AWeber vs GetResponse Comparison

I like the ease of use and the high customizability of how my emails look while being compliant at the same time.

It's pricey. There are cheaper alternatives like Getresponse or Mailchimp.

Aweber is the first EMS I ever used. They offer an excellent service at reasonable rates with lots of great features. They also offer discounts if you pay quarterly or annually which is helpful if you hate monthly charges. It's pretty easy to import your list to Aweber, they offer phone, email and chat support, they have a wide variety of responsive email templates, list segmentation, some decent integrations and basic marketing automation.

Split testing doesn't seem to be available currently which is isn't ideal. If you need this feature I suggest GetResponse. I also think MailChimp and GetResponse provide superior reporting options.

I've used Aweber since 2014, and i've NEVER had an issue with them. Sure, they have downtime just like every other autoresponder a couple times per year, but it's always fixed really quickly. The deliverability is awesome, it's extremely easy to use and their customer is support is insanely responsive. I have had to do a few minor changes to my account every now and then, I kid you not, they have taken care of my issues usually within 2-3 minutes of me opening up the chat (which is now open 24/7)

I've heard that if you open a new account with Aweber now, you need to use their service for around a month using double optin, which could be annoying. When I set my account up several years ago, I didn't have to do that. So if you're planning on running paid ads etc right away, that might be an issue for you. If not, Aweber is awesome and i'm sure you'll love it.

Hi Jonas, Thanks so much for your feedback! We really appreciate it. I wanted to quickly clarify that, generally speaking, we don't require new customers to use double opt-in after signing up for an account. Please let us know if you have any questions or need any help with your account. Brandon O.

What I liked most about AWeber is that it provides an easy-to-use interface that gives you a good amount of design flexibility. AWeber is a cost effective tool for small businesses. It allows you to send 3000 emails per month for free, this makes it perfect for beginners who are just getting started with email marketing. With AWeber no matter how many subscribers you have, you'll always have access to the full features of the tool. There is a cool feature in AWeber when you're creating newsletters called keep my content checkbox, where your content is saved. This feature is not available In other tools where your content is overriden as soon you switch templates.

The free plan offers limited features such as the list building feature where youre allowed only one list. If you want to manage more lists, it becomes expensive quickly. Generally the quality of the features that you get when you upgrade to the pro plan are not worth it.

I liked the simplicity I like that it was easy to use I like the quality of email deliverability I like the price when it is still small size list, affordable for newbie

As an affiliate marketer, I was using AWeber. I was sending affiliate links periodically to my list. It was all good for a few months, until one day I discovered my account was suspended. Unfortunately, at the time I had paid marketing campaign and my follow up emails were going out. I only found out 2-3 days later. It took 11 days to have the support get back to me and restore my account. By that stage, I moved everything to GetResponse because of the poor support.

It has Landing Pages, More Contacts and $4 cheaper than AWeber alone. I love AWeber too but GetResponse has taught me a great deal and it is working better professionally and financially!

Close at 5 pm Eastern, and Closed on Weekends for Phone Support...They do provide Online Chat Support in their closed hours!

Me encanta poder segmentar automáticamente por comportamiento de los usuarios y a partir de eso realizar anuncios y ofertas en base a sus interacciones. Diseñar anuncios en redes sociales es cuestión de soltar y arrastrar ¡facilita un montón de tiempo y trabajo! es de las características que más destaco de GetResponse.

Agradezco mucho que tanto la web como la atención al cliente esté en español, algo que con Aweber no se tiene.

As a solopreneur, GetResponse delivers what I need at an acceptable price point, and provides responsive service. The HTML email builder is easy to use, drag-and-drop, and comes with many usable designs.

I'm not in love with the basic interface, which is OK, but clunky. While the API is available, few other providers seem to integrate with the system - unlike Mailchimp or Aweber, which seem to integrate with everybody.

I loved the fact that I was able to get up and running so quickly. You can easily integrate it with other software. Literally with a few clicks of a button.

When I first signed up I had to contact support because it wouldn't load up. This was because my cache needed cleared. Support were very quick to rectify the problem and very helpful.

Comprehensive and functional at a reasonable price.

Importing lists being rejected - without identifying the problem items.

I can have many lists but the way they are organized is very difficult to keep track of, I observed that my list name is visible to my recipients which doesn’t make me happy about it. It offers unlimited landing pages but as there is only one sales funnel in the basic plan it is very limiting. I found GetResponse UI very complicated to use when compared to mailchimp and aweber.

I had login issues in my GetResponse account which remained unresolved for over a month, even though I was having regular support chats with their team.
