Woobox alternative: instant QR prizes at your event

Woobox is a platform for building online promotions: giveaways, photo contests, coupons, forms and digital games, heavily geared towards social-media campaigns and digital lead capture.

PrizeQR focuses on the in-person side. Your guest scans a QR with their phone camera, plays with nothing to install, wins instantly, and staff redeems the prize on the spot, with a live winners screen that energises the event.

If you want to run a campaign online, Woobox is a solid option. If your ground is the fair, the bar, the stand or the event with people in front of you, here's the comparison.

Frequently asked questions

Does PrizeQR replace Woobox?+
It depends on your goal. Woobox is strong at online and social promotions; PrizeQR is built for instant prizes at physical events with QR. For in-person, PrizeQR is the alternative; for online, Woobox covers more ground.
Does it work without good connectivity at the venue?+
The guest plays over their own phone's connection. In areas with normal mobile coverage it works fine; it doesn't depend on you setting up your own network.
Can I stop someone playing twice?+
Yes. Paid plans include an HMAC-signed unique QR mode that is single-use per code, useful for tickets or entries.
Does Woobox have a live winners screen like PrizeQR?+
The live winners screen is a core piece of PrizeQR, made for the in-person event. Woobox focuses on online promotion, so that isn't its main use case.
How much does PrizeQR cost?+
It has a free plan and monthly paid plans (Basic €12, Pro €29, Agency €79) with no lock-in. For Woobox pricing it's best to check their site.
