In their own words
GetResponse
GetResponse is a lifecycle automation platform combining email, SMS, web push, lead capture, ecommerce tools, and revenue tracking. Its AI tools generate emails and campaigns, help create content, and recommend products. Marketing automation uses visual workflows, web events, triggers, and templates; ecommerce features include promo codes, abandoned-cart reminders, and store integrations. The platform also provides landing pages, webinars, audience segmentation, and A/B testing. Its REST API can manage campaigns and newsletters, gather statistics, and manage segments. The iOS and Android app supports lists, contacts, newsletters, workflows, webinars, funnels, landing pages, and forms. GetResponse offers a free plan and a 14-day trial; paid plans are listed from $15.58/mo (annual). Free accounts have limits on webinars, messages, landing-page visits, automation, and chats. Free landing pages allow 1,000 unique visitors per month, and webinars are limited to 10 people including presenters. After the premium trial, premium features are removed unless the account is upgraded, while the free version remains available.
