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.

Landing pages built around the A/B test
Unbounce is a landing page builder whose reason to exist is what happens after the page is up: variants, traffic splitting and a record of which version won. Popups and sticky bars come with it. It is a conversion tool bought by people running paid traffic, and it is priced for them rather than for a first page.
Our note
Buy this when you are spending money on traffic and want to spend less. Landingi builds a comparable page for less, and Unbounce earns the difference back only if you are actually running the tests.

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.
