AppSorteos alternative for iPhone: an honest comparison

The short version

Both tools pick random winners from the comments of an Instagram post without asking for your password. They're built for different jobs:

  • AppSorteos is a giveaway platform: web, iPhone and Android, Instagram plus Facebook, TikTok, YouTube and more, a free plan, monthly plans and public certificates.
  • Gifty is one focused iPhone app for Instagram posts and reels. You paste the link, set winners, alternates and an @mention rule, and record the draw. Each draw uses one credit, with no subscription.

If you need several networks, Android, a free plan for small posts or a certificate, AppSorteos fits better. If you only draw on Instagram from your iPhone and want to pay per draw, Gifty may suit you.
