Aweber/GetResponse Alternatives?

by 47 replies

Both appear to be moving all their features into their webforms and neglecting HTML <form> codes.

For example, for GetResponse, I can disable the "Already subscribed" message in a webform but I can't do it through HTML.

Are there any autoresponder services that gives me the flexibility to access all features from HTML?

(P.S. I prefer HTML because I can make everything look the way I want and I can hook JS into fields.)

  • I am interested in this answer as well. I am looking for a solid alternative to the big 2.
  • I'd suggest looking at SendPepper, they seem to concentrate more on HTML functionality vs web forms. And I think you are correct in terms of the movement to incorporating in web forms.
  • The only real alternative to Aweber & Getresponse is to have your own server, and run your own autoresponder software.

    Naturally, this is merely an opinion - take it for what it's worth.

  • I prefer to use self hosted autoreponsder. They are more flexibility, more control and much cheaper if you have large list.

    • I'm with GetResponse right now but their lack of flexibility is making me wonder whether there's a better alternative.
  • How about Amazon AWS's SES (simple email service) can help if you know what you're doing.

    • I'm beginning to think that going with any hosted solution like Aweber, GetResponse, etc. will always be less flexible than a self hosting.

      Above, someone recommended Sendy (self-hosted autoresponder script), which integrates into Amazon SES/SNS. I bought a copy and so far, I'm liking the flexibility it gives me.

      My only reservation is that it seems to be a one man shop and the developer doesn't seem to take feedback from his customers very well.

      Thank you for the suggestion.
  • ConstantContact, but I'm not sure about the HTML function.

    • Agree. It's for me the best email marketing software and I've tried many.
    • I've never used MailChimp, but I've heard that they don't like internet marketing user. They will close your account if they know you are doing internet marketing.

      Is is real?

  • GoGvo is the company i use for my autoresponder. The code primary utilize's HTLM for the autoresponder form code
  • I would highly recommend Power Lead System. If you also need landing pages and sales pages, infact complete sales funnels you can build all these within the system.
  • Those two are the best ones, but you do have other alternatives like Mad Mimi, Constant Contact, Mail Chimp,Pinpointe, and others.
