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.

Giveaways with entry methods on 30 platforms
SweepWidget covers more entry actions than anything else at the price, including the ones nobody else bothers with: Twitch follows, Discord joins, crypto airdrops. The widget embeds anywhere or runs on a hosted page. Its design editor is dated, and the styling controls that fix that sit two tiers up.
