Refer-a-friend for a shop, on a success fee
ReferralCandy runs the customer referral program for an online store: the reward, the emails chasing it, the fraud checks and the payout. Every plan has every feature and the tiers differ only in the split between a fixed monthly fee and a percentage of the sales the program brings in. Working out which tier is cheapest for you is real arithmetic, and the dearer plans can genuinely cost less.
Our note
Do the arithmetic rather than reading down the price column, because the cheapest plan is the most expensive one past a few thousand dollars of referred sales. The break-even between the first two tiers lands near $600 a month in referred revenue.

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.
