Looking for a Gleam alternative?
Meet Revup.
Gleam charges you per app. Revup gives you sweepstakes, contests, forms, surveys, quizzes, email, and SMS in one $99/month plan — plus the Revup Intelligence platform and promotion features no other platform has.
Choose Gleam if you're a creator or small blogger running lightweight social giveaways and want 100+ social entry actions. Choose Revup if you're a brand, agency, or ecommerce team that wants every promotion type (sweepstakes, forms, quizzes, surveys, instant win) plus email, SMS, and Revup Intelligence (CDP) — all for one $99/month price.
Revup vs Gleam at a glance
Side-by-side on the things that actually matter when choosing a promotion platform.
Gleam pricing vs Revup pricing
Gleam prices each app separately — while Revup is one unified subscription with every feature included.
Different features gated at different prices. All apps are priced separately unless bundled together. See pricing.
Every feature included on all plans — pricing scales by profiles and email/SMS sends per month. 20% off annual. 7-day free trial. See pricing.
Features you won't find on Gleam — or any other sweepstakes platform
These aren't surface-level features. They're the capabilities that separate a sweepstakes tool from a platform that runs your entire promotional program.
Abandoned form tracking
See exactly who started filling out your form but didn't finish — and recover them automatically with email and SMS follow-ups.
Partial submission recovery
Submissions save automatically. Participants pick up right where they left off — no need to start over. Nobody else does this.
Auto-translation with live updates
Every promotion automatically translated into 36 languages. Edit your English copy once and every language updates in real time. Gleam supports 28 languages but each translation is manual.
Automated drawings with alternates
Draw winners per prize with alternates queued behind them. If a winner can't claim, the next alternate automatically takes the prize.
Revassist AI support
An AI chat embedded directly in your promotion answers entrant questions about rules, entries, and prizes — so your team doesn't have to.
Revup Intelligence platform
Every participant builds a unified profile — entries, referrals, social actions, purchases, LTV — all connected. A real CDP, not a list of rows.
When Gleam is still the better choice
We're not going to pretend every team needs Revup. Gleam is a fit when:
- You're an individual creator or small blogger running simple follow/retweet giveaways.
- You need obscure social actions that Revup hasn't built yet (Twitch, Discord, Steam, SoundCloud deep integrations).
- Your budget is under $29/month and you don't need forms, surveys, quizzes, email, or SMS.
If any of that is you, Gleam will serve you well. If you're a brand running promotions as part of a real marketing program — with compliance, data, and messaging that need to actually work together — keep reading.

Frequently asked questions
The most common things teams want to know before switching.
Yes. Revup is built for brands, agencies, and DTC teams that outgrow Gleam's creator-focused apps. You get sweepstakes, contests, forms, surveys, quizzes, email, and SMS in a single $99/month plan — plus features no other platform has like abandoned form tracking, partial submission tracking, auto-translation with live updates across 36 languages, automated winner drawings with alternates, and Revup Intelligence.
Revup starts at $99/month with every feature included. Gleam's Full Package Bundle starts at $119/month and charges per app ($29-$49+ each), with higher tiers running $149-$399 per app per month for more advanced features.
Revup ships abandoned form tracking, partial submission recovery, live auto-translation (Gleam supports 28 languages but maintains them manually), automated winner drawings with alternates, Revassist AI support embedded in every form, and the Revup Intelligence platform — features that do not exist in Gleam. Both platforms auto-generate official rules.
Yes. Revup includes 24 preset themes, a custom CSS editor, full typography and layout controls, and custom domains — so your campaign looks native to your brand instead of like a third-party landing page.
