Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best Instagram giveaway picker in 2026?+
It depends on your giveaway. PickAWin (pickawin.app) is a pay-per-draw option, especially for people who used Rafflecopter (rafflecopter.com shut down on October 1, 2025). Every result shows a random seed and SHA-256 hashes; automatic draws get a public result page whose hash can be checked at /verificar. The manual mode (paste the comment list) is free; automatic fetch from a post link starts at US$ 7.99 per draw.
How do I run a giveaway on Instagram?+
1) Post your giveaway with product photo, rules, and hashtag. 2) Ask followers to comment or tag friends. 3) When it closes, paste the post URL in PickAWin (paid automatic fetch) or paste the comment list (free). 4) Set your filters (required mentions, hashtag, duplicates, how many winners). 5) Click Pick Winners โ the result shows the seed and SHA-256 hashes and comes with a PDF certificate.
Is PickAWin a good Rafflecopter alternative?+
For comment giveaways, yes. Rafflecopter charged subscription fees ($13โ$74/month), while PickAWin is a one-time payment per automatic draw (no recurring) with a free manual mode. Every PickAWin result is recorded with SHA-256 hashes, and there are English, Spanish and Portuguese versions. Automatic fetch works with Instagram; other networks work by pasting the comment list.
How is PickAWin different from Gleam.io or ViralSweep?+
Gleam and ViralSweep are enterprise marketing platforms with monthly fees ($97โ$500+/mo) and complex setup. PickAWin is a giveaway picker โ pay per automatic draw (from US$ 7.99, one-time) or free in manual mode, with SHA-256 hashes on every result. A fit for creators and small businesses who only need the draw.
Do I need to install anything?+
No. PickAWin runs entirely in your browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, mobile). Zero installation, no Chrome extension, no desktop app.
Can I export the winner list?+
Every draw comes with a PDF certificate showing the SHA-256 hash; automatic draws also get a public result page. Whether it satisfies a regulator (Procon, ASA, FTC or similar) depends on your rules and jurisdiction.
How many winners can I pick at once?+
Several. You can pick more than one winner in the same draw; the same SHA-256 record covers all of them.
Does it work with Reels and IGTV, not just posts?+
Instagram feed posts, Reels and carousels can be fetched automatically from their link (paid per draw). For other networks (YouTube, TikTok, X, Facebook, Kwai, Threads) paste the comment list in the free manual mode.
