Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the product and billing.

You can create an account for free to try Campaign Monitor and send an email campaign to five contacts. If you exceed the contact limit, you will have to buy the paid plan starting from $9/month, where you can send emails to 500 contacts. For a more affordable alternative, you can consider using Mailmodo.

Campaign Monitor is not HIPAA compliant. Although they’ve signed a Business Associate Agreement (BAA), Campaign Monitor won't allow you to utilize their service to send emails containing Protected Health Information (PHI). If you’re looking for a HIPAA compliant ESP, consider using Mailmodo.

Subscribers have frequently expressed frustration with Campaign Monitor for its high spam rates and occasionally blocked servers. Use Mailmodo if you want a higher deliverability rate. We assist clients with domain warming, stop spammers, and provide advice on increasing deliverability rates.

With Getresponse, you can send unlimited newsletters to 500 contacts free of cost. It also lets you connect your domain during the 30-day free trial. But without domain warmup and tracking analytics, this free trial is quite limiting for small businesses. A better alternative would be to sign up with Mailmodo. Besides unlimited templates and campaigns, it also provides you the complete analytics suite. Track opens, clicks, bounce, submissions, and unsubscribes at no cost.

If you're an individual looking to start a newsletter, then Getresponse is a suitable email marketing platform for you. During the 30-day free trial, you can experiment using the drag-and-drop creator and predesigned email templates. But if you're a small business looking to kickstart email marketing, use other Getresponse alternatives. Mailmodo, for example, lets you track your emails, improve your deliverability, and warm up your domain to help you get more opens, clicks, and subscribes.

Emails from GetResponse are known to land in the Promotions tab in the user's inbox. Besides, its limited pricing plans and poor deliverability encourage users to look for alternatives. Email marketing platforms like Mailmodo offer expert deliverability consultation to ensure your emails reach your customers' inboxes every time. Tap into the Mailmodo SMTP, that’s consistently warmed up for higher email deliverability.
