Continuous Cup vs ShortStack

Both stand on contest software. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.

Choose ShortStack if you need a visual way to create varied marketing campaigns and collect leads, with integrations and entry protections. The free plan has low view and stored-entry limits, and teams needing more capacity or seats will need a paid plan.
