FAQ

Questions before you start

What's included in the free plan?
Sweepstakes, quizzes, pop-ups, unlimited landing pages and forms, comment import from Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, Instagram hashtag entry, and integrations, with up to 500 campaign views a month and 200 stored entries. No credit card needed, and you can upgrade whenever you're ready.
What happens if I go over my plan’s limits?
On a paid plan, your campaigns keep running. We never take them offline. Extra views and entries are billed at the end of your billing period, and we email you before you reach your allowance, when you reach it, and when you go over, so you can upgrade instead. On the Free plan, campaigns may show more ShortStack branding and stop accepting entries until you upgrade or your next period starts.
Is it legal to run a giveaway?
Giveaways are legal in most places when they’re run properly, and the details depend on where your entrants live and what you’re giving away. A sweepstakes generally needs official rules and a free way to enter. For prizes up to $500, the free Rules Generator drafts official rules for you. For bigger prizes, check with a lawyer.
How do you stop fake or duplicate entries?
Every plan blocks disposable email addresses and lets you limit how often each person can enter. Scale and Max add Google reCAPTCHA and an entry fraud filter that flags suspicious entries, and Max can require entrants to verify their email before they enter.
Where can my campaigns run?
On a landing page we host for you, embedded on your website, or as a pop-up on your site. You can also collect entries from Instagram hashtags and from Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube comments. On Max, you can host campaigns on your own domain.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel whenever you like and you keep your plan until the end of the period you've paid for. After that your account moves to the Free plan, and everything you built stays in it, so when your next promotion comes around you can upgrade and run it again without rebuilding. Taking a break instead? You can pause your subscription.
