Gleam vs. Rafflecopter

This is well suited for entrepreneurs who are fine with the limitations of the free and basic plan. Helping businesses grow their social media accounts with tasks. Having that said if your business is just starting out, some of these pricing plans are too high for entrepreneurs. Be aware of the limitations of the plans

Rafflecopter is well suited for giveaways where you want to have people enter in multiple ways and having the option to choose specific ways. For example, if you want people to follow on social media sites (YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, etc.) or post on the social media sites. It has a great feature to customize your own option as well. For podcasts like us, we like to have entries follow us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts

• Rafflecopter helps to connect our business with our clients outside of clinic.
• Rafflecopter allows the ability for our clients to spread the word about our clinic through our social media efforts.
• Rafflecopter truly lets us see how successful we are with our clients, especially because if our patients were not truly satisfied with our services, then they would not want to take part in the giveaways and promotions that we run through Rafflecopter.

• I've used both the paid and free plans; maybe add at least the header image option to the free plan.
• Integrate deeper into certain social channels, like Instagram, to allow people to click follow right on the form.

• Does not have an API. A knowledge base article saying they are considering one has was last updated 8 years ago.
• The list of integrated email service providers has not been updated in a very long time.
• Must login to download payment receipts--no emailed receipt.

I think not that the problem was with Rafflecopter, but rather our company and it's approach to Social Media. Being a conservative B2B company in the manufacturing / safety industry doesn't, at this time, offer us many "social" connections that leads to sale/brand awareness. I think we might be better served on a different social network, say LinkedIn. On a personal note, it was a pleasure using Rafflecopter. Easy, fast, cheap and I can see how it can be hugely effective to a social media campaign for those that are in a different industry than the one I work in. I will certainly be recommending the product to my friends and other businesses that are more appropriately served by Rafflecopter.

Their support is fine. I remember the one time promising an upcoming feature that I don't think ever got implemented, but it wasn't a huge deal. I haven't had a lot of interaction with their support team.

Gleam is much better than Woobox, even though the latter have better pricing tiers.

Rafflecopter is the best platform that is out there for giveaways and there is not another that can compete with what they offer. It is such a good platform to use and easy for anyone to set up. We have used this with many different types of businesses and have had great success.
