I"m surprised at the wages, a decent developer in Australia will cost $100k+ alone.

Indeed, this isn't our only product :) But certainly we believe there's room in this space to do things better.

Few differences (we also have a lot of respect for RF, those guys have a great product):

- Verified actions, we verify via API's that users actually complete an entry. You can just bypass this on RF (something I'm sure they're working on).

- API, you can create completely custom entry types on Gleam. Put our API code on your shopping cart, or email signup form & activate an entry. Useful for things like "Add 5 products to your wishlist for an entry, or leave a review for an entry".

- More social network coverage (Instagram, YouTube/Soundcloud)

- More ways to install than just embedding on the page

I hear you on the backend demo :) Our frontend is all AngularJS, however the backend isn't. We plan to have a visual drag/drop builder once we do that.

We have most networks integrated from an entry perspective, including Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest (No API currently), SoundCloud & YouTube. We've got Tumblr coming then adding based on demand.

Our Facebook tab solution is 90% completed, we're just testing it currently. Install to Facebook will be in the free plan, on Pro you'll be able to customise the tab/gate images :)

Co-founder here, I replied to you about oauth.

Integration with ESP's is critical to marketers, as someone mentioned below the key reason people run competitions is to drive sales/engagement with followup. Especially for Ecom.

There's a blog post going up in the next few days from Chris at Vero on this very topic :)

Some of my apps are back, but some are still missing. Anyone in a similar boat?
