What to know first
GetResponse starts at EUR 16 per month for Starter with 1,000 contacts on monthly billing, or EUR 13.12 on yearly billing.

Who GetResponse is best for
Creators who sell courses and webinars
Creator adds hosted webinars, a course builder with quizzes and certificates, and paid newsletter subscriptions, which saves a solo seller from stitching separate tools together.
Online stores on Shopify or WooCommerce
One-click store integrations feed abandoned-cart reminders and product recommendations, and Marketer adds recovery flows and promo codes with revenue reports.
Senders who dislike per-email billing
Unlimited monthly sending on all plans means a newsletter that goes out daily costs the same as one that goes out monthly, as long as the contact count holds.

What GetResponse does
- Visual automation builder
- A drag-and-drop canvas starts workflows from web events such as video views, logins and content downloads, which lets a marketer react to behavior beyond opens and clicks.
- AI generators
- An AI email generator, an AI campaign generator that drafts a landing page, welcome email and newsletter together, and an AI writing assistant are offered, with three uses on Starter.
- Perfect Timing and Time Travel
- Send-time optimization delivers messages when each subscriber is likely to read them, and Time Travel delivers in the subscriber's own time zone, so a global list gets a morning send everywhere.
- Landing pages with A/B tests
- Pages include SEO settings and A/B testing built into the editor, and the free account caps landing page traffic at 1,000 unique visitors a month, so a popular page needs a paid plan.
- Ad management
- Meta and Google ad campaigns can be managed from the same account, and a Google lead extension is listed, which suits a small team without an ads specialist.
How GetResponse handles your data
The privacy policy says Google Workspace API data is not used to develop or train generalized AI or machine learning models, and it is silent on other customer or subscriber data. It says data is removed or masked before AI analysis of feedback. Data stays for the life of the account, a free account unused for 90 days is disabled, deactivated paid accounts keep data for 120 days, and subscriber data stays until unsubscribing. The policy names no hosting region, mentions no certifications, and lists Google LLC (USA) for some transfers outside the EEA.
Where GetResponse falls short in practice
- Starter is a thin tier. Starter gives one custom workflow and three AI uses, so a team that wants branching automation has to move to Marketer at EUR 54 for 1,000 contacts.
- Free account restrictions. Free messages carry a GetResponse badge, landing pages stop at 1,000 unique visitors a month and webinars hold 10 people, which limits it to a trial of the workflow rather than a lasting setup for a growing list.
- No security page found. The legal index links no dedicated security or trust page, so certifications and the hosting region could not be confirmed from the pages read, and a buyer needs to ask the vendor for them.

Alternatives to GetResponse
GetResponse: common questions
Does GetResponse limit how many emails I send?
No. Email sending is unlimited per month on all plans, and the contact table runs from 1,000 to 100,000 contacts. Your bill rises with the contact count and plan tier, so a large list that mails often costs the same as one that mails rarely.
How much AI can I use on Starter?
Starter limits the AI email and subject line generators and the AI landing page creator to 3 uses. The features page lists an AI campaign generator and AI course creator too. Higher plans list more AI tools, so check the counts in a trial before relying on it.
Is there a free GetResponse plan?
A free account exists, with a GetResponse badge on messages, landing pages capped at 1,000 unique visitors a month and webinars limited to 10 people. A free account unused for 90 consecutive days is disabled, according to the privacy policy.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
Deactivated paid accounts keep data for 120 days so you can reactivate, and newsletter subscriber data is kept until a person unsubscribes. The policy gives no export procedure. Export your lists and automations yourself before closing the account, because deletion timing after 120 days is not spelled out.
Which store platforms connect in one click?
The features page names Shopify, Magento, PrestaShop and WooCommerce, with abandoned-cart reminders and product recommendations. Stripe and PayPal also appear. The pages read do not list the exact data synced from each store, so test order and product data in a trial.
