GetResponse vs Zoho Forms
A side-by-side editorial comparison of GetResponse and Zoho Forms — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
GetResponse vs Zoho Forms: at a glance
What is GetResponse?
GetResponse now ships a playbook so AI agents can run its email marketing.
GetResponse has spent the autumn making its account reachable by AI tools. October's MCP connection let Claude or ChatGPT query email data, and the November 12 AI Agent Skills package gives an agent the API's endpoints, payloads, limits and rules so it can act instead of guessing. Around that sit steady ecommerce and compliance work: real-time subscription syncing with stores, open-tracking consent for France and Italy, and workflows started from segments.
What is Zoho Forms?
Zoho Forms has been silent for over a year — AI-generated forms remain the freshest directional move.
Zoho Forms' public blog last shipped content in February 2025, a 15-month gap. The Q1 2025 batch covered form-availability scheduling, mobile image-upload enhancements, and a PDF-to-form converter. Just before the gap, the team launched AI-generated forms and OTP verification.

GetResponse
5.0MKT AUTO
GetResponse now ships a playbook so AI agents can run its email marketing.
◆ Current state
GetResponse has spent the autumn making its account reachable by AI tools. October's MCP connection let Claude or ChatGPT query email data, and the November 12 AI Agent Skills package gives an agent the API's endpoints, payloads, limits and rules so it can act instead of guessing. Around that sit steady ecommerce and compliance work: real-time subscription syncing with stores, open-tracking consent for France and Italy, and workflows started from segments.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is from AI that reads the account to AI that operates it. MCP came first for questions, Agent Skills now target execution, and the segmentation and ecommerce features give agents more to work with.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next releases to let agents build and send campaigns or workflows end to end, with more permission controls around what an agent may change.
Zoho Forms
0.0MKT AUTO
Zoho Forms has been silent for over a year — AI-generated forms remain the freshest directional move.
◆ Current state
Zoho Forms' public blog last shipped content in February 2025, a 15-month gap. The Q1 2025 batch covered form-availability scheduling, mobile image-upload enhancements, and a PDF-to-form converter. Just before the gap, the team launched AI-generated forms and OTP verification.
◆ Where it's heading
Visible direction through early 2025 was incremental builder polish plus a meaningful AI bet on form generation. Since then, no public updates — the product appears to be either in maintenance mode within the broader Zoho suite or shipping without communicating. Without fresh signal it's hard to read intent from the surrounding suite alone.
◆ Prediction
If output resumes, the AI Forms surface is the natural extension point — generation today, smarter validation, prefill, and post-submission triage next. If the silence continues, treat Zoho Forms as a stable suite component rather than an actively differentiated product.
