Sweepstakes and contests that stay compliant
ViralSweep runs the giveaway and, more to the point, runs the legal side of it: official rules, entry records, winner selection and the bonding a US sweepstakes needs above a prize threshold. Gleam is cheaper and lighter. This is the one to use when the prize is big enough that getting it wrong matters.
Our note
Gleam does the mechanics for less. The reason to pay four times as much here is the rules, the records and the bonding, which only matter above a prize value most creators never reach.

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.
