In their own words
Heyo
Heyo's new product is social messaging automation for creators on Instagram and TikTok. It turns comments on those platforms into direct message conversations. Its AI builder can translate a described automation idea into a flow that users can shape and launch. Ready-to-customize templates cover sending a link, running a giveaway, and sharing a reward; the product also describes instant wins and coupons as engagement options. The new free offering is marked “Coming soon,” and its final features, limits, and pricing are to be confirmed at launch. Heyo's pricing page also describes legacy contest-campaign plans, with drag-and-drop design, turnkey contest apps, and mobile support. Listed campaign formats include sweepstakes, photo and video contests, quizzes, hashtag campaigns, and refer-a-friend campaigns. Legacy tools include voting, moderation, winner selection, and analytics, while listed email integrations include Mailchimp, GetResponse, Infusionsoft, and Mad Mimi. The Basic legacy plan costs $25 a month when billed annually; it includes three campaigns, unlimited leads, 20,000 page views, up to 50,000 Facebook fans, and three Facebook brand pages. Heyo is identified as a Votigo, Inc. company.
KingSumo
KingSumo is a web and extension-based giveaway service for growing an email list through giveaways and sweepstakes. Entrants provide an email address and can earn bonus entries through Facebook activity, social-account follows, link clicks, or friend referrals. Giveaways can be shared or embedded on a website, with multiple prizes and winners supported. KingSumo sends entry confirmations and reminder emails, while the organizer selects winners and must contact them separately. Invisible reCAPTCHA checks entries in the background on every plan. The free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited giveaways, bonus entries, GDPR compliance, embedding, reminders, multiple prizes and winners, and basic integrations. The Lifetime Plan costs $49 as a one-time purchase, billed as a single payment, and adds custom branding, Meta Pixel and conversion tracking, custom rules and terms, additional entry fields, and sponsored-entry removal. SendFox works on every plan; Mailchimp, ConvertKit, Klaviyo, and Zapier require the Lifetime Plan.
