Overview

Ontraport and GetResponse take different approaches to marketing automation. GetResponse focuses on marketing tools — email, automation, webinars, landing pages, funnels — at an affordable price. Ontraport bundles business operations — CRM, payments, membership sites — alongside marketing. For our take on each, see our Ontraport comparison.

The Webinar Advantage

GetResponse is the only major email platform with built-in webinar hosting. If webinars are part of your sales funnel, this alone could save you $50-100/month on a separate tool. You can run webinars with up to 1,000 attendees, capture leads directly, and nurture them with automated sequences — all in one platform.

The All-in-One Question

Ontraport's advantage is bundling business operations. But at 5x the price of GetResponse, the question is whether CRM, payments, and membership sites are worth $238/month more. For many businesses, GetResponse + a few specialized tools (Stripe, Teachable) costs less than Ontraport alone.

The Sequenzy Alternative

For SaaS founders, Sequenzy offers transactional + marketing email with native Stripe integration at $49/month. Neither Ontraport's course creator focus nor GetResponse's webinar focus applies to subscription businesses.
