Rafflecopter has proven to be a reliable choice for running giveaways, particularly when there are multiple types of entry involved. Users have found the platform easy to set up and appreciate its convenience for lead generation purposes. One common challenge in running giveaways directly through Instagram is the time-consuming process of managing entries. Rafflecopter offers a simpler alternative, eliminating the need to create spreadsheets and allowing users to easily manage their giveaways. Implementing contests is made simple and effortless with Rafflecopter, as users can sign up and select winners with minimal effort. Many users have specifically used Rafflecopter for social media giveaways, considering it one of the best platforms available for this purpose. Additionally, the affordability of Rafflecopter makes it accessible to a wide range of users who appreciate the difference it makes in how they run their giveaways.
Easy Setup: Many users have found the setup process of the product to be incredibly easy and straightforward. They appreciate how quickly they can get started with running contests without any hassle or complications.
Variety of Entry Actions: Users highly value the product's ability to offer a wide range of entry actions. This feature allows them to provide different ways for participants to engage and enter contests, resulting in increased participation and excitement.
Responsive Customer Service: The customer service provided by the product is consistently praised for its exceptional responsiveness. Users commend the fast, clear, and direct assistance they receive whenever they have questions or need support.
Missing API: Some users have expressed frustration over the lack of an API in the software, which limits its functionality and integration with other systems. They feel that having an API would greatly enhance their ability to customize and automate processes.
Outdated Knowledge Base Article: Several reviewers have mentioned that they are disappointed with the outdated information in the knowledge base article regarding the consideration of an API. These users indicate a lack of updates and progress on this front, which makes them question the commitment to improving the software.
Lack of Updated Integrated Email Service Providers: A number of users have pointed out that the list of integrated email service providers has not been updated for a long time. This suggests a lack of effort in keeping up with industry changes and advancements, making it difficult for businesses to connect with their preferred email marketing platforms.
Users commonly recommend the following:
- The system can be adapted to any business, providing equally good results for personal or corporate use.
- Utilize the system to reach more people and generate sign-ups for newsletters and marketing interaction.
- Start with the free trial and then become a user.
- Try the free version first to see if it suits your needs, and play around with it before going live.
Users emphasize the adaptability of the system, its marketing capabilities, and the importance of trying it out through a free trial period before committing.

Rafflecopter is great for a basic giveaway. Might not be enough for large business/enterprise needs.
We use Rafflecopter to host giveaways for select departments of our non-profit organization. Rafflecopter provides an easy to setup platform to quickly create a giveaway for lead generation. An example would be to giveaway a pair or running shoes.
- Easy to setup
- Provides a good variety of entry actions
- Has a simple end user interface
- Does not have an API. A knowledge base article saying they are considering one has was last updated 8 years ago.
- The list of integrated email service providers has not been updated in a very long time.
- Must login to download payment receipts--no emailed receipt.
- Refer a friend entry feature
- Multiple entry options on major social networks
- Entry by email list sign up
- Easy method of lead generation if you have the right prize
- Quick, easy setup that anyone can manage
- Woobox and ShortStack
Having used all three software platforms, I believe that both ShortStack and Woobox have surpassed Rafflecopter in terms of features set. It's been a few years since I've used Woobox and ShortStack so they may not be fully comparable any longer.

At the time of purchase, the single most important factor was price.
The next time we are looking for giveaway software, we need one that can integrate with our other platforms. This could be through direct integrations created by the company or through Zapier.

It was easy but very basic. No ability for customization.

I have asked support in the last year and they have said they do not have plans to support Zapier or HubSpot.

Rafflecopter use on FB by a small B2B company

- Fast, clear, and direct responsiveness of customer service.
- Step by step directions makes for easy contest implementation. Also Rafflecopter makes sure your contest is fully compliant with Facebook policies.
- Website is fast and easy to navigate. Viewing your contest and making changes is very easy.
- The ability to do multiple contests on the FB page, that are separate from one another. Or to have "special" type of contest that is useable for tradeshows. Whether or not the tradeshow contest is connected to FB.
- Once our contest was up and running, we had a hard time figuring out how to get more people to our contest page. We have a small group [less than 200] and besides just posting on FB, we couldn't get others to our page/contest! Maybe more ideas on how to achieve this? I suspect the info is already somewhere on the Rafflecopter blog, I just need to find it.
- The "More Upgrades' tag that vibrates at the bottom of the page from where you are working on your contest, gets annoying. I've bought the blogger level, please don't try to upgrade me further.
- While this wasn't a fault of Rafflecopter, the winner of our first contest turned out to be a FB contester. Meaning the person uses FB exclusively to enter contests for give-aways and freebies. When we picked the winner, if I could have "vetted" the winner to prevent that, then I would have picked a different winner. Cherry picking our winner? You bet, cause this person wasn't ever going to be a customer…
- Simply put with a 3 month contest we increased our page likes from 120 to 177.

The Marketing Department used Rafflecopter. Ideas and concepts were done as a team to come up with a contest idea, between the graphic designer, marketing director and the outbound marketing specialist. Once verbiage was decided, the graphic designer implemented the contest on the Facebook page. It was then the responsibility of the GD to manage and monitor the contest. Once the contest ended, again the GD picked and contacted the winner.
