The short version

  • Only GetResponse has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: GetResponse starter, Marketer and Creator plans are all capped at 1,000 contacts regardless of the $19, $59 or $69 monthly price; Moosend there is no free forever plan, only a 30-day trial, so a very small list that would sit inside Mailchimp or MailerLite free tiers has to start paying immediately.

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

Moosend

  • There is no free forever plan, only a 30-day trial, so a very small list that would sit inside Mailchimp or MailerLite free tiers has to start paying immediately.
  • Sitecore acquired Moosend in 2021 and Moosend is a low-price product inside an enterprise digital experience vendor, so it competes for investment against products with far higher deal values.
  • The prices for higher contact tiers are not shown as a table; you must select your contact count to reveal a figure, which makes comparing the cost curve against competitors tedious.
  • The integration catalogue is small compared with Klaviyo or ActiveCampaign, and deep ecommerce features such as predictive segmentation and advanced product recommendations are shallow by comparison.
  • Deliverability on shared infrastructure at the entry tier is adequate rather than good, and dedicated IP access sits in the quoted Enterprise tier, which matters if you send high volume to cold-ish lists.
