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.

Woobox
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.
Why people weigh these two
- Woobox instead of KingSumo
- Woobox covers giveaways, quizzes and polls with entry rules from $29 with a free tier.
- KingSumo instead of Woobox
- KingSumo sells a lifetime price tag instead of a subscription, with a free tier and a $49 plan, right if you would rather pay once than keep renewing Woobox.
Which one should you pick
Pick KingSumo if the whole job is a referral-style giveaway you plan to run more than once, since paying $49 a single time beats a recurring subscription for a tool used a few times a year. The free plan already covers unlimited giveaways with bonus entries and reminder emails.
Pick Woobox if the campaign is a contest, quiz or poll rather than a referral loop. Its free plan runs a real campaign at 100 entries a month, and the $29 tier covers 1,000. Its own listing calls Gleam the closer comparison and names Woobox the winner on how far that free plan stretches.
Common questions
- Which is cheaper for a single giveaway?
- KingSumo, if you plan to run more than one. Its lifetime plan is $49 once and the free tier already covers unlimited giveaways. Woobox is free up to 100 entries a month and then $29 a month, so it costs more than KingSumo once a campaign runs past a few months.
- Can Woobox run a quiz or a photo contest, not just a giveaway?
- Yes, and this is its main advantage over KingSumo. Woobox covers sweepstakes, photo and video contests, quizzes, polls and coupon giveaways from one account. KingSumo does one thing, a bonus-entry referral giveaway, and does not offer the other formats.
- Does either tool remove its own branding?
- KingSumo removes the sponsored entry only after buying the $49 lifetime plan. Woobox's tiers are separated by entries and views rather than by branding, so check its plan pages for what the free tier shows on a campaign page.
- Which free plan is more generous?
- Woobox's runs a real campaign of up to 100 entries and 1,000 views a month with no card required. KingSumo's free plan allows unlimited giveaways but withholds custom branding, tracking and integrations until the lifetime plan is bought.
