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.

Mailmodo is the best alternative to Elastic Email because it has user-friendly email design features, manages your deliverability to boost your inbox placement rate, and provides 24/7 email, phone, and customer support.

Elastic Email is good for businesses looking to do email marketing on a small scale. At a large scale, however, the tool has shown deliverability issues. For boosting your inbox placement rate, consider using Elastic Email alternatives like Mailmodo to get a dedicated IP server and 1-on-1 consultation with a deliverability expert.

Mailmodo is far more superior than Elastic Email in terms of deliverability. The former offers warmed up domain and tools to authenticate your emails to boost your inbox placement rate.
