Nutshell Campaigns stands above GetResponse for its:
GetResponse is an email marketing platform that offers features like email marketing, a website builder, landing pages, and more.
Nutshell Campaigns is the email marketing add-on for Nutshell, the all-in-one CRM that helps businesses close more deals. Nutshell Campaigns connects seamlessly to your CRM data to help you connect with customers at every stage of the funnel.

Want to get more of your marketing team in your CRM and email marketing platform, but don’t want to pay for an entire CRM seat? If you have Nutshell Pro or above, you get three marketing-only seats in Nutshell—for absolutely free!
When searching for an email marketing platform to help your business close more deals, GetResponse might have come up. GetResponse offers a few good email marketing features. But without sales integration, advanced marketing automation, or features like customizable web forms and free custom domains, can GetResponse really get you the response you’re looking for?
Nutshell Campaigns is the GetResponse alternative that provides a single platform where you can send out optimized email campaigns, design and launch landing pages and web forms, and manage your customer relationships.
And Nutshell Campaigns customers get all of our advanced email marketing features, including multi-email drip sequences, advanced automation, and our AI writing assistant.
Take a look at these two email marketing platforms to see why Nutshell Campaigns comes out on top.
Knowing what messaging to use to push your email subscribers toward a sale is incredibly important for optimizing your marketing strategy. And your messaging all depends on where that subscriber is in your sales funnel.
Nutshell Campaigns works seamlessly with Nutshell, so you can easily create marketing audiences from your CRM contacts based on any combination of attributes. Send automated email drip sequences to reach out to new leads, target lost customers with a win-back campaign, and more—then let Nutshell Campaigns handle the sending.
Need to see how your marketing emails impact your leads? Since Nutshell Campaigns is built directly into Nutshell, you can go to your Lead timelines to see who opened an email and how many times, plus what links they clicked—so you see exactly how your marketing efforts help drive sales.
GetResponse won’t provide the same level of sales integration. Sure, you could connect it to a CRM—but then you’re just juggling another subscription.
GetResponse reserves automation features like the ability to build email drip sequences, trigger automated emails based on events, and create dynamic audience segments for their higher-paying plans.
Nutshell Campaigns enables email marketing automation for all—so you can run more efficiently, no matter your company’s size or budget. Easily create marketing audiences that update dynamically, trigger automatic drip sequences once a contact meets your criteria, and send personal email sequences based on where leads are in your pipeline.
When people visit your website, it’s a good sign they’re interested in buying what you’re selling. Reaching out to these visitors is critical to your business’s success. And embedding web forms on your site is a great way to collect their information so you can reach out.
Nutshell lets you create customized web forms to embed on any page of your website, including newsletter signup, contact, and content download forms, or start from scratch. And since Nutshell Campaigns works seamlessly with Nutshell, the information visitors submit by form syncs instantly with your CRM data.
Plus, you can easily embed Nutshell forms on any page of the website your business already has.
But GetResponse only lets you create contact forms and signup forms, which you have to create on a website you built using—you guessed it—GetResponse. And you’re only reaching part of your marketing potential if you’re limited in how website visitors can reach out to you.
Connecting a custom domain to your email marketing tool improves email deliverability and enhances your brand reputation. Whether you’re linking to pages on your site in your email newsletters or creating landing pages, being able to connect your custom domain is a big deal.
Nutshell Campaigns lets you connect your custom domains in just a few clicks. You can add one or multiple domains—there are no limits. And it’s totally free, whether you’re paying for 100 contacts or 1 million.
But GetResponse? They only allow customers paying on a 12-month or 24-month billing cycle to register one domain for free—but only for one year, at which point an unspecified fee applies.
The lack of advanced email marketing features aside, GetResponse plans are reasonably priced—unless your business has more than 100,000 subscribers. Then you have no choice but to pay for the GetResponse MAX plan, which starts at $1,099 a month.
GetResponse also charges sneaky monthly overage fees if your contact list exceeds your plan’s limit. These fees can add up quickly, and you could end up paying hundreds of dollars more than you planned.
