What it is

ShortStack is a no-code marketing platform for building contests, landing pages, forms, pop-ups, quizzes, and lead-capture campaigns. Its drag-and-drop builder includes templates and custom styling, with publishing as landing pages or embedded website campaigns. Formats include sweepstakes, instant-win games, quizzes, photo and video contests, public voting, and refer-a-friend promotions. Campaign analytics connect with Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. Other listed integrations include Mailchimp, Facebook, Instagram, Vimeo, YouTube, HubSpot, Klaviyo, webhooks, and Entry API. Leads can be exported to CSV, while Google reCAPTCHA, Cloudflare Turnstile, fraud filtering, and entry restrictions help protect campaigns. The Free plan costs nothing forever, with 500 views monthly, 200 stored entries, one connected site, and no team seats. Paid plans start at $24 a month billed annually. Enterprise pricing is custom. ShortStack supports web and API access.
