Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Gleam
Giveaways with the rules enforced and the draw run
Gleam runs the mechanics of a giveaway: the entry actions, one entry per person, and a draw you can show your working on afterwards. Competitions is sold on its own, and the lead capture, rewards and gallery apps are each priced again. A free account runs a basic campaign, which is the cheap way to learn whether a giveaway brings you followers who stay.
Our note
Buy the month you need and cancel it. A giveaway brings followers who came for the prize, which makes it worth running only when the prize is something nobody outside your audience would want.

PerkZilla
Reward people for bringing their friends
PerkZilla runs the kind of campaign where a subscriber gets something for referring others: a tiered reward ladder, a share link per person, and a leaderboard if the audience responds to one. It sits on a landing page or inside an email sequence and reports who actually brought somebody. Rewards can be digital goods, discounts or access. The pricing is flat rather than metered on list size, which is unusual in this category.
