The subscription is not the cost of a sweepstakes. The prize, the official rules, the registration where a territory requires it, the winner contact and the delivery are the cost — and in all four of these apps every one of them stays with you.
Sweepsy charges no monthly fee. The terms are agreed with you on one call before anything launches, and the plan billed through Shopify is published in full.
Read the billing termsPineRaffle is by a long way the cheapest of the four and it carries the Built for Shopify badge. Purchase-based entries, per-product ticket values, a storefront widget and Klaviyo notifications all arrive for $9.99 a month, and it installs in an afternoon with no call and no approval. For a first test with a prize out of your own stock, it is the right tool and Sweepsy is not. Plenty of brands should start here.
See their Shopify listingThis is a sequence, not a fight. You proved the mechanic works for $9.99. Sweepsy brings brands into a shared campaign. BFCM26 has a planned $100,000 shared prize pool, rather than a separate prize funded by each store.
A raffle also creates obligations the widget does not carry: official rules, a free entry route, a winner who has to be contacted, and a prize that has to arrive. Sweepsy drafts and publishes the rules for each campaign and its Prize Desk delivers the prize.
PineRaffle runs one raffle at a time until the $39.99 Pro plan. Sweepsy runs one campaign properly rather than several at once, so this is a difference in shape as much as in price.

We agree the prize, the scope and the terms. If the pool is not right for you, we say so.
Accept your invitation and open your campaign, entries, rules and winners in one place.

No. Sweepsy is invite only and we review every request by hand. You tell us about your store and your campaign, we talk it through on one call, and your workspace opens after that. If the pool is not right for your store, we say so.
Sweepsy drafts the official rules for each campaign, publishes them for every shopper to read, and handles registration and bonding with you where a territory requires it. Our Prize Desk contacts the winner and delivers the prize.
Yes. The entry list is frozen and hashed before the draw runs, and the draw runs once from a sealed seed. Anyone can replay it at trysweepsy.com/verify and get the same winner.
No. Every campaign includes a free entry route hosted by Sweepsy. Free and purchase tickets join the same draw pool with the same chance per ticket, and each campaign's official rules state eligibility and entry limits.
The proof does. You know what a raffle does to your order volume and your list, and that is what the call starts from. Entry data does not transfer — a Sweepsy campaign runs its own draw under its own published rules, and mixing entry lists would break the draw anyone can replay.
Often, yes. Sweepsy is built around one large campaign with a prize a single store could not fund, and it is invite only for that reason. If your store is small and your prize is one of your own products, an app like PineRaffle is the better fit and we will say so.
Sweepsy is invite only and we review every request by hand. If an app like PineRaffle is the better answer for where your store is today, we will say so on the call.
