GetResponse vs MailerLite
Both ladders below were read from the vendors’ own pricing pages, in this market, on the dates shown. Nothing is converted: what you see is what each page showed a reader here.
What each one is
GetResponsesite ↗pricing ↗
An email marketing platform with webinars, funnels and landing pages built in, which makes it a marketing suite rather than a pure newsletter tool. Paid plans start at £13/mo (Starter); no free plan is published. The ladder we hold runs 3 paid tiers, topping out at £51/mo (Creator). It bills by country — entry €16/mo to a US reader and €16/mo in the eurozone, from our same-day reads. GetResponse prices by list size and charges in your local currency, which makes it look dearer or cheaper than it is depending on where you read about it.
MailerLitesite ↗pricing ↗
A deliberately simple email marketing tool: newsletters, automations, landing pages and forms, aimed at creators and small businesses who want the essentials without a suite around them. Paid plans start at $12/mo (Comfort); a free plan exists. The ladder we hold runs 2 paid tiers, topping out at $25/mo (Power). MailerLite is already the cheap answer in this category, so people leaving it are usually after something it does not do rather than a lower bill.

Where they differ

- Free plans: only MailerLite publishes one — a plan priced at zero, not a trial.
- How far each ladder goes: GetResponse tops out at £51/mo, MailerLite at $25/mo. A deeper ladder is not a worse deal — it is a bill that keeps climbing if you keep growing.
- GetResponse: It bills by country — entry €16/mo to a US reader and €16/mo in the eurozone, from our same-day reads.
How to choose in this category
- Most tools price by list size — a quoted price is only true at a stated subscriber count, so re-check the ladder at yours.
- Free tiers differ in what they cap: subscribers, sends or features. Two ‘free plans’ are rarely the same thing.
- Headline prices are often the annual-billing rate; the pay-monthly figure sits higher.
