VoiceHug vs Kudoboard
Kudoboard is a group card: everyone adds a post with text, a photo, a GIF or a video, and the recipient scrolls the board. VoiceHug collects only voices and mixes them into one recording the recipient plays from start to finish.

Choose Kudoboard if
- You want a visual card: photos, GIFs and written messages people can read at a glance.
- Your company already pays for Kudoboard, with Slack or Teams, branding and SSO.
- Some contributors would rather type than speak.
Choose VoiceHug if
- You want something that moves the recipient more than a card. People say more out loud than they write in a card box.
- A big group: VoiceHug is $9.99 for unlimited people; an unlimited Kudoboard is $19.99.
- The recipient will keep it: an MP3 plays anywhere, for years, without a board link.
Moving a Kudoboard group to VoiceHug
Start a VoiceHug and record your own message first, so people hear how it sounds.
Post the invite link in the same group chat, email thread or Slack channel you were going to use. People record from the link or send a WhatsApp voice note.
You see who has recorded and can remind anyone invited by email. When you are ready, VoiceHug mixes every message into one MP3 and gives you a gift page to send.
Questions
- Can I use VoiceHug for a work leaving card?
- Yes. Post one link in Slack or Teams; colleagues record in the browser without an account, and the person leaving never sees the link.
- Can people write a message instead of recording?
- No. VoiceHug is voice only. If some of the group will only write, a board such as Kudoboard suits them better.
- How much does VoiceHug cost?
- Free for the organizer plus up to 5 contributors. For larger groups it is a one-time $9.99, with no limit on contributors and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Contributors never pay.
