GetResponse Pricing 2026: 5 Plans from Free to Enterprise (Full Breakdown)
GetResponse's pricing page is cleaner than most, but the tier boundaries don't line up with how people actually shop for email platforms. We decode every plan at every subscriber size, show where Starter crushes Mailchimp, and where Creator loses to ActiveCampaign.
Every GetResponse plan at 1,000 subscribers
GetResponse (like most email tools) scales price with subscriber count. Here's the baseline at 1,000 contacts — the most common starting point:
| Plan | Monthly @ 1K subs | What you unlock |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 (500 subs cap) | Newsletters, signup forms, one landing page. No automation. |
| Starter | $19 | Unlimited newsletters, autoresponders, basic automation, AI email generator. |
| Marketer | $59 | Advanced automation, webinars, paid ad creator, sales funnels. |
| Creator | $69 | Everything in Marketer + online courses + LMS features. |
| Enterprise | Custom quote | Dedicated IP, SLA, transactional email, SSO, usage-based billing. |

Note the two-tier jump from Starter ($19) to Marketer ($59). That $40 gap is the single most important pricing decision with GetResponse — it's where you pay for real marketing automation (conditional workflows, tagging logic, lead scoring). If you don't need those, stay on Starter.
Where GetResponse Starter wins at 1K subs
At 1,000 subscribers, GetResponse Starter at $19/mo is genuinely competitive. Here's how it stacks against the other major platforms:
| Tool | Entry-paid plan @ 1K subs | Has basic automation? |
|---|---|---|
| GetResponse Starter | $19/mo | Yes (autoresponders + simple workflows) |
| Brevo Starter | $9/mo | Limited (no conditional logic) |
| Mailchimp Essentials | $13/mo | Very limited (Customer Journeys locked to Standard) |
| AWeber Plus | $30/mo | Yes |
| ActiveCampaign Starter | $19/mo | Yes (this is ActiveCampaign's strength) |
| Kit Creator | $33/mo | Yes |
At this tier GetResponse and ActiveCampaign tie on price, but GetResponse throws in an AI email generator and templated landing pages that ActiveCampaign charges extra for. For small businesses and solopreneurs who want everything in one place at $19, GetResponse Starter is our top pick in this niche — and it's reflected in our email marketing rankings.
Where GetResponse loses at 10K subscribers
The story changes as your list grows. GetResponse's price scaling is steeper than several competitors past 5K subscribers, and at 10K the rankings flip:
| Tool | Mid-tier plan @ 10K subs (approx) |
|---|---|
| Brevo Standard | $18/mo (pricing by send volume, not contact count) |
| AWeber Plus | $65/mo |
| Kit Creator | $139/mo |
| GetResponse Starter | $79/mo |
| Mailchimp Standard | $100/mo |
| ActiveCampaign Starter | $99/mo |
Brevo's send-volume pricing model wins decisively at 10K+ subscribers if your send frequency is low. For someone emailing a 10K list 2x/month (~20K sends), Brevo runs under $20 while GetResponse charges for the list size regardless of how often you email it.
The break-even line: if you email your list more than 4x/month, GetResponse's per-subscriber model becomes competitive again. Below that frequency, Brevo's send-based pricing is a better fit. Full cost-curve analysis in our Email Marketing Pricing at 1K / 10K / 50K post.
GetResponse Creator: worth the $10 over Marketer?
The $59 → $69 jump from Marketer to Creator gets asked about constantly. It's only worth it if you'll actually sell online courses or use the LMS features. Creator includes:
- Course builder (modules, lessons, quizzes, certificates)
- Course sales pages tied to Stripe/PayPal
- Student progress tracking + drip content release
- All Marketer features — marketing automation, webinars, paid ads
Our take: if you already use a dedicated LMS (Teachable, Thinkific, Podia), the Creator upgrade is wasted spend. If you're course-curious but haven't committed to a platform, the $10 delta is far cheaper than running a separate $40+/mo Teachable subscription — GetResponse Creator is effectively $10/mo for LMS functionality.
GetResponse hidden costs (the fine print)
- Annual billing discount (~18%) vs monthly. GetResponse advertises monthly prices on the pricing page, but the "save 18%" button swaps all prices to annual. The $19 Starter becomes $15.58/mo annual — or you can pay monthly at true $19. Factor in whether you want the flexibility.
- Max Newsletter send limit. Paid plans have a 4x list-size monthly send cap (meaning at 10K subs you can send up to 40K emails/mo). Heavy senders hit this earlier than expected — transactional platforms like Brevo don't cap.
- Pro/Max/Enterprise upsell. The public pricing page shows 4 plans but sales reps will pitch "Max" (formerly Enterprise) with usage-based billing, dedicated IP, and account management. Starts around $999/mo. Not advertised but frequently quoted.
- Webinars cap by attendee count, not list size. Marketer plan includes webinars for up to 100 attendees. If you run larger webinars you need Creator or pay-per-use.
Verdict
GetResponse is the best all-in-one pick for small businesses in the 500–5,000 subscriber range who want email + basic automation + landing pages in one tool for under $30. Past 10K subscribers with low send frequency, Brevo's pricing model becomes much more efficient. If you need deep automation logic above anything else, ActiveCampaign Plus ($59) is built for that and GetResponse Marketer ($59) matches it feature-for-feature on price — pick based on UI preference.
