Gleam Competitions App Reviews

Gleam is a great app that is fairly easy to use. I was able to set up a competition quickly. I did not read anywhere that, with the free version, I would only be able to see a small fraction of the total number of users/entries that were submitted to my competition. So when the time was up, I was only able to see a few and would have had to pay to see the rest. This is why I gave 4 stars. Otherwise, this is a pretty well built app!

Take a little bit to learn but well worth it. Definitely helped increase our social media following and email list. Worth trying out.

We have used them for a few years. I like it. Could use more features but works well. I would not be afraid to use it.

We utilize Gleam to run monthly giveaways for our community, and we love the platform! We've used it for several years now, and appreciate how easy it is to duplicate competitions as well as create new ones from scratch. Configuring entry methods and drawing winner(s) is super straightforward, too. Thanks, Gleam!

Gleam is the best! We use it for lots of different giveaways, we have use it for years for about 25 different campaigns and its always been perfect!

I've used Gleam in the past but I am enjoying the integration with Shopify. I do wish there were options to earn entries by doing things native in the Shopify store (For example: visiting a blog) but I understand that this can be accomplished through less direct means.

Gleam is definitely helping us ramp up our customer engagement and drive sales.

The only app you'll ever need for competitions and one of the best app dashboards available on Shopify. Support is excellent too! Thanks Stuart, we really appreciate your help!

The best review app we had ever used! The free feature does the job although you could get more with the paid subscription! Kodus to everyone in the team who worked hard to create this app and made for small businesses like us to use. It is not so many people out there who are willing to share this for free. Amazing app overall!

This giveaway app is the best out there. Period! So many great features and easy integrations. Everything you could ever want in a review app.

The app is good! Edit: The developer came back with useful information regarding free account: - On the Free plan you have access to choose random winners. If you want to choose Manual winners you’d need the Pro plan. - You can repick the winner on the Winners tablink - We don’t offer a spinning wheel, we just display the entry that won (on the same page as above). I will update the review after this campaign ends: https://www.vapearound.co.nz/pages/vape-around-giveaway

This app is a complete SCAM!!!! I signed up for the pro version which is a subscription charge of $49/mo. Then I get a bill for almost $200 USD for a month and it says on the bill "Up to $5000/mo of usage charges". I have NO idea how to set the maximum spend limit. I DO NOT want to be spending this much on this app. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

So far, its working great! Check it out in action and enter to win an awesome necktie at nicemodernmenswear.com/pages/giveaway

Really great giveaway app - other people are already very used to using Gleam, so a must for any brand looking to do giveaways.

They keep downgrading the benefits to plans, AFTER you paid for them Originally you were able to list 20+ entry methods on the base tier, then they lowered it to 15, and NOW it is 10. AGAIN, AFTER YOU ALREADY PAID FOR IT.

Love this! So easy to use and setup. I had a competition going in no time! Would highly recommend! Appalachian Emporium

Actually it is useless to my website. I installed it to post a giveaway, but it worked not well at all. It'll cost 158$ on my billing list.

I had been persisting with trying to use this app on the free plan but after much consideration ended up going to the Pro plan. $49USD a month seemed manageable. I then got notification that they had authorised a $5000 a month spending limit on the app on my shopify. What the HELL? There is no way I would authorise that much spending limit on the app. This feels super scammy - i've since requested account deletion and taken other steps to ensure I am not charged that much but what kind of app needs that level of account charges authorised?? The plans are super confusing and it costs way too much for any kind of useful app features. EDIT: Developers came back to me very quickly to refund the $49 charge and cancel our account. Something to do with their set up/billing system?

Unfortunately this app just requires plan upgrade after plan upgrade in order to get any real use from it. The final straw for me was not being able to use competition hashtag entries unless I upgraded to an almost $400USD / month plan! Until you upgrade to the next plans from the last plans (all payable immediately) you won't really know easily, what you are in for.

We use this app to help build a giveaway campaign and hope to test the redesigned widget. We really like the new look of it.
