ShortStack

Pros: Quick to set up and launch a contest. Metrics and submissions can be reviewed easily. It made things run smoothly.

Cons: Hard to know when your subscription is unpausing. I do not need the platform all of the time but I don't want to lose my account.

Pros: We have had success with the spin-to-win, driving engagement in app and sales on our ecommerce site. We used the spinning wheel for users to win prizes. We also used the Instagram and Facebook post tools to do an additional drawing for customers. We were extremely pleased with the post engagement. Their support was top notch and we plan to use them again in the future.

Cons: Some of the user interface is difficult to navigate when building pages. Once we got it down, it was no problem.

Pros: I really like that you can customize the page for your customers when they enter giveaways. It makes it very true to the brand and colorful.

Cons: It's not as user friendly for coworkers whoever not as tech savy. A lot of trial and error.

Pros: Easy to use, fun and engaging contests that allow you to capture details of your clients as needed. They are fun and interactive giving you fun instant win contesting for your websites.

Cons: It can be cumbersome having to manually mange instant win prizing, ensuring it goes smooth. It would be better if the system had a way to "set and forget" the prizing vs. having to always adjust chances of winning. It does lack some automation entities that we are working around (example, entry exports, winner exports)

Pros: It's a great interactive tool that engages our audiences. I use it for specific programs and it works well for me.

Cons: Some of the functions are not as user friendly as I would like them to be.

Pros: thought it would be a simple way to get contests up with no coding.

Cons: it's not simple. Things don't work, the widgets are slow to load, UX is painful. Anything you might want to do requires an upgrade when it's already $99/month

Pros: Great templates ready to go. Powerful. Flexible.

Cons: Can be a bit tricky to use if you are looking for a lot of customization.

Pros: Ease of setting up campaigns and customization options.

Cons: Helpdesk articles seem to be outdated from before changes were made to the platform.

Pros: It's very easy to use, and flexible enough to do whatever we want.

Cons: You have to have a more advanced knowledge in order to pull of some things, but for straight forward application it covers a lot.

Pros: I loved how customizable we can make our contest process with ShortStack.

Cons: Sometimes the amount of options with design would get overwhelming.

Pros: The customizability really appealed, as I wanted to collect entries for large annual contests that submit photos, videos, or essays.

Cons: The interface for creating your campaigns is clunky and not intuitive. It's ok if you already have experience with web design (I use WordPress) or coding, but not easy enough for beginners.

Pros: I love how much support you get while using ShortSTack. [sensitive content hidden] is super awesome and was always able to help or show me how to use it. I never felt like I was bothering them.

Cons: The interface is a little hard to navigate and so I am glad they have templates. I just feel like the user experience could be easier and not allow so much so less is messed up while running a contest.

Pros: Easy to set up, run, track, and export data.

Cons: Pricing for what we got out of it. Did not get the responses like we hoped for.
