Built for SaaS, Not Enterprises

HubSpot is enterprise software. GetResponse is general marketing. Sequenzy is built specifically for SaaS companies with Stripe integration and subscription-aware automation.

Fraction of HubSpot's Price

At $49/month for 10k subscribers, Sequenzy costs 16x less than HubSpot while offering SaaS-specific features like billing event triggers that HubSpot can't match without complex setup.

SaaS-Specific Features

Overview

GetResponse and HubSpot operate in different leagues. GetResponse is an email marketing platform with webinars and funnels at accessible prices. HubSpot is an enterprise marketing, sales, and service platform. See our HubSpot comparison for more details.

The 13x price difference tells the story of their different target markets.

The Price Reality

At 10,000 contacts, GetResponse costs $59/month. HubSpot Marketing Hub Professional starts around $800/month for comparable automation and marketing features.

HubSpot does offer lower tiers and a free CRM, but the marketing automation and features that compete with GetResponse require Professional tier. Annual contracts are often required.

Where GetResponse Wins

Built-in Webinars: GetResponse has native webinar hosting for up to 500 attendees. HubSpot requires external tools like Zoom. For webinar-based marketing, GetResponse is more integrated.

Price: At 13x cheaper, GetResponse is accessible to growing businesses. HubSpot targets enterprises with enterprise budgets.

Conversion Funnels: 30+ ready-made funnel templates. GetResponse is designed for marketers who want to execute without enterprise complexity.

Where HubSpot Wins

CRM Depth: Enterprise-grade with multiple pipelines, forecasting, and deep sales integration. GetResponse's CRM is basic by comparison.

Enterprise Features: Multi-touch attribution, custom objects, advanced reporting, and compliance features for large organizations.

Sales Alignment: Tight integration between marketing and sales teams. This is HubSpot's core strength.

The Different Markets

GetResponse serves growing businesses, coaches, educators, and SMBs who need solid marketing with webinars at reasonable prices.

HubSpot serves enterprises that need a complete business platform with marketing as one component, and have budgets to match.

For SaaS Companies

If you're running a SaaS company and want automation that triggers based on Stripe events, consider Sequenzy at $49/month. It costs a fraction of HubSpot while offering SaaS-specific features neither platform has.
