The best out there....PERIOD
It’s been extremely easy to implement and because of the features my growth and income has sky rocketed! Try the free version, YOU CANT GO WRONG!
PROSWhat I love the most is the custom features that was able to get created specially for my needs and the price! Way better than the competition
CONSEverything I didn’t like, support was able to change for me, so currently no cons
Reasons for switching to SweepWidget
Pricing and lack of features! To get the features I wanted was $200 a month (insane) and even at that level it still doesn’t have half the features that Sweepwidget has for less than half the price!
Vendor Response
Hi Gregory, I'm happy we were able to add the custom features you requested! We're always happy to add feature requests as it makes the widget better for everyone. Also, I'm glad you were able to save money while still getting all of the functionality you need. It's our goal to offer the most feature rich product while still being affordable for everyone. As always, let us know if we can help with anything else!

A simple custom giveaway solution
My overall experience has been very good. I was looking for an easy to implement giveaway solution that had the advanced features in case I needed them. They also continue to be very eager and respond to feedback which is a plus.
PROSIt's very easy to use and the system allows you to quickly duplicate previous campaigns when creating a new giveaway. The best feature(s) are the very customizable entry options that allow you to validate entries. For example you can create a custom question and answer response to enable the entrant to prove they completed all required actions.
CONSThere isn't really any cons. When copying a campaign I think the image creatives are not copied as well. ( This may be by design ) This is a relatively new product and I think they'll continue to improve the application as they have already demonstrated.
Reason for choosing SweepWidget
Woobox hasn't really made any changes to move with all the technology changes in the giveaway and sweepstakes space. I was looking for a company that would be responsive to changes.
Reasons for switching to SweepWidget
Gleam sometimes has loading problems where the app will try to make a connection to a remote network. You only have seconds to retain an entrants attention. This I saw as a drawback. I've never experienced this problem with SweepWidget. They also don't require a rules page when creating a new giveaway. This is a serious problem as their are many fraudulent giveaways being created without any official rules.

So easy to host contests and giveaways!
I think that it is a great software that takes the hassle out of running a giveaway and makes it easier for me to do them.
PROSI used this software to run a couple of giveaways and I like its ease of use. I enjoy the fact that it can set up entries for different social networks very easily and keep track of it all.
CONSI think the initial setup took a little more time than necessary but it was all to get a flawless giveaway going.

It is a no brainer
We needed to grow our social media reach, thus doing giveaways on this platform was an absolute breeze.
PROSIt is the perfect integration to promote and grow your social media reach. The wide range of freemium and premium options makes SweepWidget the perfect companion for any business, small or large
CONSThe free version do however lack colour variation and isn't very appealing.

SweepWidget is the more affordable option with great free features to test it out. The integration and setup was more straigh forward and easy to use

Thanks for your feedback Herman! I'm glad you were able to grow your social media reach with SweepWidget!

An Easy Giveaway Tool with Lots of Options
We were very happy with SweepWidget. We previously used an email-only entry form for giveaways, but wanted a tool that would help boost our social media followers by allowing entries via social shares. After reviewing several options we decided SweepWidget was the best value, and we were not disappointed. Our giveaway was a huge success and we enjoyed a significant increase in social followers. It was easy to setup and integrates with every social platform and entry method we could have imagined. Will definitely be using again.
PROSSweepWidget provides a wide range of integrations with every imaginable social media platform and entry method. We were impressed with how easy it was to setup and embed on our site and saw a significant boost in our social followers after using it for a giveaway.
CONSSome entry methods are done on an honor system, where users only need to claim then performed the required task (usually a social share) to gain an entry. It would be nice if there was a way to verify these entries, but I understand that may be a limitation of technology with social platform integrations.
Reason for choosing SweepWidget
We tried Gleam, but received errors when trying to sign up. We felt SweepWidget was a better value for the cost compared to other platforms.
Reasons for switching to SweepWidget
Our previous entry form only required an email address and we wanted to incorporate more social sharing with our giveaways.
Vendor Response
Hi Martin, Thanks so much for your positive feedback! I'm glad you were able to increase your followers and that it gave you all the options you needed!

Best Giveaway Platform Out There!
Looked all over for a platform that would meet our needs and be within our budget. Sweepwidget was fairly new and decided to give them a try. Blew away the competition.
PROSSuper easy to use. Customer service is the best I've ever had and they are constantly tweaking the product based on feedback from customers. Compared to other platforms I've used, you get way more than you pay for!
CONSIt's hard to come up with something that I like least. There have been things that needed tweaked, though with a quick email to customer service, it is usually addressed within hours.
Reason for choosing SweepWidget
Compared Sweepwidget to the other apps and what they offered for the budget was far above the competion.

Best option out there
I liked the most the variety of features it has for the price. Sweep is super dynamic and we needed a multi-language platform that could create and manage easily challenges and contests for gamers every week. It did not disappoint. On top of everything, customer support on sweep goes above and beyond for users.
CONSIt could have even more integrations, like Zapier

Thank you for your feedback Nicolas! I'm glad you were able to benefit from the multi-language support. We offer 103 languages to that you can automatically translate the widget into. Also, you have the option to manually edit all of the words/language within the widget if you want to override something. I'm glad we could provide good customer support too!

