Wishpond Social Contests

Wishpond Social Contests is a free WordPress plugin with premium packagesavailable for the Wishpond contests platform. It’s an all-in-one solution for running sweepstakes, promotions and contests (along with wider marketing services).

Wishpond doesn’t reinvent the wheel with their offering, but they do offer a few interesting extra tools such as in-depth analytics, and split-testing of contest variations to let you hone in on what’s resonating with users.

Now for the bad part: Wishpond is one of two plugins we’ll be covering in this list whose WordPress.org ratings aren’t stellar. Simply put, the plugin’s free version is severely limited, but this isn’t specified until you’ve already installed it.

We’d advise checking the other plugins we’ve suggested thoroughly first before weighing up whether Wishpond is right for you. The premium features available are impressive, but you may be just as well covered by other options on our list.
