Our verdict
Both platforms target the business owner who wants one tool for everything, but GetResponse simply delivers more of it: funnels, webinars, and automation sit in lower tiers than comparable features at Mailchimp, and prices climb more gently with list size. Mailchimp's strengths (brand recognition, integrations, polished templates) do not outweigh that. GetResponse takes this duel.
“Still a mature platform that connects to almost everything, but the free plan was gutted in early 2026 and prices climb fast with your list. New users are better off starting elsewhere.”Editorial team, on Mailchimp
“More than email alone: funnels, landing pages, and webinars in one package. For business owners who treat email as a sales channel, one of the most complete options at a fair price.”Editorial team, on GetResponse
