Brevo vs GetResponse: Which is a better fit?

Cristina C.: Hi, I'm Cristina. I'm an owner manager. I give Sendinblue a three out of five. For more reviews like this, click the link below. Before Sendinblue, I was using Klaviyo. However, Klaviyo seemed to me to be too large of a CRM, too robust, too complex. I needed to simplify, so I chose Sendinblue, which was an easier, smaller to manage CRM. The other reason was the costs involved with Klaviyo. As a solopreneur, I was looking for something that was more affordable. I chose Sendinblue because I needed something that was a little bit more simple and less complex to use for a solopreneur. I also wanted something that was more affordable as a solopreneur, so I chose Sendinblue. Getting started with Sendinblue was quite a large learning curve. Even though it seemed like the simplest CRM, the learning curve in getting it attached to my website was quite steep. The customer service also was a little bit lacking in getting it set up. If you're thinking about switching over to Sendinblue as your CRM, be prepared for a learning curve. I would advise to jump on the website, have a look through the Sendinblue Academy, and then get in touch with your host and just see what exactly you need to do to set it up and integrate it with your website and your [inaudible 00:01:34] commerce, or whichever commerce you are using.

Rebecca: Hi, my name's Rebecca. I'm the owner of Becca Finance and I give GetResponse a five. I actually moved to GetResponse from MailChimp and I did that because MailChimp just didn't have the ease of use. There was a lot of clicking around I had to do to figure out how to use it. And then when I did set up my first and second campaigns with them, I immediately got email saying that everything I'd done was wrong for whatever reason. So it was super confusing to figure out how to use in the first place and then how to use it correctly, more importantly than all. GetResponse is different in that it's completely user-friendly, you can get to it right away. And right away when you sign up you get AI powered newsletter and a landing page among other things, which makes it so to start your business pretty immediately. You can go ahead and use those while you figure out how you want to present yourself differently, if at all. And when you go to set up your campaigns, one, they're super easy. Each of the steps is listed simply and right when you go to see what your campaigns are, it's really easy to see which ones you have, what day of the process they're in, and some simple analytics, you can see an open rate and a click rate all right on the same page. So a lot of the main reason actually, that I signed up for GetResponse was the ease of use. I didn't have to go somewhere and figure out how to set it up. All I had to really think about was what I wanted my email to say, all of them actually. And even if I had a hard time with that, writing it out per se, they have AI powered stuff so that I could set up the emails quickly and easily and just adjust what the AI had set up or written for me. And it was nice to see because I could see my different campaigns and see what analytics were, simple ones. I could see the open rate, the click rate, where I was in the process. And a really good one. How many emails had actually been sent? So did it send to all of my contacts? Was it able to send to all of them or half of them or just a few? I could see all that right on one page before needing to delve in to see further if I needed to. GetResponse was super easy to get started. Right when I signed up, I got 30 days. You get 30 days for free to test it out, which for a brand new business is fantastic. And right when you sign up you get AI powered different items. The highlights for me were a landing page and a newsletter, which I could just use, maybe tweak a little bit, maybe change into my brand colors and send out or set up just immediately, which was wonderful. I definitely think anyone thinking of getting GetResponse is going to be completely blown away just by how simple it is to use the fact that you do get it for free for 30 days. And when you do upgrade, because you will, because you're going to say, "Heck yeah, I'm doing this more than 30 days." You're going to find that the pricing is really great, because even if, let's say you don't have 50,000 people on your email list to start, you don't want to pay those prices still, right? So they've got different tiers where let's say, you've only got a thousand people signed up to your email list, well great, you can pay a much lower price that matches that thousand email list per situation. As opposed to 50,000, which could be a hundred dollars a month. So it's really great for a new business for sure.
