Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the product and billing.

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.

You can use Drip for free for 14 days. Their free trial restricts you from sending unlimited emails, though. If you’re keen to access unlimited email templates, advanced reporting and automation features, we suggest considering Drip alternatives like Mailmodo. Mailmodo has affordable pricing plans.

Drip has a low number of integrations and limited reporting features. If you’re looking for a full-stack email marketing solution to measure campaign metrics such as open rates, click rates, submissions, and bounces using a visual reporting dashboard and get access to A/B testing and exporting analytics data, consider using Drip alternatives like Mailmodo.

Getting the automation feature to work well in Drip requires some practice because it's a complex and cluttered platform. If you’re looking for an intuitive and user-friendly email automation platform, consider using Drip alternatives like Mailmodo. Build custom journeys, use ready-made workflows, and trigger them from anywhere with Mailmodo.
