Autoresponders: AWeber or GetResponse?

    I know both offer a pretty good service - GetResponce is slightly cheaper, but AWeber is more well-known.

    What do you guys recommend?

    I'm more interested in the backend and the interface being easy to use - so I'm interested to here from those currently using both.

    Thanks guys,

    Cheers,
    Martin

    I used getresponse in the past but I signed up to Aweber last week for my new project and it's the nuts - interface is very simple and un-complicated. From what I remember of getresponse, this was far from the case.

    I'd go with Aweber.

    AWeber. They make sure your mail arrives. Well at least they try harder than the others.

    I haved used both, but prefer Aweber. And as Bali stated, they have a pretty decent deliverability rate.

    Ive had good experiences with Aweber, never used Getresponse but I know both of these services are on par with each other as the best in the business.

    I think for the newbie should go for get response. Not because it is slightly cheaper but a newbie should learn the basic before aweber.

    personally i am using GetResponse.com..just my feel

    Are there any services that don't require a credit card for payment? I don't
    have one, and have no desire to get one (a card that is..)

    Aweber's Customer Service is always 100% too - they even have live staff on Saturadays now!

    Thanks guys - looks like it's AWeber.

    I tested AWeber's support. The automated response to my query was they'll get back to me the next business day, yet it came within 30 minutes - impressive.


    WillB - maybe send a support question to AWeber - it can't hurt.

    Both are comparable. I've tried both but eventually went with GetResponse and have been happy. It's very easy to use. I wrote a review of both of them on my blog at http://iwantpennies.blogspot.com if you are interested.

    I started with Aweber and have had no reason to switch to anyone else.

    What if I'd like to also support french email prospects? aweber answered me that they don't support french, that I can change any editable text (emails are sent with english charset however) but I can't change any non-editable text.

    I don't know about getresponse, but there's a comparaison chart:
    http://www.getresponse.com/comparison.html

    where aweber is competitor 1, it seems there's more TICKS for getresponse than competitor 1 on this chart, of course it's made by getresponse, but I haven't find the same on aweber and I wonder if getresponse would be better for supporting other languages?