Such a good tool for giveaways!
Great support, great features, 10/10. Super responsive team and easy to use.
PROSWe absolutely love Sweepwidget for our giveaways and campaigns with Boy Scouts of America's large audience. It has been a fantastic tool for collecting information and growing our email list. We found it extremely easy to use and manage our sweepstakes. We love how sweepwidget.com is the variety of customizable options available. This allowed us to tailor our campaigns to fit our specific needs and goals. We were able to select the entry methods, set prize parameters, and even customize the design of our sweepstakes to appeal to our target audience. This flexibility was crucial in creating successful and engaging campaigns. The platform offers great analytics and reporting, giving us valuable data and metrics to track the progress of our campaigns.
CONSHaven't had something that we haven't loved. We weren't able to upload videos to the text box originally but the support team added that just in time for our giveaway.

SweepWidget is a fantastic organizational tool!
I have noticed an increased traffic to my site and my social media channels through the contests I host! This allows me to make a few more dollars on Amazon and monetize my blog in other ways. SweepWidget is also very reasonably prized!
PROSI like SweepWidget because it's easy to use and helps me effectively organize contests I host on my site. It has a viral share option that allows contestants to share about the giveaways I host and increases traffic to my site. SweepWidget also allows me to manage my entries with ease. I can eliminate anyone who essentially "cheated" and make sure entrants are verified. Such a useful tool!
CONSI really can't think of any! It's been so easy to use!

SweepsWidget Review
I've been very pleased with both the functionality and the support of this giveaway widget. It delivered tremendous value for me, especially when you consider it was only $29.99/month. I was paying $43 for RaffleCopter's growth plan and getting fewer features that were relevant for me. Again, the customer has been prompt and solid which I think is especially important when running giveaways.
PROSPrior to using SweepsWidget, I used Rafflecopter for all of my company's monthly giveaways. While it I was satisfied with Rafflecopter, there were a number of entry options that were only available in the top-tier pricing plan. SweepsWidget essentially gave me all of those additional features such as "refer-a-friend, create your own entry option, polls, joining FB groups" at an even lower cost. I also like the usability of this giveaway tool. It's very user-friendly with color-coded buttons and I prefer its user interface over Rafflecopter. Often times, people have reservations of having to learn a new system but I found everything very intuitive on the back-end. The email integration was seamless as well. I've connected my giveaways to MailChimp and MailerLite without any problems. In fact, I initially wrote the [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] about adding MailerLite support and a few days later, it was available. I think that speaks to the company's prompt customer service.
CONSHonestly, I don't have any recommendations for improvement at the moment but will gladly update this review should I think of any.

One of the best for holding giveaways
Previously we tried manual giveaways and keeping track of everything, plus encouraging users to use different methods to participate was very difficult. This makes it very easy and now there are tons of ways users can enter a sweepstake and its very easy to manage all things from one simple dashboard.
PROSOne of the best way to market anything nowadays is to have a giveaway and SweepWidget makes it very easy to hold one. No programming, no techy stuff. It's very simple and can help in getting tons of verified emails.
CONSAlthough there is a free version, we are on the Pro and think the price is slightly high. A lower price would have been awesome!
Reason for choosing SweepWidget

The customer service is outstanding, usually responding the same day. Overall I have been very happy with SweepWidget!, I am glad I made the switch.
PROSThe SweepWidget form is simple to use and set up. It is very customizable not only with ways to enter but branding.
CONSOne feature suggestion I made was once the winner has been selected to have that giveaway highlighted a different color or the winner shown on the main page of the finished giveaways so you know that winners have been selected for that particular giveaway.

Hands down the quickest and easiest way to run a competition!
After doing a bit of looking around and trying out a few different platforms we eventually came across SweepWidget. After setting up a free account and having a tinker around we upgraded to the Pro plan and for a reasonable price we got access to a quick and easy way to spin up a competition with multiple entry methods and the flexibility to customise the look, feel and functionality with little to no knowledge required. We did have a minor hiccup however, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] was fantastic to deal with and swiftly resolved our issue. I recommend SweepWidget to anyone looking for an easy way to run a comp with all the bells and whistles of the bigger platforms at a fraction of the cost!
CONSUnfortunately, there is no easy way to export both entries and participants into one spreadsheet

A really good alternative to the other expensive services
SweepWidget makes it really easy to create and launch giveaways with a huge set of features and analytics.
PROSThe best part about SweepWidget is that there are such a wide range of Social media options for creating a giveaway. Also the login options are really helpful to avoid repeat or bot entries. There are lots of options that are missing from other services like Youtube video comments, likes etc. Another extremely impressive thing I found was when I reported that a feature was missing, the developer implemented that feature and let me know about it, in a day!
CONSThe one issue I have with SweepWidget is that there is no option to verify some entries (Youtube likes/comments) for the giveaway. I understand that it might be due to API issues on those specific platforms but I would like to have a way to do this in the future.
Reason for choosing SweepWidget
SweepWidget has tons of features, is more affordable and has great customer support.

Thank you for your feedback Prithviraj! It's our goal to have more social media entry methods than any other widget. We're always trying to add more API verified actions while complying with the TOS of the various services. Also, I'm glad we were able to implement your feature request!
