The verdict

GetResponse

Best for trying before paying and for landing pages

GetResponse offers a free plan (up to 500 contacts, 2,500 newsletters/mo), then starts at $19/mo for 1,000 contacts. It also adds landing pages and transactional email (API/SMTP, MAX add-on), neither of which Constant Contact lists here. Both share the drag-and-drop builder, A/B testing, automation, segmentation, and ecommerce.

Constant Contact

Best for a bundled SMS allotment with email

Constant Contact bundles SMS into its Premium plan (500 messages included), with an add-on from $10/mo on lower tiers; GetResponse limits SMS to MAX plans. It matches GetResponse on the drag-and-drop builder, templates, A/B testing, AI content, automation, and ecommerce. Note: no free plan, and transactional email is not offered.
