ShortStack vs Simpliers

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.

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).
