    GetResponse is launching version 6.0 with 100 new features. The site will be up in 1-2 days with all the new features.

    I'm very excited and I can't wait.

    Watched their video on YouTube, seems exciting. Do you guys know what the other new features will be?

    How does the new GetResponse compare to Aweber?

    They will basically match Aweber.

    One thing that Aweber still has over Getresponse is the fact that aweber tells you what links your list has clicked in the emails.

    Otherwise they are both on par now

    They jacked up their prices to be like Aweber. But also offers a new "survey" feature.

    Their pricing strategy is poor and will go down as one of their biggest mistake in years. Mark that.

    Before it was one price for unlimited subscribers, $17.95. Now it's as follows:

    UP TO 500 $18
    501 - 2,500 $28
    2501 - 5,000 $45
    5,001 - 10,000 $65
    10,001 - 25,000 $145

    It's slightly cheaper than aweber. If I'm a consumer and I have a choice between the 2, save a few bucks or go with the market leader. I would go with the ladder.

    yea, agree, go with aweber since pricing not much changed, sometime i think both companies are working together to raise the price.who knows?

    Personally i also agree getresponder pricing is silly, why give their prime advantage back to aweber?

    As a current GetResponse customer, I advise anyone looking at doing email marketing to definitely go with aweber or at least one of their private label partners.

    During the process of the new GetResponse upgrade not only have all of our web forms stopped working (which means traffic that we're paying for is going to waste) but they won't even offer 24/7 support.

    Stay away from GetResponse (aka NoResponse)!

    FYI, I've just signed up with profollow.com, jeff walker's version of aweber (just the same but better prices).

    They've changed their pricing to be in line with Aweber....they should have kept it cheaper, that was one definite attraction between GetResponse and Aweber.

    I've been seeing a lot of people moving from GP to Aweber these days because of some recent changes. Don't know what they are simply because I don't use GP. Y'll should look into it.

    I wasn't happy with GetResponse's customer service either. So I moved over to Aweber about 6 months ago and I've been quite happy with them. [​IMG]

    I do get a lot of bugs with getresponse. I thought that it's system wide but you have to contact them and then they will fix it for you on an individual basis. Plus their support provides conflicting responses. I got an email saying that the issue is my fault then followed by another email a few hours later saying that the problem was corrected.

    I will look into profollow.com, prices are pretty good for aweber.

    For getresponse.com, their sign up pages and cancel pages have tons of advertising. Does Aweber forms have those too? I do not want to subject my users to those if I am paying for the service.
