Comment Picker is built to pull winners from social comment threads, but it makes you log in with Facebook and connect an Instagram Business account, caps free giveaways at 100 comments, and charges $9.99/month for unlimited use without ads. If you already have your entrant list — or can copy the names — RandomPicker draws a fair winner instantly, free, with no login and no limits.
If you can paste or export your entrant names, RandomPicker picks a winner free with no account or comment cap. Comment Picker is the better tool if you specifically need it to fetch comments directly from an Instagram or Facebook post for you.

Comment Picker requires a Facebook login and a connected Instagram Business or Creator account. RandomPicker never asks you to connect anything — paste your list and draw.
The free Comment Picker tier stops at 100 comments and pushes a $9.99/month plan for more. RandomPicker has no caps and no paid tier.
RandomPicker uses the cryptographically secure Web Crypto API rather than a basic PRNG, so every entrant has a truly equal chance.
Comment Picker is the right tool when you need to automatically fetch entrants straight from an Instagram or Facebook giveaway post and filter by likes, mentions, or hashtags. RandomPicker works from a list you provide, so you'd export or copy the comments first.
