The verdict

GetResponse

Best for a larger free tier before you pay

GetResponse's free plan covers 500 contacts and 2,500 newsletters a month, double Mailchimp's 250-contact, 500-send free tier. With 200+ prebuilt templates plus a free landing page, it stretches a no-cost start further. The trade-off: its paid plan opens at $19/mo versus Mailchimp's $13.

Mailchimp

Best for cheapest paid entry and integration breadth

Mailchimp's Essentials plan starts at $13/mo against GetResponse's $19, and its marketplace lists 300+ native integrations versus 170+, including Shopify, WooCommerce, and Square. The catch: its free plan caps at 250 contacts and 500 sends a month, half of GetResponse's free allowance.
