A Kudoboard is a digital group card: people post messages, photos and GIFs on one board that the person scrolls through. A group video turns photos into a film you watch together. Choose a board for long messages and big teams, and a video for a shared moment on the TV. The video above is our real example.

What is the difference between a Kudoboard and a group video?
A board is read, a video is watched. On a board, each person posts a message, a photo or a GIF, and the person scrolls through them on a screen. In a video, the photos play one after another with music and a few words each, often on a TV with the family around.
A board you read
Long messages, photos and GIFs on one page. Read alone, at any pace.
A video you watch
Photos with a few words and music. Watched together, from start to finish.
Words or pictures first
A board is about the words. Our video is about the photos, with up to 40 characters each.

When is a Kudoboard the better choice?
Choose a board when the words matter most, the group is large or the budget is small. A board holds long, personal messages, which our 40-character lines cannot. Its unlimited board takes as many posts as the whole office can write, while our video takes up to 30 photos.
Long messages
People want to write a paragraph, not a line.
A big team
Fifty coworkers who each want a say.
A small budget
A board starts at $6.99.
Happy tears for everybody, memories forever.
When is a video gift the better choice?
Choose a video when you want a moment that people share, on a TV or at a party. A video plays on its own, with music, so Mom or Grandma can watch it with the family without scrolling. Old photos from everyone’s archives turn into one designed film, and each frame can show who sent it.
Choose a video if
- You want to watch it together, on a TV.
- The person does not enjoy reading on a screen.
- You have old photos that tell a story.
- You want a 9:16 version to share on phones.
Choose a board if
- People want to write long messages.
- The group is larger than about 30 people.
- You want GIFs and written jokes.
- You need the lowest price.
