SM
Sarah Mitchell
Newsletter Creator
★★★★★

"4,200 participants in 72 hours. The UTM tracking pinpointed exactly which influencer drove the most entries — we doubled down and saw a 3x ROI on our next drop."

MT
Marcus Thompson
E-commerce Founder · FitGear Co.
★★★★★

"The hourly heatmap was a revelation. We shifted email sends to peak hours and conversions jumped 40%. I pay for the analytics alone — everything else is a bonus."

PM
Priya Mehta
SaaS Growth Lead · Stackify
★★★★★

"Ran a listener appreciation giveaway, expected 500 entries. Got 6,100. The share-to-enter mechanic is genuinely different — people actually want to refer friends."

JO
James O'Brien
Podcast Host · 82k listeners
★★★★★

"I was skeptical that a small clothing boutique could benefit from a viral campaign. Wrong. 1,800 new email subscribers from one 7-day giveaway. Paid for itself in the first week."

LK
Lena Kovacs
Boutique Owner · Bloom & Thread
★★★★★

"We've tried every contest tool on the market. Nothing comes close to the analytics depth here. The geo breakdown alone changed how we allocate ad spend."

DC
David Chen
Head of Marketing · CloudDesk
★★★★★

"My audience grew 210% in 30 days. Not bots — real, engaged subscribers. The milestone email automation kept participants warm throughout the whole campaign."

AO
Amara Osei
Personal Finance Creator
★★★★★

"I manage campaigns for 12 clients and this is the only platform I recommend. The white-label option means clients see our brand, not a third-party tool. Game-changer."

RK
Ryan Kowalski
Agency Owner · Spark Digital
★★★★★

"The landing page converts way better than anything I built myself. Professional, fast, and the share prompt is perfectly timed. Lost count of how many DMs asked which tool I used."

IF
Isabelle Fontaine

TN
Tom Nakashima
App Developer · Triply
★★★★★

"I was worried my audience was too small to run a viral campaign. Started with 800 followers. Campaign ended with 4,400 email subscribers. The referral loop works at any size."

GA
Grace Andersen
Fitness Coach · GraceMethod
★★★★★

"Free plan was enough to test the concept. Upgraded to Pro the same day the campaign ended because the results were undeniable. Best $39 I spend monthly."

CR
Carlos Reyes
E-learning Founder · EduPath

"The participant analytics dashboard is the best I've seen in any contest platform. We use it in our investor updates to show traction. That says everything."

NJ
Nina Johansson
SaaS Founder · Desktopia

FA
Fatima Al-Rashid
Food Blogger · 95k monthly readers

OB
Oliver Braun
Digital Product Creator
★★★★★

"Ran simultaneous campaigns for two sponsors. The separate analytics per campaign meant I could deliver individual performance reports. Sponsors renewed immediately."

MW
Mei-Ling Wu
Travel Creator · WonderWayTravel
★★★★★

"Never thought viral mechanics applied to real estate. Used a home tour giveaway, collected 880 local email leads in 10 days. My pipeline is healthier than it's been in years."

SI
Sofia Iannone
Fashion Brand · Solfeo Studio

"Used it to grow my sample pack newsletter. 1,100 signups from one beat giveaway. The referral mechanic means every subscriber now has a personal reason to share — brilliant loop."

AW
Andre Williams
Music Producer · AWBeats
★★★★★

"The team feature let us run the campaign collaboratively — our designer, marketer and I all had access without stepping on each other. Felt like a proper product, not a side project."

HP
Hannah Park
EdTech Startup · Claros
★★★★★

"I've run 6 campaigns so far and each one compounds on the last. Former participants share new campaigns automatically. My list has become a growth engine I never have to restart."

EC
Ethan Cruz

"I benchmark every client campaign against industry averages. Consistently 2–4x higher referral rates than what I see with other platforms. The incentive mechanics are just better-designed."

