Capabilities Detailed Review	Rating	Rating
1 – Email builder	★★★★ 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!	★★★ 3.5/5 AWeber's visuals are a bit outdated, but all in all it's pretty effective in setting up emails.
2 – Email templates	★★★ 3.0/5 With GetResponse you have a decent selection of different email templates. They do look a bit outdated though.	★★ 2.0/5 AWeber has a vast selection of templates, but their designs are a bit outdated. For $29 you can have a template modified by the AWeber staff, and for $229 you can have your own design made.
3 – Form builder	★★★★ 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.	★★★ 3.0/5 A bit basic, but a large selection of form types.
4 – List management & segmentation	★★★★ 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.	★★★ 3.0/5 The tagging options are a bit limited and outdated, but list management is nicely done.
5 – Automation	★★★ 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 It is a little bit outdated though, because you have to leave to automation builder to create new emails (which disrupts your workflow) and deliverability leaves a lot to be desired.	★★ 2.0/5 It is fairly easy to use, but the features of setting up automations are limited. There are only two ways to set up an automation with AWeber. One is when somebody subscribes to a list, the other is when you apply a tag. You can not create triggers based on certain behaviour, like the purchasing of a product.
6 – Splittesting	★★★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.	★★ 2.0/5 A/B-testing is possible, but a bit tricky. With AWeber, you can A/B-test broadcasts and subject lines but that's it. Testing content inside of emails seems to be possible but we could not figure out how to do it. And no automation splittesting, which is a big let down for such a tool. AWeber Split-testing capabilities are too basic if you ask us.
7 – Integrations	★★★ 3.5/5 GetResponse integrates with almost every app (also integration with Zapier).	★★★★ 4.0/5 AWeber integrates with basically every app (also Zapier integrations).
8 – Reporting	★★★★ 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.	★★★ 3.5/5 Tracking and reporting, in general, is done well with AWeber, except for reporting of automations, which is limited.
9 – Support & Community	★★★ 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.	★★★★ 4.0/5 There is no shortage of videos for using AWeber. If that's not enough, you can call them toll-free, as well as through a live chat (limited hours though). We had good support during our AWeber review.
10 – Ease of use	★★★ 3.5/5 Sometimes a bit confusing, but in the end you'll manage.	★★★ 3.0/5 In general this tool is not difficult to use, but some features are a bit outdated.
11 – Value for money	★★★★ 4.0/5 After completing our GetResponse review, we must say they offer really good value for money.	★★★ 3.0/5 AWeber used to be one of the most popular tools. But after our AWeber review we must conclude that AWeber has difficulties keeping up with other tools. The prices have stayed the same though. It is affordable for low numbers of contacts, but very expensive for large amounts.

Overall rating	★★★ 3.6/5 GetResponse works quickly, is easy to use, and has a good amount of features available. All in all one of the better tools out there.	★★★ 3.0/5 AWeber has been around for a long time. It's not the most advanced product available, but it contains all features that you need for your basics. Mostly, it is easy to use. AWeber's reporting for broadcasts is on point and they offer some other cool features.
