# How does GetResponse pricing work?

What plans are available at GetResponse
---------------------------------------

There are three plans offered, each of them with their own add-on availability and included features. All plans include options for the list sizes: 1k, 2.5k, 5k, 10k, 25k, 50k and 100k.

*   **Starter** – perfect for email marketers and growth-oriented businesses. **For an additional monthly charge you can purchase webinar and/or multi-user access add-ons.**
*   **Marketer** – for growth-focused marketers and SMBs. **Every account created within that package has multi-user access (for up to 5 users) add-ons included in the price.**
*   **Creator** – everything you need to create, market, and monetize your knowledge. **Every account created within that package has access to webinars (300 attendees), multi-user access (for up to 5 users) as well as our content monetization tools.**

Your billing starts with the plan you pick when you sign up. From there, our simple pay-as-you-grow model scales as your list size grows.

How are payments calculated
---------------------------

Your billing is determined by the peak number of active subscribers during the billing month **and** the total number of contacts added within that billing month, regardless of what happens to those contacts after they are added.

Therefore, if your subscriber count increases to a higher pricing plan at any point during the month, **or** if you add more contacts in a given month than your purchased list size allows, you will be charged at the higher level.

**Example 1:**  
You sign up for the $19/mo plan (up to 1,000 subscribers).  
• In month 1, your maximum subscriber count is 300 contacts, so you are charged $19 for the month.  
• In month 2, your list grows, and your maximum subscriber count for that month is 900. You still pay $19.  
• In month 3, your list grows again, and your peak subscriber count is 1,200. This puts you into a higher pricing plan ($29/mo). Still a great deal: you pay as you grow!

**Example 2:**  
You sign up for the $19/mo plan (up to 1,000 subscribers).  
• In month 1, your maximum subscriber count is 900 contacts, so you are charged $19 for the month.  
• In month 2, you decide to delete 900 contacts and add a new list of 900 contacts. You still pay $19.  
• In month 3, you decide to delete 900 contacts, add 900, then delete those newly added contacts and add a brand new list of 900 contacts. This means you added a total of 1,800 contacts (two batches of 900) and need to pay for the higher plan because you exceeded your purchased list size.

How are duplicated subscribers counted
--------------------------------------

Each GetResponse list is treated independently. This means that if an email address is assigned to multiple lists, it counts as multiple contacts.

**Example:**  
Let’s say you have 3 different lists: **X, Y, Z**.  
• john@doe.com joins **X** and **Y**.  
• mary@smith.com joins **X**, and later you copy her to **Z**.  
• tom@subscriber.com joins all three **X, Y, Z** lists.  
• mike@xyz.com joins list **X** only.  
GetResponse counts these as 8 subscribers (2+2+3+1).

We do not charge for the number of messages you send; we charge for the total number of contacts in all of your lists.

Which subscribers do I pay for
------------------------------

You pay for all subscribers added during the billing month, regardless of what happens to them afterward. Your billing is based on the total number of contacts added **and/or** the peak number of active subscribers. So if adding contacts or reaching a higher subscriber count exceeds your plan, you will be charged at the higher level.

How many emails can I send
--------------------------

We don’t impose limits on how many emails you send during the billing period. For one low price, you can send unlimited emails.

What add-ons are available in particular plans
----------------------------------------------

Add-ons in the **Starter and/or Marketer** plan are extra paid. You can purchase them and cancel any time: 5 Multi-user accounts and Webinars with 100 or 500 participants.

The packages within **Marketer** and **Creator** plans include add-ons: Multi-user (for up to 5 users), Webinars 100 (in Creator).

If you have chosen the **Creator** package, webinars for 100 attendees are already included, but you can also purchase an add-on for up to 500 attendees.

**Note**: North American accounts may not have access to purchase or enable add-ons. These features are still available through the Marketer and Creator packages upon upgrade.
