Which autoresponder is the best?

    I'm looking for a quality autoresponder with a high email delivery rate and the ability to collect emails and turn them into a list for marketing purposes. Any recommendations?

    Thanks in advance.

    I use and really like AWeber, but hear that GetResponse is a real good one too.

    If you are creating lists, use the big boys ;)

    Trafficwave eh, alright. How does the email work? Do you provide the email address? Let's say I post an ad on craigslist and then somebody responds to the craigslist ad. Is it possible to respond to the person at a specified time or does it respond right away? When my list gets an email does it look like or can it look like anything I want?

    Choose Aweber. You can't go wrong with it. Otherwise, choose Getresponse, 2nd best autoresponder on the market for me.

    AWeber provides the most useful tools for keeping tracks of the mailing list but I haven't yet tried the guy's service above. It'd be something cool to look into, it looks promising.

    I got started by hosting my own autoresponder using a script,
    but then got problems with my host, so I decided to outsource
    and tried emailaces. Been with them for years, but then for reasons
    I dont want to mention, I switched to Aweber, and all I can say,
    their service is superb, and I'm a very satisfied customer.

    Aweber is the best but it's more expensive than others

    Here's My Autoresponder Service Review (Aweber & GetResponse)

    Aweber and GetResponse are two of the most popular AutoResponder service in the market today. Whether you doing traditional business, online business or affiliate marketing, using a autoresponder service to follow up with your customers is a must have strategy.

    Aweber AutoResponder

    Aweber AutoResponder was founded in 1998 and is now one of the top autoresponder service provider on the internet today. They have helped small businesses automate email follow up and newsletter delivery for website visitors and now serviced over 43,000 satisfied customers.

    GetResponse AutoResponder

    GetResponse AutoResponder was started in 1998 and since have over 500,000 accounts opened. GetResponse's easy-to-use and web-based email interface can help businesses build their permission-based mailing lists, maximize conversion ratios and build customer confidence.

    Aweber Vs GetResponse - Pricing

    Aweber pricing plan is based on the number of subscribers you have on your list. The Aweber pricing plan starts from $19/mth for 0-500 subscribers and increases accordingly with the number of subscribers on your list. (the more subscribers you have, the more you pay)

    Aweber Pricing Plan
    0 - 500 $19/mth or $193.80/year($16.15/mth)
    501 - 2,500 $29/mth
    2,501 - 5,000 $49/mth
    5,001 - 10,000 $69/mth
    10,001 - 25,000 $149/mth


    GetResponse charges a flat rate of $17.95 per month regardless of the number of subscribers you have. GetResponse even have a pricing structure which offer you more discount if you opt for quarterly, half-yearly or yearly paid instead of the standard monthly paid subscription.

    GetResponse Pricing Plan
    GetResponse BRONZE $17.95 a month (regular rate)
    GetResponse SILVER $47.85 quarterly ($15.95/mth)
    GetResponse GOLD $87.70 for 6 month ($14.62/mth)
    GetResponse PLATINUM $145.40 for 1 year ($12.12/mth)


    Comparing the pricing plan for both Aweber and GetResponse, you can see that if you have a large number of subscribers, using GetResponse instead of Aweber will save you a significant amount of money per month. Well, its up to you to make your best choice... :)

    Between the "Big Two" Getresponse wins hands down.

    But there are many cheaper ones that work just as well.
