Our verdict on each
GetResponse
GetResponse suits small businesses that want email campaigns and a small store in the same account, and it lets them try it first. The entry plan starts at €16 a month, and the free plan costs nothing to keep, with a 14 trial on paid plans.
Klaviyo
Klaviyo costs more per list than the transactional senders beside it, and the free tier is small. It suits small businesses that want email and social automation in the same place rather than cheap bulk delivery, with the lower contact tier priced at $30.

GetResponse
What does GetResponse cost to start?+
The entry plan starts at €16 a month. At lower contact counts the price is €16, and at higher counts it rises to €69. A free plan is included, so a shop can look at the product before paying anything.
Is there a free plan, and what does it include?+
Yes, a free plan is included and it runs indefinitely. Free forever: up to 500 contacts, 2500 newsletters per month sets out what it covers, and paid plans add Unlimited monthly email sends. A 14 trial lets a team check the paid features before choosing a tier.
Klaviyo
Does Klaviyo have a free plan?+
Yes. A free plan is listed, and the pricing model here is free plan. The free plan limits stay modest: a small profile allowance, a monthly email cap, and tight budgets for mobile messages and Composer usage. Enough to test flows, not enough for a list that has grown.
What does Klaviyo cost on a smaller contact list?+
On the smaller contact tier the price is $30. Mailjet lists $9 on the same measure, so Klaviyo sits at the dearer end of this group. Budget that gap before the list keeps growing.
