Below is a table of the different autoresponder services, and their monthly prices based on the number of subscribers in your account.
| 500 | 1,000 | 2,500 | 5,000 | 10,000 | 15,000 | 20,000 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AWeber | $19.00 | $29.00 | $29.00 | $49.00 | $69.00 | $149.00 | $149.00 |
| GetResponse | $9.95 | $18.00 | $25.00 | $45.00 | $65.00 | $105.00 | $145.00 |
| IContact | $10.00 | $19.00 | $29.00 | $47.00 | $74.00 | $109.00 | $149.00 |

Cheapest Autoresponder?
As you can see from the table, the two cheapest autoresponders are GetResponse (overall) and MailChimp (for under 2,000 subscribers). Keep in mind though that Mailchimp is limited by the fact that it DOES NOT allow affiliate links in their emails.
All in all though, you can see that autoresponder monthly prices in general are relatively similar throughout the different tiers.
Autoresponder Yearly Prices
Most autoresponder services also allow you to pre-pay yearly, and get an additional discount. Most of the autoresponders listed above offer 15% yearly discounts. However, GetResponse offers the best deal overall, with an 18% discount if you pay yearly.
If you’ve been with your favorite autoresponder for awhile and like their service, it often makes sense to switch to paying yearly.
Lets say you are currently paying $50 a month for your service. That’s $600 a year. With a 15% discount, you’re saving $90 a year. That’s quite a bit.
Should I Just Get The Cheapest Autoresponder?
In principle, we at AutoresponderGeeks care more about email deliverability, ease of use, and features over monthly price when choosing an autoresponder. That’s why we continue to rate AWeber as our #1 autoresponder even though it’s not the cheapest service in this list.
Still, price is an important factor for many businesses and the fact that GetResponse is one of the cheapest autoresponders overall plus provides quality service should merit it some consideration.
Keep price in mind when researching which autoresponder service to use, but also take a close at the other important factors as well. Moving your mailing lists between autoresponders is not a fun task, so choose wisely!
