With Osortoo, you can only make a draw if you have previously created an account, which is not necessary to do with Comment Picker.
In terms of pricing, Comment Picker offers a wider range of free tools compared to Osortoo.
However, Osortoo has more filters that can be applied to the draw with random comment picker. On the visual part, while Comment Picker allows you to share the winner on your social media account, it doesn’t give you an aesthetic template to post with it as Osortoo does.
- A major difference between the two platforms is that Osortoo can pick multiple winners in your draw unlike Comment Picker. On the other hand, Comment Picker allows you to draw a comment from an IGTV post, unlike Osortoo.
- Osortoo also allows you to access your previous draws at any time in your account. Both platforms allow you to draw a new winner if you want to.
- Osortoo has an option where you can record the whole process of your draw to prove to your audience its legitimacy, which Comment Picker does not have.
- Finally, in terms of customer service, they can both be contacted via email and social media if you have questions or need assistance. Osortoo even has a live chat available.
Conclusion:
We now have a good idea of what each platform does and doesn’t. It is your time to choose the right one for you.
Considering the elements we just cited, Osortoo is probably more appropriate for businesses because of its pricing and legitimacy whereas Comment Picker is more suitable for anyone starting in social media and on a budget.
