Four reasons to choose Giveaway Ninja
Grounded in what actually differs when the giveaway is the job.
Built around the order, not the widget
Entries are read from the Shopify order, with product, variant, bundle, AOV booster and period-multiplier rules that stack. You can push the SKUs you want to move and reward bigger carts, not just dollars spent.
No ceiling on the purchases you reward
Every Giveaway Ninja plan tracks purchases without an order cap, starting with the free one. On SweepWidget, unlimited purchase tracking sits on the Enterprise plan. If a campaign takes off, you won't hit a wall halfway through.
Your store is part of the giveaway
App blocks show entry badges on product pages, live counters in the cart and a recap on the thank-you page. Shoppers see what they'll earn while they buy, so the giveaway works as a conversion tool, not a separate page.
Revenue you can measure
Sales attribution shows which entrants purchased and how much the giveaway generated. You see giveaway ROI, not just emails collected, on every plan including free.

Common questions
Is Giveaway Ninja cheaper than SweepWidget?
Not at the entry tier. SweepWidget's paid plans start at $29/mo, and Giveaway Ninja's start at $49/mo. The difference shows up in purchase tracking: SweepWidget's $29 plan tracks 100 orders and unlimited tracking needs the $249 Enterprise plan, while Giveaway Ninja tracks unlimited purchases on every plan, free included. See the Giveaway Ninja pricing page for the full breakdown.
Do I give up features by moving off SweepWidget?
SweepWidget covers more social platforms and extras like leaderboards, instant coupons and crypto airdrops. Giveaway Ninja focuses on Shopify giveaways done deeply with the purchase-entry engine, referrals, social gallery voting, app blocks and sales attribution. If your giveaways run on a Shopify store, you gain depth where it counts. See what to look for in a Shopify giveaway app.
How do the free plans compare?
SweepWidget's free plan doesn't include purchase entries, and its pricing page limits free users to viewing and downloading 10 entrant emails. Giveaway Ninja's free plan includes all entry actions, unlimited purchase tracking and refer-a-friend for up to 50 entrants a month. Both are fine for a test, but only one lets you test a purchase-driven giveaway.
Can I run purchase-based giveaways without breaking the rules?
Yes. A purchase can never gate entry, so Giveaway Ninja always keeps free entry methods next to purchase entries. Buyers earn extra entries for spending, while anyone can still enter for free. You can also generate official rules with the free rules generator.
Will it slow down my store?
No. The widget and app blocks load asynchronously and the storefront scripts are small, so the giveaway never blocks your theme from rendering.
Reward every purchase, not just the first hundred
