A budget-friendly contest platform with branded forms, social actions, and winner selection.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
PromoSimple is a web-based promotion platform for bloggers, small businesses, brands, and agencies. It supports branded giveaway and contest entry forms, social-network and email actions, website and Facebook embedding, and promotion through its Giveaways Network. Campaign types include giveaways, sweepstakes, contests, polls, surveys, quizzes, and refer-a-friend campaigns. Users can choose random or manual winners, apply age and location restrictions, moderate entries, and view real-time reports with CSV exports.
The plan structure covers entry-level campaigns through more customized promotions. The Free Plan includes Facebook and Twitter entry options, entry form designs, real-time reporting, and random or manual winner selection. Basic costs $19 per month or $171 per year and adds custom fields, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter entries, Official Rules generation, and age and location restrictions. Businesses costs $39 per month or $351 per year and adds email marketing integrations, Refer-a-Friend entries, confirmation and thank-you messaging, and customizable entry form design. Premium costs $79 per month or $711 per year and adds a Facebook and web page designer, HTML/CSS design, white labeling, and Google Analytics integration. The published plans also show a $14-per-month annual entry price.
PromoSimple fits teams that want branded campaigns without moving beyond a web-based tool. Its combination of forms, social actions, polls, quizzes, winner selection, moderation, reporting, and embedding gives smaller campaigns a broad set of mechanics. MailChimp, Campaign Monitor, Constant Contact, Mad Mimi, and Google Analytics are listed integrations. The trade-off is narrower social coverage and a more limited integration set than leading platforms. Choose PromoSimple for budget-conscious giveaways and straightforward contest campaigns; choose an alternative if broader social network or ecosystem coverage is central to the campaign.
