GetResponse
GetResponse is perfect for small to medium businesses. For a large business, it certainly could be used in some areas. One example would be for clients that are looking to get started with email marketing. I would not expect it to run a business as Salesforce or Keep. However, GetResponse is robust enough and has a solid suite of tools that would serve a medium or small business quite well. And of course, if a company is just looking for an email marketing solution GetResponse would be ideal. And to go even further, depending on the level of service you use, GetResponse has the potential to do things you might have been using separate tools for. Building funnels, the ability to host webinars, building landing pages. It's all there and it is priced very well.

MailCampaigns
It's particularly well-suited for e-commerce businesses looking to send targeted product recommendations based on browsing history and past purchases. However, it may be less appropriate for organizations requiring extensive design customization or those with simple, low-volume email needs. The software is HIPAA compliant and has a SOC 2 certification, which are both huge factors considering we work with sensitive customer data that as a company have to be compliant to do everything within the necessary regulations of data protection.

Pros
GetResponse
  • Email creation—A simple interface and a variety of tools make it easy to create very attractive emails quickly.
  • List building—GetResponse is ideal for setting-up and using any number of segmented lists/
  • Forms and landing pages—These tools are also fairly strong, however, GetResponse (ironically) does not provide responsive forms for mobile, which I would think would be an urgent problem. They have so far not addressed it.
  • Customer support—Customer support via chat and email is strong. It's disappointing the company has pulled the plug on live phone-in support.

  • AI-powered subject line optimizer for improved open rates
  • Dynamic content blocks that personalize email content at scale

Cons
GetResponse
  • The email editor is kind of a nightmare. Elements don't move or behave how you'd expect, the font choices are limited and pretty lame, adding new elements is difficult or often impossible... the whole thing feels 5+ years outdated. Buggy, slow, and extremely limited in functionality.
  • The entire UI feels similarly outdated and slow--just seems like GetResponse hasn't kept up with the curve of the market in terms of performance or aesthetics.

MailCampaigns
  • Limited template customization options for complex designs
  • Occasional lag in reporting dashboard updates
  • Absence of a built-in image editor for quick graphic customization

As I mentioned before. I believe that the platform is easy to use. Simple and easy process from start to finish. Email efficient and get to the client quickly. Catch errors that would prevent getting to where i need it to go. Overall great experience and would renew without question

In fact, we started seeing ROI on the MailCampaigns app in the first three months of using it. The time needed to setup and learn quickly paid off later when we started seeing better campaign performance and more revenue for our email marketing campaigns.

Excellent general support. However, in case of an escalation, their turnaround time over email (follow through) can go higher

Alternatives Considered
GetResponse
Not the top of the heap and certainly far from the bottom. GR is arguably one of the best solutions for Home based or small shops. It is out of the box whereas some of the others are not as complete or more difficult to unpack. It lacks some features but over-delivers on others.

Prior to MailCampaigns, I used Mailchimp and Constant Contact. While both are solid options, MailCampaigns offers superior segmentation capabilities. Unlike Mailchimp, which limits the number of segmentation conditions, MailCampaigns allows for unlimited layered segmentation

Return on Investment
GetResponse
  • Only negative. They cleaned our entire contact list.
  • We had to start over with Get Response. Now that they have forcefully freed us, we'll be redownloading our actual customer and prospect list from our CRM.
  • They will not refund us. We paid for a year and they gave us 5 months. So we are also out $5,000.
