Momentum vs GetResponse

GetResponse is an email marketing and automation platform with good contact management behind it. Momentum adds what that stops short of — a real sales pipeline, call handling, and texting that isn't gated to the top tier. Here's how they compare.

This comparison is a high-level fit guide, not a promise of one-for-one feature parity. Product plans and limits change, so confirm current requirements with each provider before switching.

Day-to-day differences

Where the choice shows up in your workflow

01

Full CRM, not a contact list

Deals move through stages with owners, values, and next steps. GetResponse manages contacts well but has no deal pipeline to move them through.

02

Two-way texting included

SMS is in every Momentum plan and lands in the shared inbox. GetResponse puts SMS on its top-tier plan only.

03

Website and funnels included

Build the full site and funnels in the same platform as the email, not just campaign landing pages.

04

Follow-up on autopilot

A missed call gets texted back and a form fill starts a sequence immediately — follow-up runs across channels, not only through email.

Best-fit guide

Which one is right for you?

Choose GetResponse if

  • Email campaigns and list growth are the whole marketing motion
  • You run webinars and want them native to the email platform
  • You already track deals somewhere else and only need the sending side

Choose Momentum if

  • You need to track deals through stages, not just tag contacts
  • You want texting on the entry plan rather than the top one
  • Leads reach you by phone as often as by form

Pricing context

Compare the full setup, not one line item

Momentum starts at $197 CAD/month for the Momentum Lite plan (for one-person shops), with a full CRM, two-way texting, and funnels included alongside email marketing. GetResponse prices by list size and reserves SMS for its top tier, so matching this scope means both a higher plan and a separate CRM.

Competitor pricing models and feature availability described on this page were checked against each vendor's published pricing and documentation on August 22, 2026. Plans change often. For an accurate comparison, include the seats, contacts, messaging volume, setup, and add-ons your own workflow requires.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Does Momentum include email marketing like GetResponse?

Yes, plus a sales pipeline, two-way SMS, call handling, and funnels in the same plan.

Doesn't GetResponse have a CRM?

It has strong contact management — tags, scoring, segmentation — but not deal or pipeline tracking. If you need to see where a job sits between inquiry and invoice, that's the gap.

Is texting included in every Momentum plan?

Yes. Two-way SMS is on every plan, alongside calls, email, and social messaging in one inbox.

Who should use GetResponse instead of Momentum?

If email campaigns and webinars are your marketing and you already have somewhere to track deals, GetResponse is more specialized for that.

Is there a contract?

No. Momentum is month-to-month with no contracts, and it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee*.
