How this list is ordered. Specifiction scores each tool on how fully its maker documents it, whether its prices are published, where the research puts it, the platforms it runs on and whether it can be tried for free (how we rank). Makers can also buy a numbered place (how Specifiction is paid for).

Free-plan availability and paid-from pricing help frame the cost. Socialman, SweepWidget and Contestit are among the entries shown. Think about the participation methods your campaign needs, the networks it will use, and what oversight or selection process you want, then compare the listed capabilities against those requirements.
