Rafflecopter or Gleam?

Hey everyone. :)

I'm a blogger who regularly runs giveaways. Up until now I have used Rafflecopter, but with my latest giveaway I'm giving Gleam a try.

I'm a comper myself and prefer Gleam as it's alot easy to enter, but I wanted to gauge which you all prefer so I can better serve you all. :)

  • I don't enter RC comps at all ... doesn't matter what the prize is, I avoid them like the plague.
  • Rafflecopter drives me mad... unless it's a really awesome prize then i don't bother with them... i like gleam though, as easy and quick to enter x

    I prefer Gleam but only if there aren't dozens of ways to enter. Five is about my limit.
  • Gleam is my preferred entry method as a comper so I use it to host my blog's giveaways - although some people complain it's easier to cheat on.

    I prefer Gleam because it does it all for you, but I really don't mind Rafflecopter either, as long as it's not millions of different things to do.

    I prefer gleam, rafflecopters are too buggy, and the fact it can't remember who I've followed on twitter half the time drives me barmy

    I like both. The only downside of gleam is you cannot see what you are retweeting until you have retweeted. For all you know you could have retweeted something rude like 'I am a ******* *******! :D

  • Neither I don't enter any comps that involve rafflecopter or gleam. Too many shares, tweets and giving away your first born to win a can of beans. So usually avoid all of them.
    August-September 2017: Lots of stuff :)

    I love entering blog competitions and enjoy reading the reviews of the products I am entering to win, whether it is a gleam or rafflecopter entry. I am happy to enter both. Bloggers do work hard but don't get enough merit for their time and effort. I think they do a wonderful job and I appreciate their efforts :)
