Co-Founder Computer Games Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best option out there" June 19, 2020 5.0 Pros 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. Cons It could have even more integrations, like Zapier Switched from [Gleam Apps](https://www.capterra.com/p/199369/Gleam-Apps/) Price + variety + amazing customer service. Review Source Response from SweepWidget June 23, 2020 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! Amna R. Editor Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "One of the best for holding giveaways" June 19, 2020 5.0 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. Pros One 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. Cons Although there is a free version, we are on the Pro and think the price is slightly high. A lower price would have been awesome!

Review Source Response from SweepWidget June 22, 2020 Hi Amna, Thanks for your feedback! We pride ourselves on making SweepWidget easy to use while also offering powerful features.

Lifestyle Blogger Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Marketing tool for small businesses" July 6, 2020 5.0 I've mostly used this on the consumer end, entering giveaways/sweeps. It's probably the easiest to use, with connections across all sorts of social media. Pros Very easy to use. Both for setting up a give away, as well as on the users end. Cons I haven't found anything I don't like about SweepWidget. Review Source Response from SweepWidget July 8, 2020 Thanks Adelina, we appreciate your feedback! I'm glad you've enjoyed entering contests using SweepWidget :) DG Dena G. Owner Online Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Must for Giveaways" June 23, 2020 5.0 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. Pros The SweepWidget form is simple to use and set up. It is very customizable not only with ways to enter but branding. Cons One 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. Review Source KS Kasandra S. Business Owner Insurance Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to use" June 19, 2020 5.0 Pros I like that it’s easy to use. I’ve used other programs that are very difficult to understand. But this one is user friendly. Cons The screens can upload slow at times. So when I’m on the phone it is a pain. Review Source Response from SweepWidget June 23, 2020 Thanks for your feedback Kasandra! We made a big update in the last month and the widget loads extremely fast now regardless of how big or small it is. Let me know if we can assist with anything in the future! Jake L. User Experience Telecommunications Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Hands down the quickest and easiest way to run a competition!" August 3, 2020 5.0 Pros 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! Cons Unfortunately, there is no easy way to export both entries and participants into one spreadsheet Alternatives considered [Rafflecopter](https://www.capterra.com/p/140296/Rafflecopter/) Review Source LP Lilac P. Blogger Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Versatile and Attractive" March 15, 2021 5.0 Excellent! Pros Sweepwidget is the best giveaway tool I've ever used. It's immensely versatile, easy to use and you have total freedom in design and style. It includes all social media, plus other options, like Shopify, Soundcloud, Telegram... that no other widget offers. It's impressive and I won't use any other widget. Love it! Cons I cannot find any cons. If there were any small issues, they were fixed quickly. Review Source SAN Sai Akash N. Owner Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The Best Application for creating contests on the Internet!" February 7, 2022 4.0 My Experience with SweepWidget is almost 2 years. Till now I have not faced any issues. They have great customer support who are friendly. Pros SweepWidget is easy to use, Great User Interface. Easy Customizations. SweepWidget customer support is awesome. They have good Documentation which is well documented and easy to understand. Cons The pricing plans don't look budget-friendly. They need to decrease the pricing so that small and medium companies or organizations can sign up. Review Source Response from SweepWidget February 8, 2022 Thank you for your feedback Sai! We're always happy to help you brainstorm the best possible ways on how to run your contests to maximize the results! SS Sandeep S. CEO and Creative Director Entertainment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent Widget for Giveaways" June 9, 2020 5.0 It has helped conducting giveaways on our channel a whole lot easier. It also has helped us achieve good growth on our channel. Pros Loved the extensive customization options available to truly personalize it to your liking. Cons Hardly anything to be honest. Happy with our experience so far and it was very easy to implement. Switched from [Gleam Apps](https://www.capterra.com/p/199369/Gleam-Apps/) SweepWidget was more advanced and customizable compared to Gleam Review Source BP Bruno P. Editor Media Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Product" July 2, 2020 4.0 Pros I like the functionality of the features that we could use. With lot of features and a lot of ways to use. I try a lot of sweep/give away software and this was one of the best and, at the moment the most used by me in my projects. Cons The designer of the software could be better, mainly when we put it on our website. There is other competitors with a better design then this. Review Source PS Prithviraj S. Content Creator/Producer Entertainment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A really good alternative to the other expensive services" June 19, 2020 4.0 SweepWidget makes it really easy to create and launch giveaways with a huge set of features and analytics. Pros The 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! Cons The 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. Review Source Response from SweepWidget June 23, 2020 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! MI Monica I. Owner Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SweepWidget has helped my business grow" June 19, 2020 5.0 Pros SweepWidget is very user friendly and the customer service is excellent! I like how many integration options there are and I have grown my email list and social media followers exponentially through giveaways with SweepWidget. Cons None, it's been easy to use and the price is worth it for the return on investment. Review Source MH Max H. Marketer Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Not all seekers become a finders" June 24, 2020 5.0 Pros I was looking for such a solution and luckily I find Sweep Widget Cons \- Price - Customer Service - User-friendliness Review Source CB Carlton B. Owner Music Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Why SweepWidget is a great giveaway software" July 9, 2020 5.0 We are utilizing SweepWidget on my website to giveaway prizes to the site visitors who peruse it. We also use it as a service offering to artists who want to promote their new music releases. It has been a great experience using the software so far and would definitely recommend it. Pros The pricing and ease of use were the main two determinants for why I selected the software for my website. Cons I honestly don't have any negatives to share thus far with the software, and would recommend it to anyone who wants to set up giveaways and sweepstakes on their website. Reason for choosing SweepWidget N/A Review Source DP Dinakar P. Programmer Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best for creating contests or giveaways" February 20, 2022 4.0 My overall experience was okay with sweepwidget. I can say that it is good but not the best. Pros SweepWidget helped me in gaining some people for my services. The Support they provide is just great. Friendly User Interface, Easy to create contests or giveaways. Can go live in minutes. Social Media Integration. Cons The one thing I don't like is their pricing plans, they charge too much compared to their alternatives out there. It's better if they provide a short link. Review Source Response from SweepWidget February 22, 2022 Hi Dinakar, thanks for your feedback! If you ever need any help with future giveaways, or want any custom integrations, we'll be happy help out and brainstorm with you! LR Leandro R.

