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

Mailjet

  • Free plan caps at 6,000 emails per month with a hard 200 emails per day limit
  • Starter plan is capped at 2,000 contacts; unlimited contacts require the Essential tier
  • Email credits do not roll over and unused emails expire at the end of each billing cycle
  • Essential and Premium plans both cap at 15,000 emails per month for $17 and $27 respectively, so the price increase buys other features, not more volume
