Let’s take a look at the top differences:
Let’s take a look at the top differences:
Ontraport offers all the features you need now and as your business evolves
GetResponse is primarily an email marketing platform and, while email marketing is critical, it’s just one part of the marketing and sales process. As you grow you’ll need a system that can manage all the other parts, too, so you won’t get stuck with faulty integrations and disconnected customer experiences.
Ontraport comes with everything you need to attract and engage your customers — including CRM, advanced marketing automation, websites, appointment scheduling and management, payments, CMS, forms, email marketing, Facebook ad integrations and analytics.
Ontraport goes the extra mile to deliver your emails
GetResponse comes with a lot of great email features, but one crucial thing is missing: You won’t have the ability to use your own custom sending domain — an important part of controlling your sender reputation and email deliverability — unless you pay for a pricey, enterprise-level plan. Plus if you run into any issues, you’ll be limited to whatever level of support corresponds with your pricing tier.
Meanwhile, Ontraport allows all plan levels to use their custom sending domains at no cost and get free, in-depth education on best practices to avoid spam. Our postmaster team is available to review your email program and coach you to success, and high-volume senders can get a dedicated IP for complete control.
Ontraport makes it easy to send segmented and personalized emails
When it comes to segmenting your list so you can send targeted messages, the type of system you go with matters. With list-based systems like GetResponse, you have to manually move contacts to different segments as they move through your sales cycle or show interest in different types of offerings. This often ends in messy situations such as duplicate contacts and people getting the wrong emails.
With Ontraport’s database-backed email system, contacts are automatically added and removed from segments based on criteria you set up.
Ontraport gives you speedy and helpful technical support
Like many platforms, both GetResponse and Ontraport offer chat and email support — but Ontraport takes it a step further by also offering screen share calls, making it easy to work through your most challenging questions.

With Ontraport you get everything you need in one platform, and you won’t have to integrate other tools or forgo essential features.
Our pricing tiers are designed to grow alongside you, so you’ll never end up with a price tag that’s disproportionate to your business size. You’ll have access to the functionality you need to grow, whether you’re just starting out or running an established business.
All plans start with a 14-day free trial, no commitment required. If you decide to purchase, you can choose from four plans and upgrade or downgrade any time.

GetResponse’s Marketing Automation plan comes with features that are helpful for getting started — but as your business grows, so does your price tag.
For example, say you want to use SMS marketing to boost your results for promotions. Regardless of your budget and business size, you’ll need to use their MAX plan — which is $999/month (and that’s just the starting price).
There are also some essential features missing from the platform. The only way to manage your complete marketing and sales cycle is to purchase separate software to handle your CRM, calendar, website content and more.

GetResponse appears cheaper
…But at $49/month, you’re missing a lot of important features like:
- SMS marketing
- A dedicated sending domain
- Ecommerce marketing
- Transactional emails
- Performance reporting
You’d need a MAX plan to get all that — which starts at $999.
If you need a CRM, sales tools, calendar or content management system, you'll have to buy and integrate additional tools.

“Hands down, Ontraport's campaign mapping is above and beyond any other tool I work with. It's better than ActiveCampaign. It's better than HubSpot, GetResponse … they're all narrow-minded, and you have to string them together.
… With Ontraport, you can put everything down on one canvas.”
