Excellent support and great plugin
The plugin is perfect and works very well. Igor provided me with the PHP code to help me make the last missing functionality to my giveaway site on my site.

The Best Implementation of Social Shares. Good Default Templates.
I tried the other one. Even paid for the other one. This one is better. Unlike the other plugin the free version on the WP Repository is actually useful and the value-ad and low price makes this plugin a no-brainer. You can actually add images to your giveaways with this free version. You can add easy links to Facebook/Twitter with this free version. The OTHER plugin wants to charge you $399/yr for basic things like a permalink to your giveaway, a feature included with the free version of this plugin. If you need fancy features like integrations the pro version is really economical at $49/yr. Highly recommend! The best giveaway plugin on the WP repository.

This amazing giveaway plugin is packed with a lot of wonderful features and it keeps getting better with every update release. The support is second to none, and Igor never disappoints with his swift response to your questions, you can tell he is so passionate about the project. This is still the number 1 giveaway plugin for WordPress, trust me, I have tried others, but none comes close to this. Great product with excellent customer service!

Incredible team support!
The 'Simple Giveaways' plugin is absolutely what i was looking for, i did need a slight tweak to one of the actions and after explaining it to the support team then they sorted it very quickly for me. Very friendly, helpful and polite support team. I am so glad i found this plugin.
