Overview
GetResponse and Drip serve different markets at very different price points. GetResponse is an all-in-one marketing platform with unique webinar hosting. Drip focuses on sophisticated e-commerce automation for serious online stores. See our Drip comparison for more details.
The choice depends on your business type and budget.
The Core Difference
GetResponse has evolved into a full marketing platform with webinars, conversion funnels, and AI tools. It works for various business types and offers strong value.
Drip is built for e-commerce. Sophisticated automation, deep Shopify integration, and Liquid templating for personalized campaigns. It's designed for online stores where email drives significant revenue.
Pricing: $59 vs $154 at 10K
At 10,000 contacts, GetResponse costs $59/month with unlimited sends. Drip costs $154/month with all features included.
GetResponse is about 60% cheaper. But these tools serve different purposes. Drip's premium pricing is justified if you're running a serious e-commerce operation where the automation sophistication drives measurable ROI.
Where GetResponse Wins
Built-in Webinars: This is GetResponse's killer feature. Run live webinars, create evergreen funnels, accept payments. Drip has nothing comparable.
Price: Dramatically cheaper with strong features for general marketing.
Conversion Funnels: 30+ templates for lead generation and sales. Useful for service businesses and coaches.
Landing Pages: AI-powered landing page builder. Drip's landing pages are basic.
Where Drip Wins
E-commerce Automation: More sophisticated workflows with advanced conditional logic and Liquid templating. Designed for complex e-commerce campaigns.
Revenue Attribution: Detailed tracking of how email drives store revenue. Essential for e-commerce ROI calculations.
Shopify Depth: Deep integration designed for serious online stores.
For SaaS Companies
Neither GetResponse nor Drip is built for SaaS. GetResponse is general marketing. Drip is e-commerce.
If you're selling software subscriptions, consider Sequenzy. Stripe integration, trial conversion automation, and churn prevention at $49/month.
