Why this matters for bookstores
Bookstores typically run giveaways with 50-500 comments. Monthly subscriptions don't make sense — you'd pay $120-360/year for a tool you use 2-3 times/month. Per-draw pricing is 80-95% cheaper over a year. And cryptographic proof of fairness matters when a sponsor or customer questions the result.
Verdict for bookstores
For bookstores, the math is clear: PickAWin (free under 100 comments + $1.90-$8.90 per big draw) is cheaper and more fair than any subscription-based tool.
