They are fun and interactive giving you fun instant win contesting for your websites. > > **Cons**: It can be cumbersome having to manually mange instant win prizing, ensuring it goes smooth. It would be better if the system had a way to "set and forget" the prizing vs. having to always adjust chances of winning. It does lack some automation entities that we are working around (example, entry exports, winner exports) > > Its been good. Easy to replicate the forms once you have them in place. One can easily get lost if you are not understanding the "stack" of how it works in the designer. The support staff have been great on helping navigate any issues. Overall, happy with using this service and will continue to do so. ----- ### "Service went downhill quickly" — 3.0/5 > **Lisa** | *12 November 2024* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: thought it would be a simple way to get contests up with no coding. > > **Cons**: it's not simple. Things don't work, the widgets are slow to load, UX is painful. Anything you might want to do requires an upgrade when it's already $99/month > > It started out well. Customer service was super helpful, available through chat and I had things up and running with minimal fuss. Then the customer service went downhill (at least in the US) and things got buggy and not I am looking for a replacement. Not worth $99/month. ----- ### "Great for Online Campaigns\!" — 5.0/5 > **Crystal** | *02 June 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We have had success with the spin-to-win, driving engagement in app and sales on our ecommerce site. We used the spinning wheel for users to win prizes. We also used the Instagram and Facebook post tools to do an additional drawing for customers. We were extremely pleased with the post engagement. Their support was top notch and we plan to use them again in the future. > > **Cons**: Some of the user interface is difficult to navigate when building pages. Once we got it down, it was no problem. > > Excellent from beginning to end. Started with a kickoff call, and all support questions were answered quickly and correctly\! ----- ### "A Great Experience from Start to Finish" — 5.0/5 > **Shelby** | *08 September 2025* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the different templates ShortStack provides — they’re flexible, and offer a wide variety to choose from. > > **Cons**: The only downside to ShortStack is that the image formatting can be a little tricky to get just right. > > Overall, my experience with ShortStack has been great. From the helpful walkthrough and support in getting my first page set up, to the value we’ve gotten from using it since — it’s been a really positive experience. ----- ### "Overall Good Product" — 4.0/5 > **Nicole** | *08 September 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Quick to set up and launch a contest. Metrics and submissions can be reviewed easily. It made things run smoothly. > > **Cons**: Hard to know when your subscription is unpausing. I do not need the platform all of the time but I don't want to lose my account. > > My overall experience was good. ShortStack was recommended to me by someone in my industry and I am overall satisfied. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/154791/shortstack?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/154791/shortstack) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
