Social Media Contests
Social media contest software that verifies every entry
Run one contest across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Facebook, Spotify, Twitch, and LinkedIn. Actions are API- or AI-verified, bots are screened out before they reach your list, and referral leaderboards turn every entrant into a promoter.

Where a network exposes an API, we check the action against it directly. Where it does not — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube — entrants submit proof and AI verifies the screenshot matches the required action. Either way, an entry only counts once it is confirmed.

Comment-to-enter
The classic social contest: entrants comment on your post to qualify. Pull the comment list, strip duplicates and bots, and draw a verified winner.
Follow, like & tag
Stack multi-platform actions with point values so following on three networks is worth more than a single like — and each one is actually checked.
UGC photo & video contests
Collect photos, videos, and testimonials with automatic usage-rights capture, then run public voting or judge entries yourself.
Hashtag contests
Ask entrants to post with your hashtag and submit proof. AI screenshot verification confirms the post exists before the entry counts.
Referral leaderboard contests
Every entrant gets a unique link and climbs a live leaderboard. Milestone rewards at 3, 10, and 25 referrals turn one post into compounding reach.
Instant win & spin-to-win
Give entrants an immediate result instead of a two-week wait — spin-to-win, scratch-and-win, and mystery box formats keep completion rates high.
Launch a social contest in four steps
Pick your platforms
Choose which social networks the contest runs on. Mix Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, and the rest in a single campaign.
Set entry actions & points
Assign point values per action so the behaviour you care about most is worth the most. Every action is API- or AI-verified.
Launch & let it spread
Share one contest link. Referral mechanics and the live leaderboard get entrants promoting it across their own feeds.
Draw winners & sync your list
Pick winners from fraud-screened entries, then push verified entrants straight into Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Kit, or 10 other platforms.
Blitz Rocket vs. typical social contest tools
Most contest apps take entrants at their word and stop at the winner draw. Verification, fraud screening, referral mechanics, and email sync are included in every Blitz Rocket plan rather than sold as add-ons.

CompareSocial media contest software FAQ
What is social media contest software?
Social media contest software runs the mechanics of a contest for you: it hosts the entry page, tracks who completed which actions on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, and other networks, blocks fraudulent entries, and draws a verifiable winner. Without it you are managing entries in a spreadsheet and taking every entrant at their word.
Can one contest run across multiple social platforms at once?
Yes. In Blitz Rocket a single campaign can require a TikTok follow, an Instagram comment, a YouTube subscribe, and an X repost, each worth a different number of points. Entrants complete them on one page rather than jumping between separate contests per network.
How do you verify that entrants actually completed the actions?
It depends on what the platform allows. X, Spotify, and Twitch expose APIs, so those actions are verified directly against the platform. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn restrict that access, so entrants submit screenshot proof and AI checks it against the required action before the entry counts.
How do you stop bots and fake entries?
Every entry runs through AI fraud detection that flags disposable email domains, duplicate IPs and devices, self-referrals, and bot-like completion patterns before the entry reaches your list or the winner draw. It is included on every plan, not gated to a higher tier.
Do I need to worry about platform contest rules?
Yes, and they differ by network. Instagram and Facebook require you to acknowledge that the promotion is not sponsored or endorsed by Meta, and you cannot ask people to tag themselves in photos they are not in. Contests should also include official rules and eligibility terms — our free rules generator drafts those for you.
How much does social media contest software cost?
Most contest tools start around $29–$49/month, with fraud protection, API access, and referral mechanics commonly reserved for tiers several times that. Blitz Rocket starts at $19/month with verified actions, the referral engine, fraud screening, and email sync in every plan.
Can I pick a winner from post comments without running a full contest?
Yes. Our free comment picker tools pull comments from a public Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit, or Threads post, filter duplicates, and draw a random winner. No account required — they are useful when you just need a fair draw rather than a full campaign.
