What changed
- Freshness sweep: no changes. getresponse.com/pricing still opens at $19/mo for 1,000 contacts. Starter keeps 1 workflow and 3 AI generator uses, Marketer adds unlimited workflows, and Creator adds webinars (100 attendees, 3 hours of recording). Annual billing still saves 18%. Enterprise stays custom and adds SMS, SSO, a dedicated IP and webinars up to 1,000 attendees.
- Freshness sweep: no changes. Starter $19, Marketer $59, Creator $69 monthly at 1,000 contacts, with 18% off on annual billing. Starter still caps the AI email and subject-line generators at 3 uses. The 14-day trial still needs no card.
- Freshness sweep: no changes. Starter $19, Marketer $59, Creator $69, Enterprise custom all hold; annual rates confirmed unchanged too ($15.58/$48.38/$56.58).
- Freshness sweep: no changes. Starter $19, Marketer $59, Creator $69, Enterprise custom all hold.
- Prices hold — Starter $19, Marketer $59, Creator $69, Enterprise custom (annual: $15.58/$48.38/$56.58). Two corrections to our own copy: Creator's course tool is unlimited courses with a 40,000-student ceiling, not "up to 500 students," and Starter's AI generator is capped at 3 uses a month, which we had not said.
- Released to the live stack. Verified pricing was stale and mis-tiered: renamed Email Marketing → Starter ($19), Marketing Automation → Marketer ($59), and replaced Ecommerce Marketing ($119) with the real Creator tier ($69) — webinars moved from the Marketer tier to Creator. Enterprise (MAX) confirmed custom-only.
- Added to the stack (email-automation seat). Seeded from January 2026 baseline; pricing pending fresh verification by the update loop.
