Group video gifts, $80K a month: collect and edit memories
VidDay collects video messages and photos through one link, lets users edit them, and delivers the finished group video as a gift. Its $80K a month was reported by the founder in an interview (not independently verified), as of May 31st, 2025.
What it actually sells
VidDay sells personalized group video gifts made from video messages and photos submitted by several contributors. One link collects uploads in one place and guides contributors with prompts and reminders. The site targets gifts for friends, family, coworkers, or teams.
Users can reorder clips, trim or split videos, add photos, and include text cards. They can choose or create themes and add music from the site’s library, upload a song, or create one with the Custom Song Builder. Finished videos download as 1080p HD MP4 files or use private viewing links.
How it charges
Pay-per-video starts at $5 for a video from 0:00 to 3:00 minutes and $15 for a video from 3:01 to 10:00 minutes. Pricing depends on length. The creator can see the full video before paying, and payment covers creation of the final HD version.
Where customers come from
The pages reviewed do not disclose a specific customer-acquisition channel or a founder-described distribution strategy. The site identifies people creating gifts for friends, family, coworkers, or teams as its intended customers.
Visible site signals include a blog, Partnerships, Press, Reviews, a Help Center, an AI Message Idea Generator, and links to the VideoGreet and CineGreet apps. The site also offers step-by-step help articles and quick video tutorials. These are visible site features and links, not a disclosed acquisition strategy.
What stands out
VidDay combines contribution collection, video editing, themes, music, and delivery in one flow. The product also offers Video Book Keepsakes with a built-in HD screen, clear audio, autoplay, and 17 cover designs, giving the same collected material a physical-product format.
The site says it is trusted by 8M+ users, Rated 4.9 on Trustpilot, and claims to be the #1 rated group video gift platform. These are the business’s own stated proof points and claims, not an independent assessment.

Where it sits in the data
VidDay's $80K a month is higher than 86% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.
Currency
All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.
Could you build something like this?
The buyer is the person creating a gift, while contributors may be friends, family, coworkers, or team members who submit material. Distribution would need to reach people around birthdays, weddings, retirements, graduations, anniversaries, and other meaningful milestones. The site does not disclose which channels produce customers.
The hard parts are managing uploads and video processing, keeping editing simple, supporting contributors, handling private media, and maintaining reliable delivery across MP4 files, private links, and Video Book Keepsakes. Competition would be a general consideration for any business selling personalized gifting products, but the pages reviewed do not describe the competitive landscape.
Verdict: Needs real work.
One thing to take from it
VidDay’s clearest product lesson is to sell a finished keepsake rather than only an editing tool. One link handles collection, editing tools shape the result, and delivery options turn submitted messages and photos into a gift for the recipient.
