Woobox Pricing, Features, Reviews and Alternatives

I am using woobox almost on daily basis for marketing campaigns, award management, photo contests and conducting polls / Voting competitions. Woobox can easily integrate with other softwares and provides excellent solutions and results for each campaigns and task.

Woobox has all the necessary features the only thing which needs little attention is more features and functions requires in free version.

Value for money. I couldn't find another video contest platform that offered the same features for this price. Some companies want to charge $500 a month for unlimited entries, where Woobox gives you that for $32 per month. (The videos have to be hosted on third-party sites, which was absolutely fine by me.) Overall, the UI was pretty usable. There were a few gotchas, but when I did get stuck, support was responsive and helpful.

Woobox is basically a widget that you embed in your site, with its own very basic navbar. If you want nicer integration with your site, such as providing your own navigation to the entry form and gallery, it's not so easy. (One workaround is to use the JS method to embed one, and the iframe method to embed the other.) Gallery customisation is limited. You can add all the options you want to the entry...

It LOOKED easy to use and implement and apparently has lots of customization...not that I can verify this, mind you.

There is absolutely no way of knowing exactly what the software can do unless you buy the thing. The fact that their "Free Trial" consists of allowing an Admin to set up a basic campaign doesn't allow for any user testing prior to handing over the bank account info. BAD USER EXPERIENCE When I wrote to their sales team to say I was considering buying the second to highest level plan, but that I needed to demo it to my execs and team so needed a short trial of the fully functional software, I was told point blank, "No."

Woobox has a pretty easy integration with Socials which is wonderful for hosting contest online. I work for a company, Select Blinds, that sells window treatments online and services the 48 contiguous United States. It was great for data collection and I love that they have a free version to test out the program before you buy.

Woobox is much more limited within the Free, Basic and Standard packages. To truly unlock it's capabilities, you would have to subscribe to the Advanced or Power packages. I didn't like that the contests were limited to 1000 participants a month. If you're running a larger contest, it's a bit frustrating to have a cut off for collecting their data. However, I found a competitor who's contest/ sweepstakes set up was much smoother and didn't give me a participant threshold.

I like to run several giveaways per quarter to bring brand awareness, and Woobox has been a favorite platform for many years. It is simple to set up, customize, and track analytics, and there are different plans with more features depending on your marketing goals. Integration is easy on Facebook, websites, or you can opt for a stand alone landing page. The viral sharing options offer a very quick way to build email lists and extend the reach of your message. Woobox does not stop at sweepstakes- it can be configured for polls, voting contests, and much more.

Some of my giveaway participants in the past complained about Woobox not correctly tracking their entries. This can be considered a small problem for a business owner (especially with thousands of overall successful entrants) but would be something to look out for if transparency with customers is desired. The pricing can be steep depending on which features you desire.
