WBPicker started with a simple frustration. If you've ever run a giveaway on Weibo, you already know the part nobody warns you about: the post does great, hundreds or thousands of people comment, and then you're sitting there trying to figure out how to pick a winner without spending your evening scrolling and counting by hand.
People used to do it in some pretty rough ways. Screenshot the comments, number them, paste them into a spreadsheet, run a random number generator, hope you didn't miscount somewhere around comment 240. It worked, sort of, but it was slow and it left room for doubt. And doubt is the last thing you want when you're handing someone a prize in public. The moment a follower thinks a draw was fixed, the goodwill you built with the giveaway evaporates.
We built WBPicker to take that whole headache off your plate. You drop in the link to your Weibo post, the tool reads the comments, and it draws a random winner. That's the core of it. No spreadsheets, no manual counting, no "trust me, it was fair." The whole thing takes seconds instead of an afternoon.
What we actually do
At heart, WBPicker is a Weibo comment picker for giveaways and contests. You give it a public post, it gathers the entries, and it selects one or more winners at random. Along the way, it handles the annoying details that used to eat your time. It can strip out duplicate comments from the same person so nobody games the draw by spamming. It can filter for entries that mention a friend or include a specific hashtag if those were your rules. And when you want more than one winner, it can pull a list, plus a few backups in case your first pick goes quiet and never claims the prize.
We also kept it honest by design. Every eligible entry has the same odds. There's no secret weighting toward accounts with more followers or comments that got more likes. If you re-run a draw, you'll usually get a different name, which is the easiest proof that the result really is random.
Who uses it
The people who get the most out of WBPicker tend to fall into a few groups. There are brands and online shops running product giveaways to grow their Weibo following. There are creators and influencers doing milestone celebrations, like a draw to thank followers when they hit a round number. There are event organizers picking raffle winners, and there are small businesses that can't justify hiring anyone to manage a contest and just need it done in five minutes.
What ties them together is that they're all standing in front of an audience that's watching the result. None of them can afford to look like they cheated. That's really who we built this for: anyone who needs a winner picked and needs the people watching to believe it was fair.
The free trials
We don't think you should have to pay to find out whether a tool fits how you work. So when you sign up, you get 3 free trials. These aren't crippled demos with half the features hidden. They're real draws on real posts, so you can run an actual giveaway from start to finish and judge it on the result, not on a feature list.
If you decide it's worth keeping around, the paid plans open up more draws and let you handle posts with larger comment counts. You can look over exactly what each tier includes on our pricing page at https://wbpicker.com/pricing. We tried to keep the plans readable, without the kind of fine print that hides the thing you actually care about.
Why fairness is the whole point
It would be easy to treat a comment picker as a throwaway utility, and plenty of tools do. We took a different view. A giveaway is a small act of trust between you and your audience. They spend a moment of their attention entering, and in return they expect a square shake. If the draw feels rigged, you've spent your reach to make people trust you less, which is the opposite of why anyone runs a giveaway.
So the things that might seem boring to us aren't boring to you: equal odds for every entry, repeatable draws you can run again in front of your audience, clear handling of duplicates and rule-based filters. Those are the features that let you post a winner and not get a single comment asking whether you made it up.
The team behind it
WBPicker is built and maintained by Maetheon, a small software team that likes making tools that do one job and do it without fuss. We're not trying to be an all-in-one marketing suite. We're trying to be the thing you reach for the moment your giveaway post closes, and then forget about until the next one. If we've done our job, you barely notice us at all, which honestly suits us fine.
If you have a question, a feature you wish existed, or a draw that didn't behave the way you expected, we'd rather hear about it than not. You can reach us any time at info@maetheon.com. Real messages get read by real people, and the feedback we get from people running giveaways is most of how the tool has improved.
