GetResponse, email with webinars and courses attached

Three ladders, one subscription

Priced by list size with unlimited sends on paid plans; annual billing saves about 18%. The list-size selector starts at 1,000 contacts. Current amounts: the official GetResponse pricing page.

Amounts were read in euros from the pricing page as served in Europe; GetResponse bills in USD or EUR and the USD ladder can differ.

Starter is email and autoresponders with a single automation workflow; Marketer opens unlimited automation and segmentation; Creator adds a website builder, courses and webinars. The list-size selector starts at a thousand contacts, so there is no published sub-thousand rung. Every rung, list size by list size, with the annual discount worked out, is in the GetResponse plans and pricing breakdown. Against the incumbent, the GetResponse vs Mailchimp comparison prices both on the same 5,000 contact newsletter and shows where unlimited sending changes the bill. Price your exact list against the field in the cost calculator.

Built for more than one list

GetResponse's case is breadth: running several brands or audiences under one login, and bundling webinars or a course alongside the newsletter instead of paying for a separate tool. If you need that spread, it consolidates spend. If you only send a newsletter, you would pay for capability you never open, and a newsletter-first platform is cheaper: the GetResponse versus MailerLite comparison prices that trade-off on the same list. Coming from Mailchimp, the Mailchimp to GetResponse migration guide lists what imports and what you rebuild, object by object. From ActiveCampaign, the ActiveCampaign to GetResponse guide covers scores, tags and suppressions.

What several brands cost, and how automation treats them

Running several brands in GetResponse usually means one list per brand, and each list keeps its own From address, opt-in settings, confirmation email and language, so readers of one brand never see the other brand's sender. The catch is billing. GetResponse's help article on how its pricing works states that each list is treated independently: an address on two lists counts as two contacts, and its own example bills four people spread across three lists as eight. Before you pick a rung on the GetResponse list-size ladder, count list memberships rather than unique people, and drop the duplicates no brand needs.

Newsletters are deduplicated at send time, so someone on several lists receives one copy. Automation is different. GetResponse's help centre says a workflow treats the same person on different lists as separate contacts, who can enter and run through it more than once. The documented fix is the Unique contacts filter, which lets a first entry through and routes returning duplicates away. Starter allows one custom workflow; Marketer lifts that cap, which is the rung where a welcome flow per brand becomes realistic. If you are merging several Mailchimp audiences into GetResponse lists, the object-by-object Mailchimp to GetResponse inventory shows what carries over, and deduplicating before the import keeps the billed count down.

A currency caveat worth naming

The ladder in this dossier was captured in euros because the pricing page served European rates. GetResponse bills in dollars or euros, and the two grids are not always a clean conversion. Before you commit, confirm the current amount in your currency on the official GetResponse pricing page.
