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.
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.

Referral contests that pay out in prizes
UpViral runs the kind of campaign where entrants earn points for sharing a link and the leaderboard decides who wins, which is the fastest way to turn a small list into a larger one. Landing pages, emails and fraud checks all come with it. The trial costs a dollar rather than nothing, and the plans are priced for a business running launches rather than for a one-off giveaway.
Our note
The trial costs a dollar, which is worth knowing before comparing this against the free trials elsewhere in this category. The refund promise is the real risk reversal here, and it is worth reading the terms of before relying on it.
