While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Bean a HUGE fan of Gleam for a long time!

Bean a HUGE fan of Gleam - It's been by far the best contest and giveaway platform I've ever used for our coffee business! So easy to set up and utilize and our customers and fans love interacting with it. We've seen our email list grow, and our social media following and engagement increase. You've gotta try it for yourself! Well worth every dollar and their service and support is fantastic too! Thanks Gleam!

Excellent way to build an e-mail list

Excellent way to build an e-mail list
Gleam offers an easy way to deploy giveaway campaigns lightning fast with very effective tools for multiplying entries via gamified viral sharing. Would be nice to be able to filter out entries from giveaway/contest sites.

terrible website

terrible website, it will waste so much of your time with need-less things, and it takes them forever to send emails with verification codes. worth using for the giveaways that are done on the platform but that is despite the work of gleam not because of it.

As a young startup

As a young startup, it's essential to get budgets right. When we made a mistake in purchasing the wrong business plan, we sent an email to support. Within 24 hours - our account was credited and we could go back in and purchase the right plan for our needs. It's that sort of rapid, accurate response that means so much in the startup space. It's a place to run with a team like Gleam!

Customer Service responds quickly and in detail.

I was a bit sceptical at first as you can't speak live to anyone. I use the email Support and chat and received detailed responses within a very short period of time even during after hours. So far a great experience and look forward to doing more business.

Aggressive Collection of Data

Gleam.io aggressively collects information about users that interact with their contests. This includes access to all of your photos, videos, and status updates on Facebook. On your Twitter account they want access to your protected tweets, lists, collections, accounts you mute, block, follow, and even your account settings. I recommend you review their privacy policy and look carefully at what access they want to your personal information before entering any contests with them. Your personal information is worth more than what they offer for it.

Reply from Gleam

Hey Anthony, we detail why we ask for these permissions in our documentation for each Action type.

For example for Facebook, Photos and Videos are only requested if you're entering an Action that requires those permissions like a Photo or Video contest.

For Twitter, we use permissions to verify for the contest owner that you have indeed completed the task, we even offer a way to verify this without providing permissions. However if you have a private account, these permissions would be required to verify the Tweet instead of not letting you enter.

You can review our entire policy of how any data is requested and used here: https://gleam.io/privacy

Mentioning that we "Aggressively" collect this information is false, users have the ability to consent to every bit of information that is used and collected in a campaign. Not all permissions are used or collected, only for the purpose of fulfilling the Action that you are completing.

Excellent platform

Excellent platform. I wouldn't touch anything. However, I would love to request that the feature to automatically select winners based on the highest entries should be included.
