PromoSimple vs SweepWidget Comparison 2026
PromoSimple covers entries across four major platforms, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and X, at $14 a month billed annually, though email integration only arrives on the second tier at $29. SweepWidget covers far more ground, over 100 entry methods including Twitch follows, Discord joins and crypto airdrops that most competitors do not touch, with email integration to Mailchimp, Kit and 35 other lists included from its $29-a-month Pro plan. PromoSimple is cheaper at entry but narrower in platform coverage and gates email behind an upgrade; SweepWidget costs more but includes email from the start and reaches audiences PromoSimple cannot touch at all.

PromoSimple
Giveaways with the legal wording generated
PromoSimple builds giveaway entry forms and generates the official rules to go under them, which is the part most creators running a competition either skip or copy from somewhere unwise. Entries can be earned through actions on the major social platforms. Age and location restrictions are set on the form rather than policed afterwards. The cheapest plan does not connect to an email tool, so anybody whose point is list building should start one tier up.
Our note
Start at the Businesses tier if the giveaway exists to grow a list, since sending entrants to your email tool is the entire point and it is not on Basic. The generated official rules are the underrated part of this: most creator giveaways run without any, which is a problem nobody notices until it is one.

Why people weigh these two
- SweepWidget instead of PromoSimple
- SweepWidget covers entry methods across thirty platforms, more than the major networks PromoSimple supports, and it keeps a free tier.
- PromoSimple instead of SweepWidget
- PromoSimple generates the official rules wording your giveaway needs to stay legal, starting at $14 with no free tier, narrower in scope than SweepWidget's thirty-platform entry list.
Which one should you pick
Pick PromoSimple if your audience lives on the four platforms it covers and the generated official legal rules matter most. Basic is $14 a month billed annually, but budget for Businesses at $29 if list growth is the actual point, since email integration is not on the cheaper tier.
Pick SweepWidget if entries need to come from Twitch, Discord or other platforms PromoSimple does not support at all. Pro is $29 a month for one brand with email integration included from that tier, though the free plan caps at just 10 entries, making it a preview rather than something to actually run a campaign on.
Common questions
- Which covers more platforms for entries, PromoSimple or SweepWidget?
- SweepWidget, by a wide margin: over 100 entry methods including Twitch, Discord and crypto airdrops. PromoSimple covers four major platforms, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and X.
- Does email integration cost extra on either?
- On PromoSimple, yes: the cheapest Basic plan at $14 a month has no email tool connection, requiring the $29 Businesses tier. SweepWidget includes email integrations to 35 lists from its $29-a-month Pro plan, without a separate gate.
- Is SweepWidget's free plan usable for a real campaign?
- Not really, it caps at 10 entries, which makes it a preview rather than a usable tier. PromoSimple has no free plan at all, starting straight at $14 a month billed annually.
- Which generates the official legal rules a giveaway needs?
- PromoSimple states this directly as a core feature, generating the wording most creators either skip or copy unwisely. SweepWidget's listing does not describe an equivalent generated legal rules feature.
