videos.me vs Moment Saved, honestly.
Moment Saved makes a keepsake rather than a film: guests leave a moment, which can be a video, a voice note, a photograph or something written, and the collection is replayable later. They charge once per keepsake by how many moments it holds, from $25, with a year of hosting included. If some of the people you are asking would rather write than record, that is a real advantage of theirs.
videos.me collects video and assembles one film that plays start to finish, priced by the videos you actually receive. The practical difference for most organisers is the start: creating a collection and gathering videos is free here and the whole loop works before any payment, where Moment Saved publishes no free tier and no trial. If you are not yet sure how many people will reply, that is the difference worth weighing.

Where Moment Saved wins
- Written and voice moments: the people who will not go on camera are served directly, not talked round.
- Written and voice moments sit beside the photographs and video, so a contributor who will not record at all still has a way in.
- Signage is part of the product: the QR sign is generated where the keepsake already lives, rather than on a separate page you paste a link into.
- One fixed price up front, for anyone who would rather not have a bill that moves with participation.
Where videos.me wins
- The whole loop works before payment: collect, compile, watch, share and download, then decide.
- Price tracks participation: six replies cost $2.10, and silence costs nothing.
- One film that plays through at the party, rather than a page people take turns scrolling.
- Portrait phone clips fill the frame instead of sitting boxed in the middle.
Moment Saved facts read from momentsaved.com/pricing and their milestone birthday page, 12 October 2026. First reading; we have no earlier one to compare it against. Their features and prices are theirs to change; check their site for current details.
Is videos.me cheaper than Moment Saved?
For most collections, yes, and the gap is widest when few people reply: six videos cost $2.10 on pay as you go against their lowest published tier of $25. Their price is fixed in advance, though, which some people prefer to a bill that moves with participation. For a year of occasions the shapes diverge sharply, because every Moment Saved keepsake is a fresh one-time purchase; the worked totals for both are on our cost comparison page.
Can contributors send a written message or a photo instead of a video?
On Moment Saved, yes: a moment can be video, voice, a photograph or written text. On videos.me a photograph yes, and it rides along free, never using a video slot. We collect video rather than written notes, because a face and a voice carry what a typed note cannot. If most of the people you are asking would rather write than record, a keepsake page is a different kind of thing from a film.
Do you have a QR code for the party table?
Yes, two ways. Paste your collection link into our poster page and it makes a wall poster or a table tent that folds in half and stands on a table, with your QR code, the question you want answered, and a record-by date; the code is drawn in your browser and the link is not sent anywhere, and you print it. Or ask us and we will print and ship to the venue. That second one is by request rather than something you order from the page. Moment Saved generates its QR signage inside the product, which is the tidier self-serve version of the same idea.
What happens after a year?
Different models. Moment Saved includes a year of hosting and then charges an optional $10 a year to keep the keepsake live, with downloads still free if it lapses. On videos.me, unlocked videos are yours for life: watch them, share a private link, or download in full quality.
Which is better for a memorial or a milestone with older contributors?
Consider what the contributors can manage. If some of them would struggle to record themselves, Moment Saved lets them write or send a voice note instead, which is a lower bar. If the people you are asking can record, one film of faces and voices playing through is a different thing from a page of mixed posts, and that is what we make.
Capture every angle of the moments you’ll never get back.
Two minutes to set up, free to create, and nothing to pay until you unlock your videos.
Will people actually record something?
They open the link and record in their browser. Nothing to install, and no account to make.
What if I set it up and nobody sends anything?
Creating a collection is free, and you pay when you unlock your videos. An empty collection costs you nothing.
What do I even ask people to say?
Every occasion page here comes with prompt ideas you can send as they are, or write your own.
