Aweber VS Getresponse

aweber VS getresponse

Aweber make a good shocked for all internet entrepreneur by increasing the price for their autoresponder system. This situation will not help internet entrepreneur much since for 500 subscribers we need to pay $19. Sound not much for a big fish, how about me..I’m just a fry fish. Despite the speculation, i believe Getresponse just got itself a new client. The price of Aweber Autoresponder System can be evaluated from here:

Pricing That Fits Your Budget

When it come to autoresponder system, another brand name is Getresponse. Even the people choose to use Aweber compare to Getresponse is 1:50 but this autoresponder system still grow up daily due to it price.

But in term of features and performance, i can bid 99.9% still choose aweber as their autoresponder’s system. Why? Aweber new Analytics software will justifies the price increase, the features is just listed above even most of the features already can be done using the current plan.

~You know who opened your emails,Who clicked your email links,Who went to learn more,Who went to buy,What emails perform best.

~It also picks up where Google analytics leaves us high and dry.It tells us which campaigns and emails perform best,Which messages get the most sales and most unsubscribes,Which sites are adding subscribers,Which subscribers from which sites are the best customers.

Read by yourself here: http://www.aweber.com/blog/new-features/email-analytics-overview.htm

Tom Kulzer, CEO for CEO & Founder for AWeber Communications, Inc already respond toward this issue:-

Current customers on existing plans don’t change prices unless they want access to the new analytics features. These features go far beyond what Google Analytics offers if you review the blog post.

So, most of the beta system user for this new plan very satisfied with the new feature at that “good” price. I feel mixed about this. I like the new features but as pointed out the price scaling is out of wrack. Still not sure if I’ll stay or go yet,but I don’t think I would promote the service to new marketers with that pricing structure. For internet entrepreneur who want some alternative on autoresponder system, you can use Aweber Reseller:

http://www.JVListPro.com
http://www.ProSender.com
http://www.turboautoresponders.com
http://www.pro-response.com
http://www.xmailpro.com/

Most of them is Aweber PL owner, so until now all the price is still the same as the old plan. This is good damn news for internet entrepreneur. Im an old customer of aweber and know how great their service can be and not ready to say goodbye to them. However, I’m also not prepared to except their new pricing, at least not yet.

Only Aweber (I use Profollow, an Aweber reseller with the older, better pricing-model) has easy integration with third-party software like shopping carts (Paypal, Google Checkout, etc.).

Getresponse doesn’t have any third-party software integration. You can verify this in their forums under “feature requests” updated January 2009.

What can we use the integration of Paypal and Aweber for? Insert the Paypal code into email?

But there’s a problem with aweber that can hurt your business. at least I have not find a way around it. Maybe someone here knows the answer. If someone in your list in aweber buys from you, naturally, you’d want to move the subscriber to a new list or tag him so you will send him a different email sequence. With aweber, after the purchase, the subscriber will have to re-opt-in. There’s no reason for a subscriber to re-opt-in just because he bought from you. Some may forget to confirm after the purchase and you will lose a good/buying subscriber….
