More campaigns, more customization, more ways to grow
Woobox runs contests. ShortStack builds complete campaign experiences with richer formats, stronger anti-fraud tools, deeper analytics, and support that shows up.
How ShortStack and Woobox compare

Comparison based on publicly listed plans and features as of 2026. Woobox has operated since 2010 and covers core contest formats; it does not offer native email autoresponders or an anti-fraud suite at any tier. ShortStack plan prices shown are monthly.
Deeper campaigns. More options.
Both platforms start at the same entry price, but ShortStack gives you more plans to grow into — making it the platform that actually scales with you.
Anti-fraud that actually protects you
ShortStack's Scale plan includes reCAPTCHA, entry fraud filters, country-based limits, and disposable-email blocking. Woobox offers no equivalent at any tier.
Built-in email — no add-ons needed
Autoresponders and follow-up emails are native to every ShortStack paid plan, so you can thank entrants and nurture leads right out of the box.
Analytics that go deeper
ShortStack's Scale and Max plans offer high-level and full campaign analytics — tracking performance, conversions, and entry data in real time.
Richer campaign formats
Points for actions, code redemption and distribution, multi-prize instant win, and UGC rights management are all built into ShortStack.
Stronger social media tools
ShortStack imports comments from Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram, supports Instagram hashtag entry, and offers full UGC rights management.
Support you can actually reach
ShortStack offers live onboarding, live chat during business hours, and email support 365 days a year.
Comparable starting price. Far more included.
Both platforms offer free plans and paid tiers starting under $30/mo. But ShortStack's plans include email tools, richer analytics, anti-fraud features, and social integrations that Woobox doesn't offer.
All plans include unlimited landing pages, pop-ups, and campaigns. Annual billing saves 2 months on every plan.
No native email tools at any tier. Custom HTML/CSS requires the Pro plan ($79/mo). Anti-fraud tools are not available.
Why marketers choose ShortStack over Woobox
“I love how easy and quick you can set up a very professional looking site that allows you to collect important data and re-market to those who enter.”
“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.”
“Easy to use and learn, doesn't require any coding knowledge, and offers a great selection of design themes to suit our brand. Built-in lead collection and email follow-up made all the difference.”
“I run several giveaways per quarter to build brand awareness. ShortStack is simple to set up, customize, and track analytics — and there are plans with more features depending on your marketing goals.”
Same starting price. Completely different depth.
ShortStack and Woobox both start affordably — but only ShortStack includes email tools, anti-fraud protection, and deep analytics across its plans.
