KingSumo Reviews & Product Details

Very simple to use, took me just 10 minutes to get my contest up and running. Integrates with SendFox to allow for easy email followup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, it worked perfectly when I used it and I'd consider upgrading to the paid plan if I ran lots of competitions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

KingSumo is an easy-to-use giveaway software that lets you increase your newsletter subscriber count and social media followers. I like that it is simple to understand and to set up a giveaway. You add a description, an image, and then connect the actions you'd like people to do to gain entries. What I like most about it is that it requires people to do the steps and it confirms that they did it. For example, to follow you on Twitter. Other giveaway software will ask a person to click in order to follow, but all it does is load your Twitter page; it doesn't confirm that they followed you. So they close the tab, go back to the giveaway, and earn the entry. KingSumo confirms they followed, so you know you're getting your money's worth with the giveaway.

I dislike that there are so few social media connections. I'd like them to add more functionality to different platforms. And I want them to add in more advanced types of giveaways and contests beyond a random draw. Make it more like Gleam or Perkzilla, yet keep it easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is likely one of the easier platforms to start a giveaway. Easy to set up a contest and you can get rewarded for referring friends! Easily automated recurring email system that can be configured nicely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lots of KingSumo branding on giveaway pages, widgets, and emails. The giveaway is even on their own domain! No custom domain support. And limited features based on a tiered system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the dashboard and user interface of kingsumo which is neat and clean Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are many things which put the limitations such as-

1. no double opt-in

2. no drag and drop page builder

3. no campaign sharing as template

4. no detailed overview of leads

and many more Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that all the rules are all written for you. They have an excellent choice of possibilities like Facebook, Instagram, and others, which I was looking for Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I tried to make my campaign, I had some trouble with the forms, and there was some glitch with the picture when I was trying to delete them, they kept coming back, and I had to redo everything again and again and ended up with 10 x the same picture. I had to start from the beginning. I could not see from which country the person who signed up for the giveaway came from, which I wouldn't say I liked because my giveaway was for only Canada and the USA. I could see a lot of emails ending with (.ru) which is from Russia. When I tried to make some changes to the Giveaway to remove some items, it did remove the thing I deleted but replicated other things already there, which did not help. I finally canceled my giveaway and had to give free items to the people who had already entered the giveaway to make them happy. Waste of money and time on my side.

I like how this integrates with our email service- ConvertKit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no way to have them fill in a field in the free version at least. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

KingSumo was a really easy tool for our entire marketing team to use every time we needed to do a giveaway. Creating the giveaway experience was simple and keeping track of how many entries people have is a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not sure if this could be fixed by KingSumo, but sometimes the giveaway tasks were very hard to track down if the person actually completed it or not. They would get the points for clicking but we would still have to double-check. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

King sumo is a software that helps you run contests and it does the job perfectly for me. I like how easy it is to set up and I especially like how people who enter can get more entries by sharing my contest, extending the reach and leading to more email addresses for me. I also like how selecting the winner is automated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a simply tool and not very sophisticated. While it's more than enough for my needs, if you're the kind of person who likes to run elaborate contests, then this might not be the best choice for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is fast, and easy to deploy. We used other web forms, SMS messaging and facebookmessaging to run contests in the past. This does not have all the flexiblity of creating your own contest from scratch but it is SOOOOOO fast and easy. After running dozens of lead gen contests I can say it was 90% as effective as what we were building on our own with 1/10th the work. I should also point out that support is awesome. I had a coupl quetions that were answered quickly and accurately, just like my other Sumo experiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

its pretty limited in terms of appearance, layout, colour, image sizing and you can not use GIF or video in the landing page. it does not do everything. But... if it did then it would not be fast and cheap either. This is NOT a deluxe solution but it is a very effective simple solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Incredibly easy to use. Just fill in the details and share. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would like option to add more entries for email signups Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
