Encharge builds email around what somebody actually did inside a software product, reading real product and CRM events into a visual flow builder with branching and waits, from $79 a month billed yearly. GetResponse is built for a creator selling a course or coaching offer instead, bundling email, landing pages, funnels and paid webinars on one bill from $15.58 a month billed yearly. Encharge's own guidance warns off exactly the buyer GetResponse is built for: a creator with a subscriber list and no product events to branch on, paying for machinery that sits idle.

Behaviour-driven email built on a flow editor
Encharge builds email around what somebody did in the product rather than which list they landed on, and the flow editor is where that happens: a visual canvas with branching, waits and conditions instead of a linear sequence. It reads events from the product and from the CRM, which is what makes the branching worth having. Email verification is included rather than billed. This is aimed at a software product with a funnel, so a writer with a subscriber list is paying for machinery they will never open.
Our note
Only buy this if you have product events worth branching on, because that is the entire difference between it and a $9 newsletter tool. If your segmentation is really just tags and signup source, ActiveCampaign or MailerLite will do the same job for a fraction of the price.
Email, automation and webinars on one bill
GetResponse has been sending email since before most of its competitors existed, and it kept adding: landing pages, funnels, paid webinars, an ecommerce push. For a creator selling a course that breadth removes two other subscriptions. It also means the interface carries twenty years of features, and the newer tools feel lighter to use.
Pick Encharge only if there are real product events to branch email on: a software business where a linear sequence keeps emailing people who already converted. Growth is $79 a month billed yearly, or $99 paying monthly, and includes the flow builder and email verification. Its own guidance is blunt that a subscriber list with no product events to read gets nothing from this over a $9 newsletter tool.
Pick GetResponse if the business is a course or coaching offer and the emails, pages and a live webinar should all sit on one bill. Starter is $15.58 a month billed yearly, and Marketer at $48.38 adds the automation builders, both well under Encharge's price for a broader feature set aimed at creators rather than software products. The interface carries twenty years of accumulated features, which shows next to lighter, newer tools.

Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Our note
The webinar tool is the reason to pick this over Kit or MailerLite, and it is worth real money if you run live sessions. If you do not, you are paying for twenty years of features to send email that those two send more pleasantly.
