Billing

Email platforms price by list size, and the price moves in steps. The calculator finds the step your list falls into and shows the cost for a full year.

How to read the result

  • Price tier is the smallest tier that covers your subscriber count. A list of 5,001 pays the price of the next tier up, not the 5,000 price.
  • Yearly billing shows the amount charged once for a 12-month plan. Monthly billing shows the monthly price, and the yearly figure is that price times 12.
  • The line under each tier shows the list size at which the next tier starts and what that tier costs.
  • The difference per year is measured against the lowest listed price for your list size.
  • All prices are in US dollars, before tax. MailerLite and GetResponse state that tax is added where it applies.

The table compares price only. Plans at a similar price do not include the same features. For example, MailerLite Comfort includes 50 automations and GetResponse Starter includes one custom automation workflow. Check the plan pages for the features you need.

Where the cheaper plan changes

On monthly billing, the lower-priced entry plan is not the same at every list size.

The 12,000 row shows the effect of tier width. MailerLite has a tier that ends at 15,000. GetResponse goes from 10,000 straight to 25,000, so a list of 12,000 pays the 25,000 price.
