ContactPigeon vs Wishpond

Likelihood to Recommend

Ideal for eCommerce. It is not the cheapest for a startup but one of the best for a scaling business.

It's a great platform if you're looking for something to run contests that provide leads and drive user engagement, but if they also incorporated social media management and scheduling, Wishpond would be a 10 by far. It's definitely worth looking into specifically for running contests throughout the year, for a wide variety of companies and industries.

Very small learning curve, thanks to wonderful real-time tutorials and help, and drag-and-drop editors.
Easy to navigate - there are only 3 main sections of the site (content, lists, and emails).
Excellent customer service. I've always gotten prompt answers to any questions I've had.

Cons

The UI is too complex sometimes (hopefully their support is always there for us!)

The drag and drop features can be a bit finicky, but nothing that hinders successfully creating campaigns.

ContactPigeon is built for eCommerce, while Mailchimp is super easy and a good fit for a smaller company. That's why we switched since we needed a more complete, all-in-one marketing automation solution to scale our online business.

Close.io Is a little bit trickier to figure out. I use both.

We saw a high ROI in terms of new followers on our Facebook pages as a result of the contests we ran, going up by an average of 100 followers per contest.
We also saw more followers on our other social platforms while contests were running, with an average of 25 additional followers on our Instagram and Twitter accounts that could be tied to the contests.
Finally, we also saw an uptick in tickets purchased for the next event around our contests, going up an average of 5%.
