Actual User Feedback
“…I prefer GR because they have an iphone app that lets me add
users on the fly (people ask to join my list I hand them the phone with the
app launched)…”

“…I've been using GR for the last couple of years and have no
complaints. You can actually customize the page people go to after they
confirmed their subscription…”
-- Actual user comment from WarriorForum.com Forum
“…The only issues I have with GR is that most of my subscribers
have told me that my messages are listed as spam, this poses quite an issue
as people are not as easy to trust my website…”
-- Actual user comment from imreportcard.com
“…I did a lot of comparing before deciding on GR. As you might
imagine it came down to GetResponse or AWeber. There is no real difference
in what is offered from either company but there is a HUGE difference in
price… I've been very happy with GR and highly recommend it…”