Automatic draw and winner contact was a cool feature. Lots of customisation possible. Cons Customisation options are all paid. Could have a couple free ones. Review Source Response from SweepWidget July 8, 2020 Hi Leandro, thanks for your feedback!

Music Educator E-Learning Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "SweepWidget Free version best value on market" June 29, 2020 5.0 Pros The SweepWidget Free version best value on market as you can download email addresses for free.

Creator Online Media Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Perfect Contest Solution for Bloggers " June 19, 2020 5.0 Customer service is outstanding. I had an issue with my first contest and they got back to me immediately with an answer from a real person who had clearly read my email. Pros SweepWidget makes it easy to run giveaways and contests to boost your followers and readers. With a wide variety of entry options and simple to use dashboard, it takes less than 30 to set up your first contest. The free version is more robust than most of its competitors’, but if it’s not diffident for your needs, you can upgrade for a reasonable price. You can even go back and forth—free version one month, pro the next, then back to free. Cons It’s not as glitzy-looking as some of its competitors. But for the price, function wins out.

Owner Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to implement, many great features" June 19, 2020 5.0 It has been a great product from the start, we plan to continue using it as long as the pricing remains as competitive as it stands today. Pros This system works very will for us in both implementation and regular use. It allows for a wide variety of contest types and has been very flexible for our needs. Cons The user interface took a bit of time to get used to, but after setting up a few giveaways, it has gotten quite easy to use.

Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Used it for a product give-away" November 9, 2021 4.0 We used the SweepWidget to generate more interest to our Facebook page. Pros Creating the give-away was straight forward and logically. I like how they laid out the interface so that you went section by section to complete the different areas of the give-away. It was not overwhelming at all. Cons I am using the free version of SweepWidget so maybe that is why the analytics seemed to lack. Maybe with a purchased plan I would receive more benefits. I think the free plan is still worth it but it still lacked. Review Source NK Nick K. Video Creator Online Media Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Got the job done" June 29, 2020 5.0 Pros \- easy to navigate - variety of features - simple to use Cons No complaints!

Owner Entertainment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Sweeping up the competition" June 19, 2020 5.0 Pros More features available than the competition at particular tiers. Cons One improvement could be an animated winner selection output to host on page. Honestly tho I had to stretch to come up with an improvement suggestion.
