Gleam vs Votigo | TrustRadius

Likelihood to Recommend

Gleam is a great way to connect with a broader audience and be discovered by new people who otherwise may never hear of your brand. If your promotion is picked up by the sweepstakes sites and communities, there's a chance that the people drawn to your brand won't be the right ones, but Gleam is a wonderful solution for driving up your social follower numbers.

If you want a fully integrated and customized solution Votigo is the way to go. But it is not a cheap or fast option. If you can work within the self service template it can be a fast, inexpensive option.

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.

I wish we had more flexibility with the design options like CSS and HTML at the lower cost self service option.
I wish the API option was less expensive or had more flexabilty in the design
Please remove the Votigo branding for the self service solution. I would be willing to pay more but not a lot more.

Votigo 7.0

Based on 1 answer

For a custom or API implementation I think it is a great option and they have great customer service. The self service option is too rigid and I need more application options and design customization

Support Rating

Gleam 7.0

Based on 2 answers

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.

It was a long time ago that I tried Rafflecopter, but I remember Gleam having better or more features than them.

It is a great solution but I now see a lot of other products with more advanced reporting and lower costs.
