Gleam
From $29/mo (single app)Gleam is a competition platform that helps businesses run giveaways, contests, and competitions across social media.
Best for: Simple social giveaways on a budget
- Comprehensive suite of marketing apps (Competitions, Rewards, Captures, Galleries)
- Decade-long track record with a deep catalog of entry actions and integrations
- Affordable entry-level pricing for single-app use
- Full-package pricing is extremely expensive ($479–$1,199/month)
- Referral features are bonus-entry focused and split across Viral Share and the separate Rewards app rather than one unified milestone/leaderboard engine
- Actions are neutered by official developer plugins — for example, you're not allowed to incentivize an Instagram follow. Blitz Rocket uses AI vision analysis instead of direct app integrations, so these types of actions are allowed
