Free Plan Includes:

  • hosting 1 website with 5GB bandwidth
  • Connect your own domain or choose a free one
  • SEO-optimization tools
  • Security with SSL certificates
  • Build and host 1 landing page
  • Get up to 500 contacts
  • Send unlimited emails to your list
  • Library of predesigned email templates

Getresponse is one of the easiest to use, and most effective email marketing softwares online.

I have personally been Using GetResponse for my own website and have been seeing great results.

What I Like

  • Is affordable: Is one of the cheapest email marketing;GetResponse pricing starts at $15.00 per month, per user. They do not have a free version.g.tResponse offers a free trial 30 days.
  • Best for affiliate marketing: Some of the email marketing software, their T. O (Terms of service) say that they don't accept affiliate marketing, such as MailChimp, Aweber, and others
  • User friendly: One of the simplest email marketing software. In addition, you can literally create responsive automation, like you are creating a landing page;
  • AutoFunnel: Now, it's more than just an email marketing tool, it's a funnel builder too. Meaning that you can sell, you can build a funnel and start accepting money with it.
  • You can create Facebook ads inside the GetResponse platform which is amazing because you will have more details;
  • Webinar: You can create a webinar. If you want to scale your business the simplest and best way is by using webinars

What I Dislike

  • Although you can use the Facebook pixel with Getresponse's landing page feature, you can't do so in a GDPR compliant way.
  • There's a hard limit of 500 webinar attendees.
  • If you run into issues and it is more than what the chat person can solve their support response is very slow. I think this is because they are based in a different country. There have been a couple of times that I needed more in-depth support than what was available with Chat and one issue took weeks to get a response.

Final Verdict


With its long list of powerful features like landing pages and even webinars, and now with their Autofunnel feature, GetResponse is certainly doing quite a few things right. While it would be great to see an uplift in deliverability rates, GetResponse scores extremely well in most other areas. As an email marketing tool, it's definitely versatile enough to perform almost everything you'd need. I certainly find this to be true in the case for EmailToolTester's own email campaigns, and it's a tool I would have few reservations about recommending to others.

Getresponse is one of the best ways and methods to make sales, if you want to make money with affiliate marketing. With Getresponse, you can create almost everything to make a profit, such as landing pages, sales funnels, and more importantly, an email list.

Here's what I like best about this website:

  1. Fast interface. In contrast, ActiveCampaign is very slow.
  2. Support: 24/7 chat support + eMail support. Instant chat support, never have to wait. EMail support solves problems in Getresponse software in a short time. In contrast, there is no chat support in ActiveCampaign, only rarely and no help from ActiveCampaign. In fact, ActiveCampaign does not even reply to emails.
  3. Price: the best value for money software is Getresponse 2021. It is much better than ActiveCampaign. It does much more than Sendinblue or Mailchimp. I have worked with both of them, so I have experience. Sendinblue does not respond to emails, Mailchimp also does not respond to emails and Mailchimp is very expensive.
  4. The ActiveCampaign landing page builder does not have a webshop, Getresponse does. Yes, it's only a small webshop, but here it is and works fine through Stripe perfectly.
  5. Sales funnel, webinar. Multiple languages all in Getresponse. The eMail footer too, so if you're an entrepreneur outside the US, this is a small thing for you, but it might be important for you.
  6. Chat: a very good solution in Getresponse.
  7. Forms: the ActiveCampaign forms are ugly. Getresponse's forms are beautiful and everything Getresponse's forms do.

I can't really fault this website apart from the odd bug, but that doesn't stop me from using it. Go check it out for yourself and try a free 30 day trial to start with.

With Getresponse, you can create almost everything to make a profit, such as landing pages, sales funnels, and more importantly, an email list. They even let you create a website which is integrated with All services a website needs.

What I like about Getresponse:

  • Fast interface. In contrast, ActiveCampaign is very slow.
  • 24/7 Chat Support to help you navigate and create
  • Price, with respect to quality and service you get, no one compares to this service. I've tried all of them :)
  • Landing page creation and customization is fantastic and easy.
  • Desktop and Mobile friendly pages can be created in one session.
  • Sales funnels, very user friendly
  • Multiple languages all in Getresponse.
  • Beautiful and tested templates
  • Webinars and tutorial videos
  • Constant reminders about capabilities Getresponse has

What I dislike about Getresponse:


I can't fault Getresponse for anything except the odd bug which is normal as they are constantly upgrading to keep up with todays fast paced tech age. Bugs are quickly identified and quickly fixed. This is normal.

