Running the business
PromoSimple generates the official legal rules for a giveaway at $14 a month billed annually, with no free plan at all. Woobox runs more campaign types, sweepstakes, photo and video contests, quizzes, polls and coupon giveaways, on a genuinely usable free plan, 100 entries and 1,000 views a month with no card, then $29 a month once that runs out. PromoSimple's specific strength is the generated legal wording most giveaway tools skip; Woobox's is variety of campaign format plus a free tier real enough to run an actual small giveaway rather than just preview one.

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.

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.
Pick PromoSimple if a straightforward giveaway with properly generated official rules is the job, and you are running it a few times a year with a defined budget. Basic is $14 a month billed annually, though there is nothing free to test it on first.
Pick Woobox if the campaign is a contest, quiz or poll rather than only a sweepstakes, or you want a real free plan before paying anything: 100 entries and 1,000 views a month at no cost. Tiers step up by participation rather than features, so a quiet month costs less and a campaign that does well is what actually moves you up.

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.
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.
