  • Publishes genuine local rate cards in several currencies

About GetResponse

GetResponse comes at this category from the opposite direction to everyone else: it is an established email marketing and automation platform that has added a course creator to its upper plans. If email is already the centre of how you sell, that ordering may suit you better than bolting email onto a course tool.

Only its Creator plan and above can sell courses at all, so the plan listed here is that one rather than its cheaper email-only tiers. It charges no fee on course sales.

GetResponse was founded in 1998 and is headquartered in Gdansk, Poland.