Final Verdict

1. Some marketers keep it simple. They invite their email subscribers to sign up for a free online event, such as a webinar, training session, product demo or build their email lists.

2. Other marketers make it more interesting. They design a 'sideways sales letter' — a drip campaign delivering fresh content every few days. One message is text. Another might be video. Another links to a landing page.

If you are a serious marketer and you are looking for a "all in one" reputable service to manage your business, this is it!

They have a 30 day free trial to let you test the service, this is what I did and found out it is way beyond the services others offer.

Try it and see it for yourself!

My experience with the program so far

The wonderful thing about GetResponse is that it allows you to define the size of your target list and factor that into its pricing. This means you only pay for what you need. And since the most basic plan already includes most of the features you're likely to need, you can end up saving a lot.

You also get unlimited landing pages and automation templates. You can create an unlimited number of funnels. The basic plan even allows you to sell electronics.

What I Like

  • The campaign creation feature makes it easier to respond to potential customers.
  • A list creation option is available
  • GetResponse offers good templates

What I Dislike

  • Some landing pages don't work very well on mobile devices.
  • The drag and drop feature could be improved.
  • There are minor issues with the user interface

Final Verdict
However, I'd definitly recommand it as it's trusted by millions of users

GetResponse has been around a long time. It is one of the largest and most established email marketing/autoresponder platforms. It's extremely professional and has stood the test of time. Some of the biggest household names in the corporate world use this platform to manage their customer relations and marketing.

GetResponse is very easy to use. Their drag-and-drop page editor is very intuitive and allows you to create squeeze pages in minutes. You can choose from tons of professional templates or create your own pages from scratch. What I particularly like is that, although an optimised mobile version of your page will be created for you automatically, you have the ability to hide certain elements which you want on the PC version but might clutter your mobile screen.

They have also incorporated a website builder more recently, which is also drag-and-drop easy. This allows you to create a free website which is hosted for you (again, for free) and is comparable to something like Weebly or Wix.

The list-builder, autoresponder and email management service is also free but if you get more than 1,000 subscribers or if you want to add a funnel and follow-up email series you will need to upgrade. This is standard practice for any 'free' email platform.

Highly recommended.

When I got started with affiliate marketing everyone told me that email marketing plays a very important role in online business.

That's why I started to learn and find a perfect platform for my online business, I found one of the sites that allows me to do email marketing but, After a few months I was facing problems with it like:

  • Difficult to understand sending a broadcast for a specific time and soon.

My experience with the program so far

Hello and welcome to my review on GetResponse. Before I start this review I would like to say that this in the future will not be my main autoresponder if you go to my other reviews and check out my review on my other favourite autoresponder you can check it out. The other autoresponder I like is called SendShark and will be my main autoresponder in the future.

GetResponse has been an amazing autoresponder. I have had an amazing run with it. I would have to say that GetResponse and Aweber are the top autoresponders (Up until I found out about SendShark) in the Affiliate world.

The autoresponder is easy to use and easy to set up your account once you are on the inside. The system has normal features that every autoresponder has.

Forms to create HTML codes for your capture pages on other sites like LeadsLeap, It has your broadcasts, the autoresponder campaigns, it has a capture page and landing page builder, easy setup of different lists and an easy-to-see and use contacts list.

One additional feature I like about GetResponse in the contact list area is the ability to see how engaged your clients are.

Getresponse has a 5-bar system to show how engaged each client is bar 1 is not engaged at all.

Bar 2: Is at risk of going to bar 1

Bar 3: Is Neutral engagement

Bar 4: is Engaged

Bar 5: Is highly engaged,

Now I like this system better than other autoresponders because it is easier to see how engaged these people are. This makes it easier to Clean Your List! As I have stated in previous reviews Cleaning Your List Is like taking your dirty laundry to the laundromat or your own washing machine. Simply if you don't work on your list and don't "wash your Laundry" Your list will get dirty and it will affect your open rates and so on. It is extremely, EXTREMELY, important that you clean your list now and again.

