The Pick Is Right vs Comment Picker
Checked against commentpicker.com on 2026-09-26
The short answer
Comment Picker covers eight platforms but its Instagram tool needs an Instagram or Facebook login, is free up to 100 comments, and doesn't check follows. The Pick Is Right is Instagram-only, needs no login, is free up to 250 comments and verifies follows and likes.
Comment Picker (commentpicker.com) is one of the oldest and best-known random comment pickers, with tools for Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, X, Threads, Bluesky and Reddit. The Pick Is Right is a newer, Instagram-only picker built around one job: checking that the winner actually followed your rules. Here's how they compare for an Instagram giveaway.

Questions
Does Comment Picker check if the winner follows me?

Which is free for more comments?
Comment Picker's free Instagram limit is 100 comments. The Pick Is Right is free up to 250 comments, with unlimited giveaways and no account.