CF
Claudia Ferreira
Social Media Consultant
★★★★

"Discord giveaway crossed with email capture — my mod suggested it, I was doubtful. 4,800 new email subscribers from my stream audience. Now every major announcement goes through email first."

JM
Jake Morrison
Gaming Streamer · 55k on Twitch
★★★★★

"The countdown timer on the campaign page creates real urgency. My conversion rate is 34% — meaning a third of visitors sign up. That number was 9% with my old Typeform setup."

AD
Aisha Diallo
Life Coach & Speaker
★★★★★

"Bootstrapped, no marketing budget. One viral giveaway put my tool in front of 9,000 relevant people. Four months later it's my primary acquisition channel. Zero paid ads."

"Enterprise clients care about data security and GDPR. The platform handles both without me needing to explain anything — participants see a proper compliance flow. Closed two enterprise deals because of it."

MS
Maria Santos
HR Tech Founder · PeopleFirst
★★★★★

"We white-label the platform and resell it as part of our growth package. It added a recurring revenue stream to our agency with almost zero overhead. Best partnership decision we've made."

TH
Tariq Hassan
Digital Marketing Agency · 40+ clients
★★★★★

"Our audience is privacy-conscious. The clean, minimal campaign page and transparent data handling meant opt-in rates were higher than any paid campaign we'd run. Trust converts."

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Viraloo is a viral referral giveaway and contest platform. You create a campaign with a prize, publish your giveaway page, and every person who enters gets a unique referral link. When they share it and a friend enters, they earn bonus entries — creating a self-sustaining viral loop that grows your audience exponentially.
Every participant receives a personal referral link when they join your giveaway. When someone signs up through that link, the referrer earns bonus entries automatically. The public leaderboard shows who's leading, which fuels competition and drives more sharing. It's a proven growth flywheel.
Viraloo connects with 10 email service providers: Mailchimp, ConvertKit, AWeber, SendFox, MailerLite, GetResponse, ActiveCampaign, Drip, Brevo, and Moosend. It also supports Zapier webhooks to connect with 5,000+ additional tools — CRMs, Slack, Notion, Google Sheets, and more.
Yes! Viraloo's free plan lets you run 1 campaign with up to 100 participants — no credit card required, no time limit. It's the best way to test a viral campaign before scaling up.
Viraloo uses a SHA-256-seeded deterministic algorithm — weighted by entries so your most active referrers have the best odds. Every draw automatically publishes a public verification page where anyone (you, your entrants, your audience) can click a button and re-run the entire draw in their browser. If the published winners don't match what the browser computes, they'll see a red mismatch warning. This makes every draw cryptographically tamper-evident — no other giveaway platform offers this.
Yes. Every campaign generates an iframe embed code you can paste into any website, WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Squarespace, or custom HTML page. Participants can enter without ever leaving your site.
You can add unlimited bonus entry actions: Follow on X/Twitter, Follow on Instagram, Like on Facebook, Subscribe on YouTube, Follow on TikTok, Visit a URL, Watch a video, or create fully custom actions. Each action has configurable point values.
Yes. Every campaign entry form includes a configurable GDPR consent checkbox. Consent status is recorded at entry time and included in your CSV export — making it easy to comply with data privacy regulations in the EU and beyond.
Absolutely. Viraloo tracks traffic sources (direct, referral, social, organic), top countries with geo-tracking, device types, and supports full UTM parameter tracking. The analytics dashboard also links directly to Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Plausible, Hotjar, and Mixpanel.
Viraloo supports giveaways, referral contests, sweepstakes, product launch waitlists, and newsletter growth campaigns. You have access to 30 pre-built templates, or you can build your campaign from scratch in minutes.
The Offline Store type is designed for physical retailers. You generate a QR code for your shop — print it on receipts, shelf labels, or your storefront. When a customer scans it and joins, they get a personal referral link. Any friend who shops via that link receives an automatic discount coupon by email. Your staff can verify coupon redemptions on-the-spot using a secret PIN — no POS system integration required.
Yes. All plans are month-to-month with no annual contracts required. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time from your billing dashboard.
