Rafflecopter Alternatives to Host Giveaways

June 17, 2013 By Nwosu Desmond 36 Comments

Rafflecopter is a great giveaway hosting platform. Hosting giveaways is a great means of exposing your blog and creating viral contents. Giveaways can promote a blog and turn an unknown blog into a popular one, people like giveaways, we can also use giveaways to rewards our readers for their dedication to visiting our blog. Recently I hosted a giveaway on this blog and three winners emerged, I sure hope to host another soonest.

I have also noticed that most bloggers use only Rafflecopter to host giveaways so I decided to share some Rafflecopter alternatives to host giveaways on this post, variety they say is the spice of life. So check out the Rafflecopter alternatives I am going to share here and use them to effectively host giveaways and promote your blog.

Rafflecopter alternatives:

Giveaway Tools: Giveaway Tools is a web application that creates an embeddable entry-form used for promotions & giveaways. Giveaway Tools is integrated with Social media tools that helps one to promote his social media pages and profiles via a giveaway, feedburner email subscription that helps you grow your email subscribers, RSS subscription and even “Make your own entry” option etc. This tool is indeed a good Rafflecopter alternative you should consider when next you are hosting a giveaway.

    Rafflecopter and Punchtab were the awesome giveaway widgets that I know. Rafflecopter will be the best if one want to promote his giveaway daily on social networks. Whereas Punchtab is the best to refer more people to enter in the giveaway. But I haven’t tried and used Promosimple.

  15. Nwosu Mavtrevor says

    June 17, 2013 at 3:21 pm

    Thanks Ryan for your contribution, yes a good and well hosted giveaway can shoot a blog into the limelight and could be the game changer you dream of in blogging.

  16. Nwosu Mavtrevor says

    June 17, 2013 at 3:24 pm

    I am considering Punchtab for my next giveaway, just as you said PunchTab improves entrants into a contest more than Rafflecopter, though such feature only exist as a premium feature on Rafflecopter.

    Hello Nwosu,
    I am a total novice when it comes to giveaway. I have never done it before but very soon, i will be venturing the rout. thanks for the useful information do have a blessed week :)

    Hey bro,
    Good to know about these alternatives
    I started off with rafflecopter but soon got so attracted to punchtab because of some of its unique features. The unique link and point reward feature helps you get more traffic as participants help pull hits to their referral link. Though this too constitute a source of link spamming, I’m still studying it out carefully.

    I have also been on giveawaytools but still to use it
    promosimple is what I just found here on the list. I may have time to check it closer

    Thanks for the list bro

    I want to embed the Google + feature into the giveaway. Do any of these use Google + or just Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter?

    I’m so happy that I came across with your article. I used rafflecopter in my first giveaway (free version) and was not what I expected. I will try Punchtab to see how it works.

    You can use Rafflecopter, Woobox, Punchtab, Promosimple and Giveaway Tools with GiveawayFrenzy and get even more social shares by locking your giveaway before they even enter it. So depending on which tool you use you can get more out of it.

    Hey Nwosu, would be awesome if you could add Gleam.io to the list :)
