Flodesk vs. GetResponse

If you have a small business and are selling services, products, etc I think Flodesk is fantastic! It's clean, has great design, is easy to use and integrate with other software, and most importantly, it makes setting up marketing funnels and getting paid a breeze!

GetResponse is perfect for small to medium businesses. For a large business, it certainly could be used in some areas. One example would be for clients that are looking to get started with email marketing. I would not expect it to run a business as Salesforce or Keep. However, GetResponse is robust enough and has a solid suite of tools that would serve a medium or small business quite well. And of course, if a company is just looking for an email marketing solution GetResponse would be ideal. And to go even further, depending on the level of service you use, GetResponse has the potential to do things you might have been using separate tools for. Building funnels, the ability to host webinars, building landing pages. It's all there and it is priced very well.

• Email creation—A simple interface and a variety of tools make it easy to create very attractive emails quickly.
• List building—GetResponse is ideal for setting-up and using any number of segmented lists/
• Forms and landing pages—These tools are also fairly strong, however, GetResponse (ironically) does not provide responsive forms for mobile, which I would think would be an urgent problem. They have so far not addressed it.
• Customer support—Customer support via chat and email is strong. It's disappointing the company has pulled the plug on live phone-in support.

Incentivized

• Being able select a link within Flodesk - for instance when setting up a sign up form or waitlist and wanting it to lead directly to the sales page or checkout next.
• Improved brand kit settings where you don't have to reset the font every single time.
• Default footer settings would be amazing!

Incentivized

• The email editor is kind of a nightmare. Elements don't move or behave how you'd expect, the font choices are limited and pretty lame, adding new elements is difficult or often impossible... the whole thing feels 5+ years outdated. Buggy, slow, and extremely limited in functionality.
• The entire UI feels similarly outdated and slow--just seems like GetResponse hasn't kept up with the curve of the market in terms of performance or aesthetics.

As I mentioned before. I believe that the platform is easy to use. Simple and easy process from start to finish. Email efficient and get to the client quickly. Catch errors that would prevent getting to where i need it to go. Overall great experience and would renew without question

I love Flodesk - I think it's very easy to learn/use and unlike most other email software, it's biggest benefit is being able to build sales pages, checkouts, waitlists, etc. in addition to email newsletters.

Excellent general support. However, in case of an escalation, their turnaround time over email (follow through) can go higher

I selected Flodesk because it has the most important features available of the similar products listed but is way more cost-effective and user-friendly. Plus, their designs/aesthetics are great!

Not the top of the heap and certainly far from the bottom. GR is arguably one of the best solutions for Home based or small shops. It is out of the box whereas some of the others are not as complete or more difficult to unpack. It lacks some features but over-delivers on others.

• Flodesk has had an incredibly positive impact on my business by streamlining my email marketing, waitlists and checkouts, and therefore helped my revenue go up!

• Only negative. They cleaned our entire contact list.
• We had to start over with Get Response. Now that they have forcefully freed us, we'll be redownloading our actual customer and prospect list from our CRM.
• They will not refund us. We paid for a year and they gave us 5 months. So we are also out $5,000.
