Comparing the pricing plan for both Aweber and GetResponse, you can see that if for the same number of subscribers, using GetResponse instead of Aweber will save you more money per month.

In terms of pricing, GetResponse is a clear winner over Aweber.

Although Aweber and GetResponse are currently the top two autoresponders around, that doesn't mean that they can fit everyone needs. Another very good Aweber or GetResponse alternative is EmailAces autoresponder. EmailAces was started in 2002 by seasoned internet marketer, Gary Ambrose and comes with several neat features. They also allows monthly subscription fees to be paid via paypal for those who are not comfortable with credit cards.

The main limitation I have with Aweber and GetResponse is they don't allow me to directly import my leads into the database even thru they are previously opt-in. Aweber and GetResponse required my leads to reconfirm themselves again whereas EmailAces allows us to import leads directly as long as they have valid IP address.

So if you are migrating your mailing list to a autoresponder service, EmailAces will allow you to import your current mailing list much easier as compared to Aweber and GetResponse.
