Both GetResponse and Aweber are very good autoresponders that will get the job done in terms of being a great way for you to send broadcast e-mails, autoresponder e-mails, etc. out to your list.  They're far better than a lot of the alternatives out there, especially hosting your own autoresponder script.

Ultimately at the end of the day, you'll probably be happy with either service and won't run into any major issues with either.  Both have very easy editors, allow multiple campaigns, have great support, and have great delivery (don't believe was some say about 99%+ delivery -- that's not really in the real world ... but having said that, both are exceptionally good).

However, personally, I believe that GetResponse is the clear winner for a few reasons:

  • GetResponse seems to add more and more features for free over the years compared to Aweber
  • They also allow you to import your lists from elsewhere without the need for them to opt-in again (forcing your list to re-opt-in can make you lose a HUGE chunk of the list) following a special algorithm that prevents crap lists from getting imported but allows legitimate ones.
  • They're slightly more friendly towards internet marketers from everything I've seen.
  • They're slightly easier to use in my opinion (but Aweber is also pretty easy -- don't get me wrong).
  • And they're cheaper not only to start with ($15 for 1,000 subscribers vs. $19 for 500 subscribers), but as the list grows, they're cheaper as well.

That's why ultimately at the end of the day, if you're looking for an autoresponder, I think you need to go with GetResponse.
