VidDay or KeepSakePage?
VidDay gives you the tools to make the video: contributors upload clips, you arrange them in a timeline with themes and backgrounds, and you pay by the length of the finished montage. It has been doing that for ten years, with apps, video books, gift-card pooling and live chat seven days a week.
KeepSakePage is aimed at a neighbouring job: collect every kind of message, including by phone from the relatives who won't open a link, let an AI director cut the film, and leave the honoree a page with every message on it. It is a beta, run by one person. If you want to edit the video yourself, VidDay is the better pick. If you want the film made for you and the page kept afterwards, that is what KeepSakePage is for.
VidDay's facts were read on their own site on October 15, 2026. Prices and limits change; corrections to contact@keepsakepage.com.

Side by side
Twelve things people ask about, with the honest edge on each.
| VidDay | KeepSakePage | Edge | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you end up with | A video montage you arrange yourself, shared as a link or downloaded in 1080p. | A reveal page with every message, a trailer cut by the director, a 30-second vertical teaser, and an MP4. | Even |
| Who does the editing | You, in a timeline: reorder, trim, split, text cards, eight themes, your own backgrounds. Or VidDay's White Glove specialists, $99 with two rounds of revisions. | The director picks the best moment from each message. You steer by tapping phrases to trim or split, or by writing a note in plain English; four Looks and a family photo behind the cards. No timeline. | Theirs |
| Kinds of message | Video clips and photos, plus text cards the organizer adds. | Video, voice notes, written notes, photos and songs. A note's best line goes on screen in the film. | Ours |
| Relatives without a smartphone | Upload from any browser. We found no phone-in option on vidday.com. | A phone line: they dial, hear the honoree's name, and talk after the tone. It lands transcribed, ready for the film. | Ours |
| Price | Free to build and preview. Pay by final length to export: $5 up to 3 minutes, $15 to 10, $30 to 20, $45 to 30, $60 to 150. First remake free, then 30% of the price. Memberships from $59.99 a year. | Free during the beta, by invite. A workplace page is $299 with an invoice. Keepsakes for later: the first three are free, $59 once for unlimited. | Theirs |
| Seeing it before you commit | Preview the full video as often as you like; pay to export. | The reveal page plays live in the browser; a quick 480p preview renders in about half the time of the real file. | Even |
| After the party | The finished video stays. Uploaded media is deleted 30 days after an account is deleted; an account inactive for three years may be purged. | The whole page stays with the honoree, with a downloadable archive of every message, photo, recording and song. A page runs a year; the archive outlives it. | Ours |
| Physical keepsakes and gifts | Video books, including one with a speaker; USB and DVD; pooled gift cards ($1.99 plus 3% per contribution) and tree planting. | None. The keepsake is the page and the archive. | Theirs |
| Apps, languages, support | iOS and Android apps. Several languages and five currencies. Live chat daily, 7 AM to 9 PM Central; email answered within four hours in those hours. | Web only, English, US dollars. Email support from the person who built it. | Theirs |
| Privacy | Uploads are consented to the organizer to use as they wish, which may include making them public. Hashed emails may be used to build advertising audiences on Meta; you can opt out by email. | Private by default. The organizer approves every message before anyone sees it. No advertising audiences, nothing sold, no public pages. | Ours |
| Messages for years from now | Not offered. | Keepsakes for later: record a message now and choose the day it arrives, an 18th birthday or a wedding morning years away. | Ours |
| Track record | Ten years. Millions of users and 180 countries by their own count; about 4.8 on Trustpilot from roughly 800 reviews. | A beta that began as one family's 80th birthday page. Three pages so far. | Theirs |

Questions people ask
Is KeepSakePage a VidDay alternative?
For the same occasion, yes: a group of people record messages for one person, and a film comes out. The products differ in who makes the film. On VidDay you assemble it; on KeepSakePage a director cuts it and you steer. VidDay also sells physical keepsakes and gift pooling, which KeepSakePage does not.
Which is cheaper?
For a short montage, VidDay: $5 for up to three minutes and $15 for up to ten, paid once you are happy. KeepSakePage is free during its beta, by invite, and its workplace page is $299 with an invoice. Neither charges the honoree or the contributors.
Can I edit the film myself on KeepSakePage?
You can reorder clips, switch any off, trim or split a recording by tapping the phrases in its transcript, set a Look and a photo background, and tell the director what to change in plain English. You cannot scrub a timeline. If that is what you want, choose VidDay.
Can grandparents without a smartphone take part?
On KeepSakePage, yes, by phone: every page has a number. They call, hear the honoree's name, and talk. We looked for an equivalent on vidday.com and did not find one; a family member can record on their behalf there.
What does the honoree keep afterwards?
On VidDay, the finished video. On KeepSakePage, the whole page, with every message, photo, recording and song, plus a downloadable archive. A KeepSakePage page runs for a year; the archive is theirs for good.
