GetResponse: Email marketing platform

Last verified Aug 27, 2026

GetResponse is an Email marketing platform founded in 1998, headquartered in Poland. Starting at €16/mo, it targets creators who run paid webinars from the same tool that sends their email. Our verdict: Runs its own networks, AS198881 and AS46469, and delivers 90.9 percent. Watch for: Capterra ease 4.0 and service 4.0, the lowest sub-scores on the site. Rated 6.1/10 overall across ease of use, deliverability, and pricing value.

What is GetResponse?

GetResponse began in 1998 as an autoresponder script Simon Grabowski wrote in Gdansk for his own business, and it has never taken outside investment. The company traded as Implix until 1 October 2014, and converted to a joint-stock company in February 2022 to run an employee share plan.

It operates its own networks on both sides of the Atlantic, AS198881 in Poland and AS46469 in the United States. The distinctive part is a webinar room built into the email platform rather than integrated from outside: up to 100 live attendees on the Creator plan, and webinars you can charge for. Transactional email stays behind the Enterprise (MAX) tier as a paid add-on.
