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.

Giveaways, quizzes and polls with entry rules
Woobox builds the campaign types a giveaway actually needs: sweepstakes with entry rules, photo and video contests, quizzes, polls and coupon giveaways, each on a hosted page you can embed. Entries can be tied to actions on the networks you care about. The free plan runs a real campaign rather than a preview.
Our note
Woobox is the one to reach for when the campaign is a contest or a quiz rather than a referral loop. Gleam is the closer comparison, and Woobox wins on how far its free plan goes.
