Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Contestit is a web-based platform for creators, brands, small businesses, and agencies that run giveaways and social-media contests. It supports customizable rules, custom entry forms, comments, email sign-ups, likes, follows, tags, shares, referrals, quiz answers, and photo submissions. Campaign types include giveaways, sweepstakes, photo contests, quiz or trivia campaigns, spin-wheel campaigns, and referral campaigns. The platform also includes points, leaderboards, badges, moderation, winner notifications, analytics, and participant reporting.
The published plans show a free entry point and a seven-day free trial. Free costs $0 per month and includes basic points and spin-wheel features, with platform branding. Creator costs $15 per month and adds points and leaderboard features, winner-selection tools, and platform-brand removal. Pro costs $39 per month and adds an advanced analytics dashboard, multiple winner-selection methods, email templates and notifications, exports and CSV downloads, and priority support. This structure suits users who want to start without a subscription, then pay for branding control or deeper reporting as campaign needs grow.
Contestit connects with Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter/X, and Twitch, while remaining a web-only product. Its campaign tools cover both straightforward giveaways and more involved participation mechanics, including referrals, viral sharing, photo contests, quizzes, and spin wheels. Winner selection can be random, weighted, or based on top performance, and comment campaigns include duplicate removal and entry filtering. Creators remain responsible for giveaway legality, prize fulfillment, and participant communications. Contestit fits teams seeking affordable, gamified campaign management; organizations needing a broader verified social footprint or a non-web platform should consider another option.
