Deciding between UpViral and Gleam? Think of it this way: If UpViral and Gleam were in a dance-off, UpViral would be pulling off smooth moonwalks and electric slides, while Gleam... well, let's just say it's still mastering the two-step. Curious why 103 marketers voted 4.8/5 for UpViral? Let’s dive in 👇
UpViral is a platform that stands at the forefront of viral referral marketing. Built for businesses aiming to capitalize on the power of referrals and word of mouth, it offers a comprehensive toolkit that's intuitive, powerful, and tailored to drive results.
Gleam steps into the spotlight as a giveaway and contest platform, designed for businesses keen on audience engagement. But for those seeking a wider array of marketing tools, Gleam's specialized focus might feel a touch restrictive.
UpViral isn't just another platform; it's a community of 32,600 businesses that have successfully generated over 67 million leads. The proof is in the pudding, and our Capterra rating of 4.9/5 from over 100 users stands testament to our passion to help our customers, especially when stacked against Gleam's 4.3/5 from 12 votes."
Get More with UpViral: From API Integration to Broad Language Support and Responsive Live Chat.
At first glance, UpViral and Gleam share a lot in common. Both platforms offer unlimited campaigns, cater to an unlimited number of visitors and entries, and are optimized for mobile use. They both provide customizable features, personalization tags, scheduled campaigns, and even Facebook login capabilities. With such a strong foundation of shared features, it's essential to delve deeper to understand what truly sets them apart.
Thanks to UpViral’s multiple email identities, versatility is at your fingertips. Manage campaigns for multiple brands? No problem. Send email notifications from up to three distinct email addresses, ensuring each brand maintains its unique identity. Plus, whether you prefer UpViral to handle your outgoing emails or you're an advanced user wanting to utilize your own PostMark, Sendgrid, or SMTP server, the choice is yours.
Ever wondered which traffic sources are driving the most engagement to your referral campaigns? With UpViral's UTM tracking, wonder no more. This feature allows you to trace back the origins of your visitors and leads, revealing which channels and audiences are the most effective. By understanding these dynamics, you're better positioned to enhance your campaigns and amplify your results.
Unlock the full potential of UpViral with its robust API. Designed for businesses that crave more control and integration, the API allows you to bridge UpViral with other systems, ensuring a cohesive marketing ecosystem. From managing contacts to retrieving campaign data, the API puts you in the driver's seat.
Language should never be a limitation in your marketing campaigns. With UpViral, it isn't. Cater to any audience, in any language, and watch your business flourish globally. In comparison, Gleam's support is restricted to 25 languages, which might not work for your business.
UpViral's Live Chat isn't just a feature; it's our promise to be there for you, in real-time. This dedication to instant support has led to a commendable 4.9/5 rating from more than 100 users. On the other hand, Gleam, which doesn't offer live chat, has a 4.3/5 score based on a limited number of reviews (12).
When it comes to getting the best value for your investment, UpViral Business stands out. Priced at just $119/m or an annual rate of $1068, it offers a comprehensive suite of features without breaking the bank. In comparison, Gleam Business comes in at a heftier $397/m or $3588 annually. It's clear where the value lies.
"Because of UpViral, we were able to pull it off and did over $200,000 in sales! Which helped me realize that the ceiling on what I thought was possible in our industry is actually so much higher."
GABE SCHILLINGER
"Before buying UpViral, I didn’t know what to expect, too many marketers promise big and under-deliver. I purchased UpViral and tried it out. UpViral has easily paid for itself. If I compare its results to what I would have had to pay on Facebook to get those same leads! Definitely a good investment."

RUSSELL BRUNSON
"UpViral has proven to be the simple, effective and affordable viral contest app we were looking for. It helped us build a responsive 30,000+ list in a new market in less than six months."
MICHAEL COOCH
Dr. PETE
"I had the privilege to be on of the beta testers of UpViral... So far I've already added 450 leads to my account... This may not seem like a lot, but I am a newbie with this by no means a Facebook guru... Getting 450 from my small niche websites is a LOT harder, so I will definitely continue building my list using UpViral!... You have a fan Wilco and I am sure other people will love UpViral too... Keep up the good work!"
JUDY JONG
Too much! Especially in the low cost and ease of use. So much potential with it!

"I've used several plugins and giveaway software in the past but none of them are comparable to UpViral... This is definitely one of the BEST investments I had made to Gracious Watch... I grew my subscribers to over 10,000 subscribers in just a few short months and received many emails from my readers for organising such an interesting and fun giveaway"

"I have found UpViral is more effective than any other giveaway software/platform I've tried... It's my "go-to" lead collecting tool for all my giveaways. It's so versatile, with so many options, I'm still playing with it to learn new ways to use it. To date, I've collected well over 15,000 leads with UpViral."
TRAVIS LUEDKE
DEWEY DENNING
"We started UpViral operations in December 2015. I received approximately 17,000 visitors in the first 7 days. Much more than I planned...
There onwards the speed slowed to approximately 1100 signups and later to 700 signups daily... The best part was that the users were sharing my website by approximately 3 shares per visitor. Thanks for helping me out in running my viral campaigns. I have recommended UpViral to my friends also!"
NANDU SIGNH
"Amazing! Thanks, Wilco!"
DIHN VAN DA
"I don't advocate for products, but you guys are really on to something huge here, great job!"
ROBERT FARRELL
