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.

Simpliers brings together social media giveaway tools, Instagram DM automations, forms, and free online tools. Its giveaway picker supports Instagram, X (Twitter), TikTok, and YouTube, and gathers comments, likes, retweets, and replies into entries. Organizers can filter entries by mentions, phrases, unique users, and profile requirements, then select a random winner. They can share results, show participant lists, create a validity certificate, and download lists as XLS files. An AI feature can analyze an Instagram caption and fill in giveaway rules. Simpliers CHAT automates replies to comments, story replies, mentions, and incoming DMs on Instagram. It uses Meta-approved APIs and requires an Instagram Business or Creator account; personal accounts are not eligible. The CHAT API can list, publish, and unpublish automations, with requests made from a server. The free plan allows 200 entries per giveaway and one use per post. Paid plans start at $9.99/mo (annual).
