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.
KingSumo
Giveaways with a lifetime price tag
KingSumo runs the bonus-entry giveaway that grew half the email lists of the last decade, and it sells a lifetime licence rather than a subscription. The free tier covers unlimited giveaways with bonus entries and reminder emails. Branding controls, tracking and integrations are all on the paid side, and the sponsored entry stays on your giveaway until you pay.

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.
Our note
The absence of a free tier is the thing to weigh, since it means committing before seeing whether your audience shares at all. If that matters more than the flat rate, start with a tool that has one and move here when the referral loop is proven to work.
