Contests and giveaways with entry rules
ShortStack builds the contest itself, not only the widget: a landing page, the entry form, the rules that decide what counts as an entry, and the random draw at the end. Emails to entrants go out from the same place. Pricing is by page views rather than by entries, and overage is charged per thousand once a campaign catches on.

Giveaways with entry methods on 30 platforms
SweepWidget covers more entry actions than anything else at the price, including the ones nobody else bothers with: Twitch follows, Discord joins, crypto airdrops. The widget embeds anywhere or runs on a hosted page. Its design editor is dated, and the styling controls that fix that sit two tiers up.

Ratings are the average of reviews readers left. The facts are stated by each tool’s own listing and are not verified by CloutStack. How we make money.
