The tiers, explained
Starter — $19/month at 1,000 contacts
Starter ($19/month for a 1,000-contact list, $15.58/mo with annual billing; rising with list size) covers AI-powered email essentials: unlimited monthly sends, the AI email and subject-line generators, a welcome series, one automation workflow, landing pages, popups, and a free custom domain on annual plans. Annual billing saves about 18% ($19 → $15.58). For a new coach validating an audience, Starter plus the trial is a cheap laboratory — but the single automation workflow is a hard ceiling you'll feel within weeks.
Marketer — $59/month at 1,000 contacts
Marketer ($59/month per 1,000 contacts, $48.38/mo with annual billing) removes the workflow cap entirely and adds the ecommerce arsenal: abandoned-cart recovery, promo codes, sales funnels, product recommendations, advanced segmentation with scoring and tagging, and unlimited web push. Stores and sellers doing real revenue live here. The jump from Starter is steep — $40 more monthly ($59 − $19) — so only climb when cart flows or scoring will directly earn it back.
Creator — $69/month at 1,000 contacts
Creator ($69/month per 1,000 contacts, $56.58/mo with annual billing) is the teaching bundle: everything in Marketer plus the course builder, webinars with paid-webinar support, a website builder, and premium newsletters. Consolidation is the pitch — email, courses, webinars, and site in one subscription replacing four. A coach paying separately for a webinar tool and a course host typically saves money here even before counting the email. Check course-transaction terms on the vendor page before forecasting sales income.
Enterprise — custom
Enterprise (custom quote) adds dedicated IPs and domains, SSO, transactional email, SMS marketing, mobile push, and a customer experience manager. Relevant only past ~100,000 contacts or for compliance-driven teams; everyone else should ignore it.
The trial-only truth and the annual discount
| Plan | Monthly billing | Annual billing (per month) | Yearly total, annual |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $19/mo ($228/yr) | $15.58/mo | $186.96 (12 × $15.58) |
| Marketer | $59/mo ($708/yr) | $48.38/mo | $580.56 (12 × $48.38) |
| Creator | $69/mo ($828/yr) | $56.58/mo | $678.96 (12 × $56.58) |
Two warnings. First, the free story: the pricing page lists a trial and no permanent free plan — budget paid from month one, because there is no usable free version to fall back on. Second, annual billing cuts each plan about 18% ($19 → $15.58, $59 → $48.38, $69 → $56.58), worth taking only after the trial has proven the platform earns its keep.
GetResponse vs. the alternatives on price
Against Kit, GetResponse Creator ($69/mo) costs more than Kit Creator ($33/mo billed annually) while adding webinars and courses Kit lacks — teachers who run cohorts win here, newsletter-only writers lose. Price the bundle against your current webinar + course-host total before judging the sticker.
Against standalone stacks (a webinar tool plus a course host plus MailerLite Comfort at $12/mo), Creator usually wins on total cost past the first cohort. Webinar-free newsletter writers should skip GetResponse entirely for Kit or beehiiv.
Cost scenarios
| Scenario | Estimated monthly cost | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Solo creator — 1,000 contacts, weekly newsletter | $19/mo ($15.58/mo billed annually) | Starter |
| Course coach — 2,500 contacts, webinars plus courses | $69/mo at 1,000 contacts and up (verify your list-size rung) | Creator |
| Scaled teacher — full bundle with funnels | Marketer $59/mo without webinars or courses; Creator $69/mo with them | Marketer or Creator |
Sends are unlimited on every paid tier, so these numbers move with contact count and plan choice — not frequency. Annual billing cuts about 18% off monthly rates; the figures above use monthly billing unless noted.
Hidden fees & fine print
- The free story ends at the trial: the pricing page lists no permanent free plan — budget paid from month one.
- Webinars, courses, and paid newsletters are Creator-only — Starter and Marketer buyers cannot add them as extras.
- List size reprices every tier, so prune cold subscribers quarterly — per-list pricing punishes vanity metrics.
- Starter caps automation at one workflow with capped AI-generator uses — deeper tooling requires Marketer (from $59/mo).
- Check course-transaction and paid-webinar terms on the vendor page before forecasting sales income.
- SMS, dedicated IPs, and transactional email sit behind Enterprise — check the plan comparison if you need them.
GetResponse pricing FAQs
Is there a GetResponse free plan?
Effectively no. The pricing page lists a trial with no permanent free plan. Budget for Starter ($19/mo) from the start if you're building anything serious.
Starter vs. Marketer: when is $59 worth it?
When you need more than one automation workflow, cart recovery, or ecommerce segmentation. The $40 gap ($59 − $19) is one decision: newsletter-only senders should stay on Starter and bank the difference.
What do course creators get on Creator ($69)?
The course builder, webinars with paid-webinar support, premium newsletters, and a website builder — alongside full Marketer automation. Compare against your current webinar + course-host total before judging the sticker.
How fast does GetResponse get expensive?
List-size repricing climbs past the 1,000-contact rates above, so per-list pricing rewards lean, engaged lists: sunset non-openers quarterly and keep lead magnets qualified, or the ladder climbs faster than your revenue.
Does GetResponse take a cut of course or webinar sales?
Check the current transaction terms on the vendor pricing page before forecasting sales income — platform fees, if any, sit beside the plan price, and payment processing always applies separately.
Can I keep using GetResponse for free after the trial?
The pricing page lists no permanent free plan, so treat the platform as paid-or-nothing (Starter from $19/mo) when you're building anything real.
