Video only, on purpose
Kudoboard is a board: posts can be text, images and GIFs, and the result stays a page you visit. Gatherfox accepts only recordings and produces only a film. Neither of us does the other’s job.
A Kudoboard alternative
A film, not a wall of posts.
Kudoboard and Gatherfox both collect messages from a group for one person. One gives you a page of posts; the other gives you a video. Which of those you want is honestly the whole decision.
Comparison
What both of them do
Both give you one link to send round, both let people contribute in their own time, and both spare you the group thread where everybody promises to send something tonight. Neither asks the contributor to learn anything.
What you get instead of a board
The output is the difference, so it is worth being concrete about what arrives at the end.
- 01
One prompt, one deadline
You write the question everyone answers. They all get the same one, which is why the clips hang together as a film.
- 02
Spoken messages, not posts
Each person records up to a minute in the browser, or uploads a clip. There is no text, image or GIF option — this is video only.
- 03
Assembled automatically
Gatherfox builds the opening, the order, the transitions and the ending, keeping every frame whole so nobody is cropped out.
- 04
A file you keep
A clean 1080p MP4 with a caption file, plus a private viewing page. The download does not expire when the page does.
Comparison
The differences that matter
Priced per project, not per board
Kudoboard sells boards by tier, with the tier set by how many posts a board holds, alongside plans for teams. Gatherfox is one flat price per project, with the clip and length limits published up front.
Deletion dates, in writing
Gatherfox prints when each kind of file goes — the original upload, the working copy and the final film all have their own date — and contributors are told before they record. That is a description of Gatherfox, not of anyone else.
When Kudoboard is the better buy
If what you actually want is a message board people can post text, photos and GIFs to, that is Kudoboard’s job and not ours. We only make a film, and a film needs people who will talk to a camera. If half your group will not, buy the board — they will get something with everyone in it, and we would hand you a video of the confident half.

FAQ
Can people write instead of recording?
No. A Gatherfox contribution is a recording or an uploaded clip. If a good part of your group would rather write something, a board suits them better than we do.
What if somebody records something unusable?
Gatherfox flags missing audio, unreadable footage, extreme darkness and caption failures, and you can request a replacement without editing anything. Contributors can also replace their own clip until collection closes.
Do we get a link to share afterwards?
Yes — a private viewing page for 12 months, plus the MP4 download, which is yours to keep after the page expires.
How many people can contribute?
Up to 50 active clips on a standard project and up to 100 on Workplace, at up to 60 seconds each.
