Understanding the Platforms

GetResponse has evolved over 20+ years from an email tool into an all-in-one marketing platform. They offer email, webinars, landing pages, conversion funnels, website building, SMS, and even online course hosting. It's genuinely impressive breadth.

Sequenzy is a focused email tool built specifically for SaaS founders. We do email—transactional and marketing—with Stripe integration and SaaS-specific automations.

The question is: do you need all those features?

When should you choose Sequenzy?

1. You Just Need Email

If you're not running webinars, don't need landing pages, and won't build conversion funnels, why pay for them? GetResponse's pricing includes features you might never use. Sequenzy gives you email marketing at a lower price.

2. You're a SaaS Company

Sequenzy integrates directly with Stripe and understands SaaS metrics—MRR, churn, subscription status. You can trigger emails based on trial endings, failed payments, and upgrades. GetResponse is a general marketing platform without SaaS-specific features.

3. You Need Transactional Emails

Sequenzy includes transactional emails (password resets, receipts) in all plans. GetResponse charges extra for transactional emails as a separate add-on. If you send both marketing and transactional, we're more cost-effective.

4. You're a Developer

Sequenzy has a modern REST API and supports React Email. GetResponse's API is functional but older, and they don't support building emails as React components.

When should you stick with GetResponse?

1. You Run Webinars

This is GetResponse's killer feature. Built-in webinar hosting with up to 1,000 attendees, automatic registration, reminders, and follow-up sequences. We have zero webinar functionality. If webinars are part of your marketing, GetResponse saves you a separate tool.

2. You Need Landing Pages

GetResponse includes unlimited landing pages with 190+ templates and an AI builder. Their landing pages reportedly convert at 28% vs 19% industry average. We don't have landing pages. You'd need a separate tool like Unbounce or Leadpages.

3. You Want Sales Funnels

GetResponse has a complete conversion funnel builder—lead magnets, sales pages, order forms, upsells. We don't have funnel features. If you're selling digital products or running launches, GetResponse's funnels are valuable.

4. You're a Course Creator

GetResponse can host online courses with their Creator plan. If you sell educational content, it's an all-in-one solution. We don't have course hosting.

5. You Send Massive Volume

GetResponse has unlimited email sends on paid plans. We cap at 300k emails/month on our $49 plan. If you email your full list multiple times per week, GetResponse might be necessary.

  • Transactional costs extra: Need a separate add-on for transactional emails.
  • Not SaaS-specialized: No native Stripe subscription management or MRR tracking.
  • Feature bloat: Many features means more complexity and learning curve.
  • No phone support: GetResponse doesn't offer phone support at any tier.
  • Landing pages are limited: Their builder can't compete with dedicated tools like Unbounce.
  • Duplicate charges: Charges for same contact on multiple lists.
  • Automation limits on lower plans: Need mid-tier or higher for multiple automation workflows.
