Say Hello to RafflePress – The Best WordPress Giveaway and Contest Plugin

During the WPBeginner 10th birthday giveaway, many of you asked me about which WordPress plugin are we using to run the contest? It was a new plugin that my team had built called RafflePress, but it wasn’t available to the public.

But now it is.

Today, I want to introduce you to RafflePress, a WordPress giveaway plugin that’s both EASY and POWERFUL. I believe it’s hands down the best WordPress giveaway / contest plugin in the market.

RafflePress Preview

Every smart marketer knows that giveaways are an incredibly powerful hack to quickly increase your website traffic, grow your social media following, and get more email subscribers.

So why aren’t more WordPress website owners using giveaways?

That’s because there wasn’t a single good WordPress giveaway plugin available. The few that were available either didn’t have all the features, or they weren’t optimized for performance meaning they would significantly slow down your website, if not crash it entirely.

This left business owners to explore the SaaS software market for giveaways. Now while these SaaS giveaway platforms were good, they were extremely expensive.

One popular platform that we used charged $1000 per year for all their features. Another popular giveaway platform charged $3588 per year. This is very expensive for most small businesses.

So I worked with John Turner from SeedProd (one of our portfolio companies) to finally build a WordPress giveaway plugin that’s easy, powerful, and most importantly affordable for small business owners.

You can start with our free plugin, RafflePress Lite which is 100% free and has all the basic features that you will need.

For those of you who want all the features that RafflePress has to offer such as viral sharing, email marketing integrations, bonus actions, and more, then you should check out RafflePress Pro.
