GetResponse Alternatives in 2026: 10 Options, Prices Checked

GetResponse is a full marketing suite: email, landing pages, automation, webinars and, on higher plans, a course builder. People look elsewhere for structural reasons that show up on its own pricing page. On 8 October 2026, for a 1,000-contact list in USD:

• Plans step up sharply. Starter was $19/month (billed monthly) and Marketer $59, about three times as much. Starter includes one custom automation workflow. Unlimited workflows, advanced segmentation, abandoned cart recovery and sales funnels start on Marketer.
• Price follows list size. At 2,500 contacts the same plans were $29, $69 and $79 a month.
• Webinars and courses cost more. The webinar tool, website builder, course creator and paid newsletters sit on Creator, $69/month at 1,000 contacts. SMS and mobile push are Enterprise-only, with custom pricing.
• The trial is short. It’s 14 days, after which premium features stop unless you upgrade. Billing is monthly or 12 months, and yearly saves 18%.

In GetResponse’s favor, every plan lists unlimited monthly email sends, which several alternatives below cap. If cost, list size or limits are why you’re looking, these 10 are worth comparing.

The alternatives

1. MailerLite: the closest all-round swap for less

MailerLite’s Free plan covers up to 250 subscribers and 2,500 emails a month. Comfort is $12/month ($10.80 billed yearly) for up to 500 subscribers, with 5,000 monthly emails, 3 seats, 50 automations, 10 websites or landing pages and an AI writing assistant. Power is $25 monthly ($22.50 yearly) with unlimited emails, automations and seats. Digital products are on every plan and paid newsletters from Comfort. A 14-day trial needs no card.

Not for: teams that use GetResponse webinars; the pricing page lists no webinar hosting or course builder.

2. ActiveCampaign: deeper automation

For 1,000 contacts billed annually, ActiveCampaign showed Starter at $15/month, Plus $49, Pro $79 and Enterprise $145. Starter limits each automation to 5 actions. Unlimited actions and landing pages start on Plus. Pro adds 3 users, predictive sending, conditional content and attribution. CRM pipelines are paid add-ons. There’s a 14-day trial with no card and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Not for: anyone who wants a low flat price. The page shows annual billing for these figures, and costs rise with contacts.

3. Brevo: pay by email volume

Brevo’s Free plan allows up to 300 emails a day, per its FAQ. Starter is $9/month ($8.08 yearly) from 5,000 emails a month. Standard, $18 ($16.17 yearly), adds automation workflows, A/B testing, send-time optimization and a landing page. Professional is $499 monthly from 150,000 emails, with 10 seats, WhatsApp and push. Every plan includes transactional email.

Not for: webinar or course users, and Starter has no automation.

4. Kit: for creators with a paid audience

Kit’s Free plan covers up to 10,000 subscribers with unlimited broadcasts, landing pages and forms. Creator is $33/month ($390 yearly) at 1,000 subscribers and adds unlimited visual automations and sequences. Pro is $66/month. Kit lists free migrations and a 3.5% + 30c fee on product and subscription sales.

Not for: businesses that need webinars or a website builder in one account.

5. AWeber: flat plans for small lists

At 0 to 500 subscribers, Lite is $15/month ($12.50 yearly): 1 list, 3 landing pages, 3 automations and 3 users. Plus is $30 ($20 yearly) with unlimited lists, landing pages, automations and users, plus 24/7 priority support. Monthly sends are capped at 10x (Lite) or 12x (Plus) your subscriber count. A 14-day trial and free migration are listed.

Not for: frequent senders to small lists, where the cap bites.

6. Omnisend: built for online stores

Omnisend describes itself as a marketing automation platform for ecommerce. Free allows 500 emails a month to 250 contacts, and its FAQ says Free includes the paid plans’ features within those limits. Standard is $16/month (6,000 emails at 500 contacts). Pro is $59 with unlimited emails and SMS from $0.007 a message. Migration is free in up to 5 days.

Not for: non-store businesses, such as creators or B2B services.

7. Mailchimp: the familiar option

Free allows 250 contacts and 500 sends a month (250 a day). Essentials is $13/month, Standard $20 (up to 200 flows, generative AI) and Premium $350, all at the smallest contact tier. Essentials and Standard come with a 14-day trial. Sends are capped at 10 to 15 times your contacts, and sending pauses at the limit.

Not for: growing lists on a budget. Essentials flows are limited to 4 steps.

8. Sender: a larger free plan

Free covers up to 2,500 subscribers and 15,000 emails a month, with automation, landing pages and forms, but with Sender branding. At up to 500 subscribers, Standard is $9/month (6,000 emails, 3 seats, no branding, A/B testing) and Professional $15 (12,000 emails, 10 seats). Annual billing shows 30% off the first year.

Not for: teams that need advanced CRM or webinars.

9. Moosend: low-cost automation, now part of Constant Contact

Constant Contact announced in June 2025 that it had acquired Moosend from Sitecore, and the site now says “By Constant Contact”. Pro is priced by contacts: $9/month at 500, $16 at 1,000, $48 at 5,000 and $88 at 10,000 (monthly billing; about 20% less annually). There’s a 30-day free trial with no card.

Not for: buyers wary of a recent ownership change.

10. Encharge: behavior-based email for SaaS

Encharge’s page is written for SaaS businesses. Growth is $99/month ($79 yearly) for up to 2,000 subscribers, with unlimited flows and team members. Premium, $159 ($129 yearly), adds Salesforce, HubSpot and Shopify integrations, transactional email and event-based segments. There’s a 14-day trial.

Not for: newsletters or stores that need a low entry price.

Quick comparison

How to choose

1. Start with what you use. If it’s webinars or the course builder, no alternative here lists them; pair a separate webinar tool. If it’s mostly email and automation, the cheaper tools cover it.
2. Price at your real list size. Moosend Pro showed $16 at 1,000 contacts, $48 at 5,000 and $88 at 10,000. GetResponse Starter went from $19 at 1,000 to $29 at 2,500.
3. Check send caps. GetResponse lists unlimited sends. Mailchimp caps at 10x to 15x contacts, AWeber at 10x to 12x subscribers, and Brevo charges by volume.
4. Match the tool to the business. Stores: Omnisend. Creators: Kit. Automation depth: ActiveCampaign. SaaS: Encharge. A small business newsletter: MailerLite or Brevo. Newsletter-first buyers can compare best newsletter platforms.
5. Use free migration. Kit, Omnisend, Sender and AWeber list free migration help, and every tool here has a trial or free plan.
