When to Consider Sequenzy Instead

Built for SaaS, Not General Marketing

Both GetResponse and Brevo are general marketing tools. Neither understands software subscriptions. Sequenzy integrates with Stripe for subscription-aware automation that triggers on billing events.

Better Value for SaaS

At $49/month for 10k subscribers, Sequenzy costs less than GetResponse while offering SaaS-specific features. Brevo is cheaper but lacks Stripe integration entirely.

Transactional + Marketing Unified

Like Brevo, Sequenzy combines transactional and marketing email in one platform. GetResponse treats transactional email separately.

Overview

GetResponse and Brevo take different approaches to email marketing. GetResponse evolved into an all-in-one platform with unique webinar hosting. Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) focuses on affordable multichannel marketing. See our Brevo comparison for more details.

The choice comes down to whether you need GetResponse's webinars or Brevo's value.

The Core Difference

GetResponse is one of the few email marketing platforms with native webinar hosting. You can run live webinars, create evergreen funnels, and monetize with paid events. This is genuinely unique and valuable for educators, coaches, and B2B marketers.

Brevo takes the opposite approach. No webinars, but you get SMS, WhatsApp, and live chat included at a price that's hard to beat. For multichannel marketing on a budget, Brevo is compelling.

Pricing: $59 vs $25 at 10K

At 10,000 contacts, GetResponse costs $59/month with unlimited email sends. Brevo costs $25/month for 20,000 emails with unlimited contacts.

Brevo's per-email pricing with unlimited contacts can save significant money for large lists. GetResponse's unlimited sends benefit frequent senders to smaller lists. Calculate your actual sending patterns.

Where GetResponse Wins

Built-in Webinars: This is GetResponse's killer feature. Run live webinars for up to 500 attendees, create on-demand recordings, and accept payments for webinar access. No other major email platform offers this.

Conversion Funnels: 30+ templates for lead generation, sales, and webinar registration. More sophisticated than Brevo's basic customer journeys.

Landing Pages: AI-powered landing page builder with A/B testing. GetResponse takes landing pages more seriously than Brevo.

Where Brevo Wins

Price: At $25/month for 10k contacts, Brevo is less than half the cost of GetResponse. For budget-conscious businesses, this matters.

Multichannel: Native SMS, WhatsApp, and live chat. GetResponse has SMS as an add-on and no WhatsApp. Brevo is more comprehensive for multichannel.

Transactional Email: Built into the main platform. GetResponse treats transactional email separately.

For SaaS Companies

Neither GetResponse nor Brevo is built for SaaS. Both are general marketing tools without subscription billing awareness.

If you're running a SaaS company and want automation that triggers based on Stripe events, consider Sequenzy. It offers SaaS-specific features at $49/month that neither GetResponse nor Brevo can match.
