SendPulse vs GetResponse

Multi-channel with chatbots vs all-in-one with webinars

TL;DR

Key Differences

The main things that set these tools apart

Webinars
GetResponse wins

GetResponse includes a built-in webinar platform. No other email marketing tool at this price point offers webinars. For businesses using webinars for lead generation or sales, this alone could justify GetResponse.

Chatbots
SendPulse wins

SendPulse has chatbot builders for WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, Instagram, and Viber. GetResponse doesn't offer chatbots. For messaging automation, SendPulse is the only option.

Price
GetResponse wins

GetResponse is $65.60/month vs SendPulse's $96/month at 10k subscribers. GetResponse is significantly cheaper for email marketing, though SendPulse includes chatbots.

E-commerce
GetResponse wins

GetResponse has product recommendations, abandoned cart recovery, and e-commerce integrations. SendPulse doesn't focus on e-commerce. For online stores, GetResponse is better.

Overview

SendPulse and GetResponse are mid-market marketing platforms with different specialties. For our take on each, see our SendPulse comparison and GetResponse comparison.

GetResponse's Webinar Advantage

GetResponse is the only email marketing platform in its price range with built-in webinars. Host live or on-demand webinars, capture leads, and follow up with automated email sequences. If webinars are part of your marketing strategy, GetResponse is uniquely valuable.

SendPulse's Messaging Channels

SendPulse covers chatbots for five messaging platforms. Build automated flows for WhatsApp, Telegram, and Instagram without code. GetResponse can't match this messaging reach. If your audience lives on messaging apps, SendPulse is the better tool.

The Sequenzy Alternative

For SaaS founders who don't need webinars or chatbots, Sequenzy combines transactional email and marketing campaigns with Stripe integration at $49/month.
