Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

GetResponse

  • Starter, Marketer and Creator plans are all capped at 1,000 contacts regardless of the $19, $59 or $69 monthly price
  • Starter plan limits AI tool usage to 3 uses and includes only 1 custom automation workflow
  • SMS marketing and mobile push notifications are reserved for the custom-priced Enterprise tier
  • The $15.58, $48.38 and $56.58 monthly-equivalent rates require paying annually; standard monthly billing is $19, $59 and $69

Klaviyo

  • The free plan caps active profiles at 250 and sends at 500 emails a month
  • Pricing scales with stored profile count rather than with messages sent, so an unengaged list costs the same as an active one
  • SMS is metered separately, with only $5 of mobile messages included on the free plan
  • Paid tier prices are not published on the pricing page and depend on profile count
