Gleam
Chose Gleam
Gleam is much better than Woobox, even though the latter have better pricing tiers.
Chose Gleam
It was a long time ago that I tried Rafflecopter, but I remember Gleam having better or more features than them.
KingSumo
Chose KingSumo
I think it is apples and oranges. Kingsumo has a purpose and sets out on an easy path to get you to where you need to be. Other test management software, in my opinion, have gimmicks to them, and what I am looking for in the small business world I am in is simplicity and ease. …

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

When I first started my business, I wanted to ensure that a lot of people understood who we were and why we were there. With KingSumo, it helped my business turn leads into loyal followers of our brand. I think in the world we live in, you have a short amount of time to try to win over the eyes of your prospective client, and the tools given to me by this software helped me immensely. Conversely, I think I should say while it was easy for us to learn this software and how to feel good about implementing it in our day to day lives, I think that some newer users to software such as this may be fearful of learning a software without a proper video tutorial.

Cons
  • 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.

  • Limited features on lesser plans
  • The "no video tutorial" can be hard for some users
  • Occasional glitchyness, but nothing not dealt with on other software

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.
