SweepWidget vs ViralSweep

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.

ViralSweep is a marketing platform for promotions intended to grow email and SMS lists, raise engagement, and generate sales. Campaign types include sweepstakes, contests, instant-win promotions, purchases, waitlists, milestones, hashtags, galleries, email forms, and comment promotions. The Sweepstakes App supports customizable entry forms, bonus entries for social actions, website embeds, hosted links, analytics in real time, and random winner selection. Paid plans include unlimited promotions and entries, but purchase order allowances vary by plan. Starter costs $41 a month with annual billing or $49 a month with monthly billing; both list 100 purchase orders. Each selected plan starts with a 7-day trial, after which billing begins unless ended earlier. Basic integrations include Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Shopify Email, and ActiveCampaign; premium integrations include HubSpot, Salesforce, Zapier, and Google Analytics. The API can add and retrieve account data, requires Premium or higher, and uses an API key. Promotions use spam filtering, CAPTCHA, cookie and IP tracking, and background protections to help identify suspicious or duplicate entries. Support includes live chat during business hours, email, scheduled calls, and documentation.