Nutshell Campaigns vs the 5 tiers of GetResponse (updated February 2024)
Nutshell Campaigns is an affordable and scalable option that includes all of our features, whether you’re paying for our minimum contact level ($5/mo for 100 contacts), our maximum contact level listed ($3,985/mo for 1 million contacts), anything in between or anything custom above 1 million.
We keep it simple with one plan. GetResponse has 5 plans to sift through.
Nutshell’s pricing is based the number of marketing contacts you have—It’s that simple. GetResponse offers starting pricing for different features and then increases your price based on the number of contacts.
Since Nutshell’s pricing is based on your total number of contacts, you can always calculate what your monthly costs are going to be. GetResponse charges monthly overage fees when your contacts exceed your plan’s limits, no matter whether you’re on a monthly or yearly subscription, and these charges can be difficult to calculate.
How many logins your email marketing provider allows for in the plan. For Nutshell, there is no extra cost to grant someone in your CRM access to Nutshell Campaigns.

Some email providers will impose a limit of how many contacts you can have in your plan—Nutshell doesn’t.
Most email marketing providers will have a limit on how many emails you can send through the platform over a month. For Nutshell, you can send 8 times as many emails than you have contacts. 500 contacts would mean a limit of 4,000 emails/month.
Since Nutshell Campaigns works seamlessly with Nutshell, you can access all your contact, lead, and sales information from a single platform to see how your marketing efforts translate into sales. GetResponse offers limited lead tracking features but doesn’t work natively with a fully functioning CRM.
Nutshell Campaigns gives all customers the power to automate targeted, multi-email campaigns based on contacts’ behavior. GetResponse only allows customers on its higher plans to use automation and triggers in their email marketing.
Nutshell Campaigns customers can also automate personal email sequences that will start and stop sending based on where your leads are in your sales pipeline. GetResponse limits the automation features for customers on their lower plans.
Nutshell lets you create customized web forms for any kind of conversion, from newsletter signups to contact forms and content downloads. GetResponse only allows customers to create contact and signup forms.
Easily set up custom domains in Nutshell to improve email deliverability and enhance brand recognition. Nutshell lets you add unlimited custom domains. GetResponse makes you pay to connect your custom domain after one year.
Not only does Nutshell Campaigns offer click-tracking, but you can even get notified when someone clicks on the link, giving you up-to-the-minute insight into subscriber engagement.
Audiences are essential to any email marketing strategy. The more audiences you have the better your ability to segment your lists of contacts to get the right message to the right person. If you have a diverse customer/contact list, anything under 5 is worrisome.
You can use Tags to quickly group contacts together to create an Audience. An example would be if you wanted to reach out to everyone who attended a specific trade show. Add the tag “August 2023 Trade Show” and you can easily find every contact with that tag right in Nutshell.
Some email providers will force you to add their logo to your emails unless you are over a certain monthly spend—not Nutshell Campaigns.
Nutshell Campaigns lets you preview your emails on desktop and mobile. You can also preview how your emails would look in dark mode.
The ability to harness the power of AI to help you write your email content.
Most email marketing providers will offer reporting on deliverability, open rate, click rate and click tracking. Nutshell can also notify a specific team member in your CRM if a certain link is clicked!
These allow you to compare statistics from the same campaign over time. For Nutshell, we offer this type of reporting for your Newsletters.
Nutshell Campaigns offers A/B testing, where you can test email subject lines, preview text, content, and design—plus control how Nutshell tests the success of your campaigns.
Allows you to choose a later time or date to send out a marketing email.
The Nutshell Landing Pages add-on empowers your team to create custom landing pages to engage visitors and generate conversions. Plus, Landing Pages syncs with Nutshell Forms and Nutshell Scheduler, so you can seamlessly collect visitor information, schedule meetings, and access all that data from your CRM.
These are important to know more about the people your sending emails to. With Nutshell being a CRM, you’re all set to use your customer data in Campaigns!
