The subscription is not the cost of a sweepstakes. The prize, the official rules, the registration where a territory requires it, the winner contact and the delivery are the cost — and in all four of these apps every one of them stays with you.
Sweepsy charges no monthly fee. The terms are agreed with you on one call before anything launches, and the plan billed through Shopify is published in full.
Read the billing termsGiveaway Ninja is the best-rated app of the four: 5.0 from 88 reviews since April 2020, and reviewers keep naming the person who helped them. It connects to more tools than Sweepsy does today — ActiveCampaign, Campaign Monitor, Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Omnisend, Zapier and webhooks, against our two native connections. It has a free plan that is genuinely usable, reCAPTCHA and a tracking pixel, refer-a-friend, social actions and stacked entry rules. If you want to run your own giveaways and keep them in your hands, it is a very good choice and nothing on this page argues otherwise.
See their Shopify listingTheir plans are metered by monthly users: 50 free, then 500, 2,000 and 5,000. The better your campaign performs, the more the tool costs — and the prize is still yours to buy on top of that. Sweepsy charges no monthly fee, its cost does not rise with entrants, and the prize comes from the pool.
Their listing offers compliance features: entry routes, email confirmation, fair selection, photo submissions. Those are features you configure. Sweepsy drafts the official rules for each campaign, publishes them for every shopper, and handles registration and bonding with you. That is a document and a service rather than a setting, and it is the honest difference between the two.
Sweepsy freezes and hashes the entry list before the draw and runs it once from a sealed seed, so any customer can replay the draw and get the same winner. That proof is the part an app cannot hand you, because it needs somebody standing behind it.

We agree the prize, the scope and the terms. If the pool is not right for you, we say so.
Accept your invitation and open your campaign, entries, rules and winners in one place.
We draft and publish the rules, connect your store and your email tools, and run the draw.
No. Sweepsy is invite only and we review every request by hand. You tell us about your store and your campaign, we talk it through on one call, and your workspace opens after that. If the pool is not right for your store, we say so.
Sweepsy drafts the official rules for each campaign, publishes them for every shopper to read, and handles registration and bonding with you where a territory requires it. Our Prize Desk contacts the winner and delivers the prize.
Yes. The entry list is frozen and hashed before the draw runs, and the draw runs once from a sealed seed. Anyone can replay it at trysweepsy.com/verify and get the same winner.
No. Every campaign includes a free entry route hosted by Sweepsy. Free and purchase tickets join the same draw pool with the same chance per ticket, and each campaign's official rules state eligibility and entry limits.
Both are true and they are different things. Giveaway Ninja gives you compliance features you configure — entry routes, confirmation, fair selection. Sweepsy drafts the official rules for your campaign, publishes them for every shopper to read, and handles registration and bonding with you where a territory requires it. Features against a document and a service. Nothing on this page says their app is not compliant.
Yes. A Sweepsy campaign is one large draw with a pooled prize and its own published rules. Plenty of brands run their own small giveaways in an app alongside it, and the two do not collide.
Sweepsy is invite only and we review every request by hand. If an app like Giveaway Ninja is the better answer for where your store is today, we will say so on the call.
