Why businesses switch from GetResponse

Most GetResponse customers hit one of these four walls, usually all four.

When customers tell us why they finally moved, the answers cluster around the same handful of things. Recognize any of these?

01

Feature bloat distracts from sending email.

GetResponse bundles webinars, paid ads, conversion funnels, popup builders, and AI website generators into one product. If you signed up to send email, you're paying for an entire marketing stack you didn't ask for - and the dashboard reflects it.

Mailsoftly: email + automation, clean and focused
02

Pricing scales aggressively past 5K.

GetResponse Marketer at 5K is $99/mo. At 10K it's roughly $169. At 25K it's $349. The features you actually use don't change at those tiers - only the contact-count multiplier does. The bigger you grow, the worse the per-contact cost.

Mailsoftly: Premium $199/mo flat at 30K
03

Webinar and funnel features push you up tiers you never wanted.

Want abandoned-cart automation? Marketer tier. Need contact scoring? Marketer. Webinars cost extra on top. Premium-tier features are gated behind upgrades that primarily exist to package non-email tools you don't use.

Mailsoftly: every plan includes the email features
04

Migration is on you, not on them.

GetResponse offers an import tool but no hands-on migration support unless you commit to enterprise pricing. List re-tagging, automation rebuild, deliverability check, and DKIM setup are your problem - and your downtime risk.

Mailsoftly: free hands-on migration on a Zoom call
Mailsoftly fixes these without bundling features you don't use.

Why teams switch - and stay

They left for the savings. They stayed for the support.

Real customers, in their own words. Businesses leave GetResponse to escape rising costs and limited automation. They stay with Mailsoftly for real human support, better segmentation, and pricing that scales without surprises.

Mailsoftly is a great platform for email marketing for small and medium sized businesses that are looking to get more emails delivered to their subscribers' inboxes.

Very helpful and supportive team. The application is great, and offers a lot of tools and data that helped me understand and expand my reachout with my newsletters. Great team, highly recommended.

I am extremely pleased with this service. I was using another platform previously and in comparison this is a much better service at a lower cost. The customer service has been top notch - quick & effective. Things were done promptly and with great care. I could not recommend their services more.

Common questions about switching

Real questions, plainly answered.

Will I lose my GetResponse tags, audiences, or segments when I switch?

No. We safely import your GetResponse contacts, lists, tags, custom fields, autoresponders, and templates. Your existing GetResponse account stays untouched until you tell us you're ready to cut over - so there's zero risk of data loss in the middle of the move.

How long does the migration take?

Most SMB accounts are live and sending in 1-2 hours, on a single Zoom call. We start with a 30-minute scoping segment, then our team handles imports, template rebuilds, automation recreation, and domain authentication while you watch. We send your first campaign together at the end of the call. Complex multi-step automations may need a follow-up session, and domain warm-up continues in the background over the next 7-10 days.

Do I need any technical setup myself?

No. We help you authenticate your sending domain (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and walk you through your first campaign. For most common domain registrars, we can apply the records for you. If you have an in-house IT team, we'll send them clean instructions instead.

Is the migration really free, even for large lists?

Yes - free for any list size. We don't gate it behind a tier or charge a setup fee. Whether you're moving 800 contacts or 80,000, our migration team handles the move at no cost. The only thing you pay for is the monthly plan once you've switched over.

What about my automations and welcome series?

Our team recreates your existing automations step-for-step inside Mailsoftly - welcome series, behavior-based flows, tag rules, and segments. We walk you through each one before anything goes live, so nothing surprises your subscribers. Done by a person on our team, not handed off to a script.

Is there a contract or annual commitment?

No contract required. Pay monthly, cancel anytime. If you'd rather pay annually, you'll save about 20% - but it's optional, never required. We don't believe in trapping people who would rather leave.

What if my list grows? Will the price keep jumping?

Pricing is published transparently on the pricing page for every tier from 500 contacts up to 30,000. Above 30,000, we offer custom pricing on the same Mailsoftly product - no upsell to a different tier with extra "enterprise" features you don't need. You'll always know what next month costs.

Ready to leave GetResponse? Let's make it easy.

Start free, or let our team migrate your account for you. No contracts, no surprise price jumps, no ticket queues. Just a real human and a calmer inbox.
