What the Manual Version
Actually Costs
You
You Are Spending Hours on Work That Should Not Exist
The problem: most brands underestimate how much the manual version actually takes. Building a form, handling entries, verifying actions, picking a winner, notifying people, and importing the list into an email platform can easily take several hours per campaign.
The fix: on Gleam, most of that is automatic. Setup takes about 10 minutes, email sync happens in real time, fraud detection runs in the background, and winner selection is one click.
Asking People to Tag a Friend Is Not the Same Thing
The problem: writing "tag a friend" in a caption gives you no tracking, no incentive, and no compounding effect. You never know if it worked.
The fix: Viral Share gives every entrant a unique referral link worth bonus entries. At 10 entries per referral, people actively recruit friends. You can see exactly who referred who, and the campaign keeps finding new people without you posting again.
The Right Plan Depends on How You Actually Work
The problem: most people either overpay for features they will not use or stay on free and hit a wall when they try to export their data or connect their email platform. The fix: the tool matches you to a plan based on how you run campaigns today: Free for testing, Pro for full data access and integrations, Business for teams needing WhatsApp Viral Share and API access, Premium for agencies running campaigns at scale.

One-Click Winner Selection
Draw a verified, randomised winner in one click. Gleam handles the fraud checks before the draw so you are not picking from a list of fake entries.
Viral Share with Tracking
Every entrant gets a unique referral link. You see exactly who referred who, how many entries each referral generated, and which channels drove the most spread.
Automatic Action Verification
Every action is checked against social platform APIs automatically so you are not manually reviewing a spreadsheet of unverifiable follows and visits.
Real-Time Email Platform Sync
Entrants flow directly into Mailchimp, Klaviyo, or your platform of choice the moment they enter, tagged and segmented, with no CSV export needed.
