Capabilities Detailed Review	Rating	Rating
1 – Email builder	★★★ 3.5/5 We found the email builder pretty easy to work with during our ConvertKit review. That being said, the customization options are a bit limited.	★★★★ 4.5/5 GetResponse makes use of a drag and drop editor which is easy to handle. Also nice is the way you can undo/redo actions with a revision history. Also, you can spam-test your emails, which is really cool!
2 – Email templates	★ 1.5/5 With ConvertKit you have a limited selection of templates, unless you HTML-code templates yourself.	★★★ 3.0/5 With GetResponse you have a decent selection of different email templates. They do look a bit outdated though.
3 – Form builder	★★★ 3.0/5 With ConvertKit you can choose a reasonable amount of form types. You can also create landings pages. Creating a custom design is a bit lacking.	★★★★ 4.0/5 Setting up forms with GetResponse is done conveniently with their form builder. It is helpful that you can also create landings pages. The only downsides are that the form design options and the form display options (like pop ups etc) are a bit limited. But if you work with optin software or some of the popular pagebuilders for wordpress like Elementor and thrive, you won't have a problem here.
4 – List management & segmentation	★★★★★ 5.0/5 One of the outstanding features of ConvertKit is their segmentation based on tags. You can get really targeted with who you want to send emails and automations too.	★★★★ 4.0/5 The only downside we came across in point 4 of our GetResponse review was their tagging system is that tagging can not be done manually. Other than that, good segmentation and tagging system.
5 – Automation	★★★★ 4.0/5 ConvertKit is very user-friendly. Automations can be set up easily with their ‘automations manager’. They work with a ‘trigger’ and ‘action’ system, which is easy to use. With their visual automations builder you can also easily create multiple automations with their own rules. The number of triggers you can select are a bit limited, though.	★★★ 3.0/5 GetResponse is decent when it comes to setting up automations. GetResponse is equipped with a nice workflow builder in which all features are conveniently listed and can be applied with drag and drop. It is a little bit outdated though, because you have to leave to automation builder to create new emails (which disrupts your workflow) and deliverability leaves a lot to be desired.
6 – Splittesting	★★ 2.0/5 It has basic A/B-testing. To get more detailed results is a bit of a complex process.	★★★ 3.0/5 The A/B-testing of GetResponse is decent and has the basic features readily available. You can test email content, and split-test individual emails inside automations. You can not splittest a complete automation or funnel however.
7 – Integrations	★★★ 3.5/5 ConvertKit integrates with most apps (also with Zapier integrations).	★★★ 3.5/5 GetResponse integrates with almost every app (also integration with Zapier)..
8 – Reporting	★★ 2.5/5 ConvertKit's reporting and tracking options are basic. More detailed information is not available.	★★★★ 4.0/5 GetResponse does tracking and reporting well. It is slightly better than most tools out there, since it has some nice extra features. The best one is ROI tracking.
9 – Support & Community	★★★★ 4.0/5 ​ConvertKit replied really quickly during our ConvertKit review and make sure you are helped out. Live chat is quick and responsive as well..	★★★ 3.0/5 ​We've had great support during our GetResponse review. There are many options: email, phone, live chat, and a lot of information elsewhere. They are usually very responsive and helpful, but sometimes not at all.
10 – Ease of use	★★★ 5.0/5 In comparison with other tools, this one is easy to use. Great for beginners and bloggers!	★★★ 3.5/5 Sometimes a bit confusing, but in the end you'll manage.
11 – Value for money	★★★ 3.0/5 Although good software, a bit too expensive for the amount of features you are able to use. However, tools like Drip are even more expensive.	★★★★ 4.0/5 After completing our GetResponse review, we must say they offer really good value for money.
