Landing pages are just the start. ShortStack does what Leadpages can't.
Leadpages builds landing pages. ShortStack builds campaigns. If all you need is a static page, Leadpages does that well. But if you want contests, quizzes, instant win games, built-in email follow-up, entry management, and anti-fraud tools on top of beautiful landing pages, ShortStack is the complete picture.
How ShortStack and Leadpages compare
Leadpages is a solid landing page builder — focused, conversion-optimized, and easy to use. ShortStack builds equally polished landing pages and layers in everything Leadpages doesn't offer: contests, quizzes, email tools, anti-fraud, and entry management.

Contests, quizzes, instant win, photo voting, refer-a-friend, hashtag entry, and more are all native to ShortStack.

Why marketing teams choose ShortStack
“Setting up a professional-looking campaign that collects data and enables remarketing is surprisingly fast with ShortStack. We've used it to collect entries, run survey questions, and drive social media engagement — all of which has led to real brand awareness and new customer acquisition.”
“After 4+ years as a loyal customer with dozens of promotions deployed, I appreciate ShortStack's reliability and consistent platform innovation — but most of all the absolute commitment to customer support. It goes above and beyond, and that's a rare thing.”
“ShortStack was able to provide a turnkey solution that scales for our volume and meets our legal requirements, which is most important.”
