Woobox alternative: how Vast compares for creators

Updated 12 November 2026 · By the Vast team

Woobox is a broad builder for promotions: you describe a giveaway, quiz, poll or coupon and its AI builds a hosted page, with plans from free to $499 a month sized by live sites, submits and views. Vast is narrower. It's built for games, streams and Discord servers, with checked Steam and Twitch entries and official rules drafted for every giveaway. Pick Woobox for Instagram, Facebook and email-list promotions; pick Vast when the entry is a wishlist, a follow or a sub.

Vast is our product, so weigh that. We read Woobox's pricing, giveaway and sweepstakes pages and its Sponsor Terms on November 11, 2026. Woobox shows monthly prices only. Prices can change, so confirm on Woobox's pricing page before you decide.

What do Woobox's plans include?

Woobox's pricing page lists five plans, each priced "/mo":

The giveaway page lists what's "Built-in for every giveaway you launch," including an email entry form, Instagram and Facebook bonus entries, a refer-a-friend loop, random winner selection, an embed, an analytics dashboard and CSV export. Its sweepstakes page adds that "Paid plans add capacity, advanced bonus-entry methods, custom domains, white-labeling, and priority support." The pricing page shows no yearly prices.

How do the free plans compare?

They limit different things. Woobox's is sized by use: one live site, 100 submits and 1,000 views a month. Vast's is sized by giveaways: one a month, with one prize, one winner and one action of each type, and drafts count toward it. It includes official rules drafted for you, a random draw, an embed and the same entry actions as paid plans, apart from custom actions, email list sign-ups and loyalty bonuses.

Who wins. Woobox, if you want a quiz or poll, or a small promotion of up to 100 submits a month. Vast, for one bigger giveaway a month.

Which works better for streamers and game communities?

Woobox's giveaway page names Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X and YouTube, and says bonus entries are "verified via referral link tracking and click-through where direct API verification is not possible." We found no Twitch, Discord or Steam entry option on the Woobox pages we read.

Vast checks Twitch follows, subscriptions and channel reward redemptions through the Twitch account a player connects, and Steam wishlists, plays, ownership and group joins the same way. Discord, X and Kick actions are there too, but aren't checked automatically today, so look over winners before you announce them. Our guides to Twitch giveaways and Steam key giveaways cover each platform's rules.

Who wins. Vast, for Twitch, Steam and game communities.

Which is better for email lists and brand promotions?

Woobox. Email is the default entry field on every Woobox giveaway, entries export to CSV, and its giveaway page says entries "connect to your email and CRM tools via Zapier and webhooks." It also builds quizzes, polls, coupons, instant wins and photo contests.

On Vast, entrants enter with a Vast account, or give a name and email in the embedded widget. The email list sign-up action, which adds entrants to tools such as Mailchimp or MailerLite, starts on Pro at $49 a month, and seeing and exporting every entrant's email starts on Business at $149. Our guide to growing an email list with giveaways covers consent and setup.

Who wins. Woobox, clearly.

How are winners picked and contacted?

Woobox's giveaway page says you "Select the number of winners, optionally weight by entry count or filter by entry method," and that Woobox "picks the giveaway winner randomly and emails them automatically." It adds that you can re-roll a winner who doesn't respond and that "every draw is logged for transparency."

On Vast, winners are drawn at random when the giveaway ends, and actions worth more entries improve a player's odds. The host can't win, and nobody wins twice in one giveaway. You review them on the giveaway's Winners tab, re-draw one or all, then choose Publish winners, and the giveaway page lists them by place with masked usernames. Vast doesn't email winners for you today; you see the email on each winner's account and contact them yourself. Our guide to announcing a giveaway winner has templates.

Who wins. Woobox, for automatic winner emails.

Can an AI agent set up the giveaway?

On Vast, yes. An agent such as Claude Code connects to Vast's MCP server with an API key, drafts the giveaway, adds entry actions, previews it and reports entries. It publishes only when you ask. Today, API keys for agents need a paid plan, and Basic at $15 a month is the cheapest. See running a giveaway with an AI agent.

Woobox's AI works inside its own editor, and its giveaway page says "Paid plans add direct API access and webhooks." We found no MCP server or AI agent documentation on the pages we read.

Who wins. Woobox, for building inside the app. Vast, for working from your own agent.

Who writes the official rules?

On both, you're the sponsor and the rules are yours. Woobox's Sponsor Terms (last modified September 13, 2024) say the site "provides no safeguards ensuring that your Promotions and media comply with any law," and that you are "responsible to provide the official rules of the Promotion." Its giveaway page says Woobox includes "starter rules text" you can customize.

Vast drafts official rules for every giveaway from your details, including the dates, the minimum age and the countries you set, and you can edit them or use your own. Our rules template lists what official rules need.

Which one should you pick?

Twitch streamer. Vast, for checked follows, subs and channel rewards.

Studio launching on Steam. Vast, for checked wishlist actions.

You work with an AI agent. Vast.
