PromoSimple vs SweepWidget

PromoSimple is a web-based service for building and running giveaways, sweepstakes, contests, and other promotional campaigns. Its workflow covers designing a campaign, setting its launch dates, promoting it, and choosing a winner. Entry forms can collect social actions and custom details, or include polls, surveys, and quizzes. Available entry methods include email or Facebook login, actions on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest, referral links, and custom fields. Forms can be embedded on websites, blogs, and Facebook pages, while campaigns can also reach the Giveaways Network. PromoSimple offers random or manual winner selection, real-time reports, and CSV exports. Its pricing page lists email integrations with MailChimp, Campaign Monitor, MadMimi, and Constant Contact. The free plan allows 50 entrants and has a seven-day limit. Paid plans start at $14/mo (annual); Basic is listed at $171 a year, Businesses at $351 a year, and Premium at $711 a year. The service also describes encrypted SSL, data handling, and cancellation terms; paid plans can be canceled immediately from the Account page, with features remaining through the paid period.

SweepWidget helps organizations run giveaways, contests, and sweepstakes to grow social audiences, engagement, email lists, traffic, and sales. Its drag-and-drop builder supports custom styling and CSS, with more than 30 social platforms and over 110 entry methods listed. Campaign options include social and email promotions, photo and video contests, voting, leaderboards, airdrops, NFT giveaways, presales, and whitelist campaigns. Photo and video contests can use galleries, public voting, media approval, and judge panels. The service collects unlimited emails and lists 38 email CRM integrations. Shopify and WooCommerce can award entries for purchases using configured earning rates and spending thresholds. Campaigns can run in 103 languages. Fraud controls include selectable anti-spam levels, duplicate IP and VPN blocking, disposable-email filtering, and API-verified actions. Rules generation, location and age restrictions, participant verification, and recorded random drawings are available, but customers remain responsible for legal compliance. The Free plan is free; Pro is $29 a month.
