GetResponse Starter vs Marketer vs Creator: The Price of Each Step by List Size
What GetResponse's three self-serve plans cost at each list size, how much each step up adds per month and per year, and what the pricing page lists as the difference.
GetResponse sells three self-serve plans. All three list unlimited monthly sends, so the choice is about features, not volume. This page prices each step.

What each step adds
| Subscribers (up to) | Starter to Marketer, per month | Per year | Marketer to Creator, per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,000 | $40 | $480 | $10 |
| 2,500 | $40 | $480 | $10 |
| 5,000 | $41 | $492 | $14 |

| 50,000 | $60 | $720 | $55 |
The step from Starter to Marketer costs about the same in dollars at every list size up to 25,000: between $35 and $41 per month. That makes it a large jump for a small list and a small one for a big list. At 1,000 subscribers Marketer costs about three times as much as Starter. At 25,000 it costs about 24% more.
The step from Marketer to Creator starts at $10 per month and grows with the list.
When the automation limit decides it
Starter includes one custom automation workflow. A business that needs a second workflow, or abandoned cart emails, pays the Marketer step. At 5,000 subscribers that is $95 instead of $54.
Other providers put the limit elsewhere. MailerLite Comfort includes 50 automations at $49 for 5,000 subscribers, with a monthly sending cap. AWeber Lite includes 3 automations at $60.
