Giveaways and Contests by RafflePress – Get More Website Traffic, Email Subscribers, and Social Followers

I don't believe all plugins should be free, quite the opposite in fact. Devs should get paid for their time.

RafflePress takes this to the extreme though. No trial period, the paid version (for $32) is simply a placeholder plugin which lacks key features and merely serves as a sales magnet to encourage you to upgrade further.

Whatsmore, it appears Facebook blocks shares coming from this plugin and the tweet functionality is too complicated for the average user.

I've asked for a refund. I'll be using another comprehensive alternative plugin instead. One that isn't designed to simply milk me for cash.

Shady operator...

The best WordPress giveaway plugin. Grow your email list, website traffic, and social media followers with viral contests, giveaways, and sweepstakes.

<p><a href="https://www.contestswp.com/" title="ContestsWP" rel="nofollow ugc">ContestsWP</a> was developed so that you can easily build, launch, and operate contests and giveaways on your WordPress site. Whether you are running a promotion for a few dozen or a few hundred thousand contestants, ContestsWP is an effective and simple plugin which seamlessly integrates with your existing installation and plugins.</p>
<p>Launched in 2017, ContestsWP is currently used by hundreds of site owners and developers. Below are some examples of how ContestsWP is currently deployed:</p>
<p>ABC Autos is an up and coming car dealership in Detroit, MI. Upon visiting the dealerships website, a user is encouraged to sign up for the dealerships monthly newsletter via the user facing ContestsWP form (ContestsWP Pro can integrate with Mailchimp) and enter their monthly drawing for free oil changes for one year. The user simply enters their name and email address. Once per month, it takes the dealership just a few seconds to randomly pick the winner using the ContestsWP plugin. Since deploying ContestsWP, ABC Autos has seen a 300% increase in newsletter sign ups and has dramatically reduced the staff time needed to run the giveaway.</p>
<p>DEF Store in the Netherlands wants to increase their online sales. In order to do this they send out an email to their mailing list saying that for every online order they make they will get a code to check for a prize. The customer can then use the code on a ContestsWP form to see what they have won.</p>
<p>The free version has the following features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Front-end contest form that can be easily customized</li>
<li>Admin area to manage contest codes with the ability to import codes</li>
