GetResponse vs Kit
Priced at four list sizes, the features checked against both pricing pages.
Take GetResponse if you want a mature platform with a large ecosystem and email inside the platform that runs everything. Take Kit if you want a creator's newsletter, a free plan you can run on and monetising a newsletter. Kit is cheaper at a small contact count and GetResponse is cheaper by 25,000 contacts, so the answer changes with your size.

- GetResponse lists AI writing and transactional email where Kit does not, which is their own wording rather than something we verified.
No verdict from me yet
I have not used GetResponse or Kit on camera, so everything on this page comes from their own pricing pages, re-read weekly, and nothing from my own experience. When I review either, it will be here.
