The short version

  • Only Twist 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; Twist the free plan only exposes the last 1 month of comments and messages; older history is hidden until you upgrade
