Maybe good for groups, but terrible for paid ads
I have some issues with this tool, one of them is all the branding from Kingsumo. But is far from the worst thing, I have compiled a list of things, that one might want to consider before purchasing.
My issues:
- No control or edit options on the "forced" automated email when participants enter a competition.
- The only native email integration is: Sendfox??? - yes, no Convertkit, Getresponse etc.
- Lack of language options - This could be fixed if you had more control over the landingpage.
- Facebook ads penalize "Kingsumo competition landing page, which gives bad ads score and WAY lower reach.
- You can actually cheat the point system(entries).
- No roadmap to when things will be changed or improved.
It's not a big list, but for me at least it's some really important issues.

Follow-up to a few points:
1) All Pro users (aka Sumo-lings who buy this web app version) have access to few email integrations, not just SendFox. And, all Pro users get access to a full Zapier web app to integrate with ANYTHING they want via Zapier. Winning!
2) We recently added translate ability to the web app version, so you can absolutely translate your giveaway now. Double winning!
We're constantly making improvements to KingSumo, and will continue doing so. Over the time that KingSumo has been on AppSumo, we've released dozens on major updates and fixes — all 100% free for all Sumo-lings.
More than ever, people are using giveaways because they can't afford large marketing spends anymore. AppSumo even launches giveaways monthly, and so does Noah Kagan personally, to get more subscribers. It's the best, least expensive marketing channel we know about... and we can't wait to keep seeing more people use it. 😀