After meeting so many of the higher marketers in our industry and speaking with them, like John Thornhill, Igor Kheifets, James Neville-Taylor, Dean Holland and many others they always say CLEAN YOUR LIST.

GetResponse does make this easy with their bar system which shows how engaged the client is. The unfortunate part is this is not like looking forward to clean laundry though... Sometimes it is sad to see clients go and sometimes I have to remind myself as sad as it is I have to do what is best for business and get rid of the unengaged people who are bogging down my open rates. I am seeing darn near 60% open rates because I clean my list regularly. I usually wait a month but no more than a month because a certain newsletter might bring them back which I have had happen. My mentor Igor Kheifets when he was teaching me said something in his training about "Resurrecting the list" and I have done that with certain campaigns not so much the list itself but more so with clients who went dormant.

Anyway, enough rambling on about that. This feature is truly amazing and easier than other autoresponders.

I also like their easy-to-use save-a-template feature.

Ever get sick of making an email and having to add your business logo maybe even your picture and a few other things every single time to every new email you write? I do too. They have a very easy-to-use save-a-template feature where you can keep a template you've made for the future. For instance, my current template is...

Logo

Body

selfie of myself

and then my whole body is preformatted to the regular 18 pt font and Georgia text which is a normal setup for emails in email marketing.

I know its a very short description of my template but really the only thing changing in that each time is the body of my email the rest of the template never really changes.

All in all GetResponse has been a really amazing autoresponder but of course, is no longer my top recommendation (As I said above see my review on Sendshark) GetResponse also has automation and stuff which the SendShark autoresponder lacks.

I don't really ever use automation very much anyway so really for what I use GetResponse for, Sendshark gives me the same.

What I Like

  • I like the easy-to-use autoresponder. It is very simple and one of the top autoresponders and can honestly say it is probably even better than Aweber in some aspects
  • I like the save-a-template feature as it is very simple to save a template with the normal setup you always use for emails
  • I like the engaged bar feature as I mentioned above it is really easy to see who is and is not engaged on your list with this feature.
  • I like how easy it is to set up emails with a few clicks of a button you can have an email setup in seconds
  • I like that GetResponse seems like one of the more professional autoresponders. I am all about being professional so when I see a tool that reflects that I really like it as I was brought up being taught about business and professionalism.

What I Dislike

Usually, I don't have complaints about systems that I thoroughly enjoy but this one on the other hand I do have a couple of dislikes.

  • Price- The price can be steep as I am paying 30 dollars a month right now for 2500 subscribers and that is not horribly bad but when you go past 2500 the price can go up from there. In my review on SendShark, I talk about the price for that autoresponder for 50,000 subscribers it is 25.00 a month or 300 for a year and when you get up to 50,000 subscribers with this one it is 245 dollars a month or 2940 dollars a year... Yea, that's going to be steep especially when I plan to take this Affiliate Marketing straight to the top and hope to have a huge list someday...
  • TOO PICKY... Sometimes when trying to import your subscribers from other lists on other autoresponders you own when those subscribers have opted into your list they don't like you importing them and will reject the import... Do it enough times and GetResponse will just bring down what I like to call "The Ban Hammer" I have never been banned by them but this makes it hard to switch over to them with a list from another autoresponder because they are too picky. I once tried to bring over a list from a different autoresponder because I was trying to get rid of it and they rejected it. They were prequalified leads but they wouldn't allow it...
  • Last dislike... They will take away campaigns and stuff if you knock back your subscription... Yup if you ever downgrade I got told that it will erase my work if I downgrade... That is sort of a kick in the pants considering that you did all that work into building those campaigns and they don't let you keep them there if you downgrade...

Final Verdict

My final verdict is I still think eventhough I had 3 dislikes about GetResponse that it is still worth it to the right person. If you don't care about the above dislikes and care to have a very professional autoresponder then GetResponse is for you. They are really amazing and really simple to use.

I said above that they are probably better than Aweber. I have had many issues with Aweber that I haven't had with GetResponse.

They are a great Autoresponder and I do stand behind them despite the dislikes. It was the very first autoresponder I started with and I have been really amazed.

I hope you enjoyed reading my review on GetResponse and I hope I have helped you make an informed decision on whether or not to go with GetResponse! Thanks for reading and I will catch you the next time.
