Gleam.io Alternative Free for Instagram: PickAWin

PickAWin (pickawin.app, also Pick A Win) is a simple alternative for Instagram comment giveaways. The manual mode is free: paste the comment list (copied from the post) and draw in your browser, no signup, no size limit. Automatic comment fetching from an Instagram post or Reel link is a one-time payment per draw, from US$ 7.99 (price shown in your currency before paying). Gleam.io is a campaign platform with an account and plans — check their current pricing.

Gleam.io offers a limited free plan; check their site for the current limits. PickAWin's free option is the manual mode: paste the comments, draw, and get the result with the seed, SHA-256 hashes and a PDF certificate. Fetching comments automatically from the post link is paid per draw.

They do different jobs. Gleam.io is a campaign platform (entry widgets, integrations such as Mailchimp/Klaviyo, account required). PickAWin only picks winners from comments: no signup, one payment per automatic draw, no subscription, and a result with SHA-256 hashes you can check at /verificar. If you just need to draw a winner from a post, PickAWin is simpler; if you need entry forms and marketing integrations, Gleam.io fits better.

There is nothing to migrate: 1) Go to pickawin.app — no signup needed; 2) Paste the comment list for a free manual draw, or paste your Instagram post URL and pay once for automatic fetch; 3) Run the draw and share the result. Manage or cancel any Gleam.io plan in your Gleam.io account.

PickAWin (pickawin.app, Pick A Win) works without signup: no account, no password. Paste the comments (free) or the post URL (paid automatic fetch), draw, and get the PDF certificate. Automatic draws also get a public result page.

PickAWin charges per draw instead of per month: the manual mode is free, and automatic fetch from an Instagram link starts at US$ 7.99 per draw (larger posts cost more; the exact price is shown before paying). If you run only a few giveaways a year, paying per draw is usually cheaper than a monthly plan — compare with Gleam.io's current plans.

PickAWin (pickawin.app, Pick A Win) picks random winners from comments. Free in manual mode (paste the list); paid automatic fetch for Instagram posts and Reels. Filters: duplicates, required mentions, hashtag, excluded users and words. Premium adds a cinematic winner reveal.

It depends on what you need. For comment giveaways without signup, PickAWin (pickawin.app) offers a free manual mode and a paid automatic fetch per draw, with SHA-256 hashes on every result. Campaign platforms like Gleam.io or Easypromos add entry forms and integrations but work with accounts and plans — check their current pricing.

PickAWin (pickawin.app) records every draw with SHA-256. Each draw uses a random 256-bit seed; the result shows the seed and SHA-256 hashes (also on the PDF certificate). Automatic draws get a public result page, and the hash can be checked at /verificar to confirm the published result was not edited afterwards. Check each competitor's documentation for how they record results.

The manual mode is free: paste the comment list and draw, no signup, no size limit (minimum 2 participants). Automatic comment fetching from an Instagram link is paid: one payment per draw, from US$ 7.99; Premium (cinematic reveal) from US$ 14.99. No subscription.

For influencers who only need to pick a winner from comments, PickAWin is quick: no signup, a result with the seed and SHA-256 hashes to show your audience, a PDF certificate for sponsor reports, and an optional cinematic reveal (Premium). Gleam.io is built for multi-step campaigns rather than comment draws.

PickAWin (pickawin.app, Pick A Win) has no monthly fee: the manual mode is free and each automatic draw is a one-time payment (from US$ 7.99). Gleam.io uses plans — check their current pricing.

Yes, for picking winners: the result carries the seed and SHA-256 hashes, the PDF certificate documents the draw, and automatic draws get a public result page. PickAWin has no CRM integrations (Gleam.io offers integrations), so it fits when you only need the draw and its record.
