Studio-quality,
no studio needed.

When quality drops, so does your credibility.

is shaky, your final result will always come out looking and sounding professional.

The “wait, that’s it?”
kind of easy.

Just send your customers a link, and they can record right from their browser, no downloads needed. Or let them record async, on their own time. Once they’re done, the file is ready to edit—no need for them to send anything.

Edit all on your own. Zero dependencies.

a professional, on-brand testimonial video.

Record once, repurpose everywhere.

Get AI generated social media clips, transcriptions, and captions from each recording and with just a few clicks, turn your testimonial into social content, quotes, posts, case studies, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

How long should a video testimonial be?

A good video testimonial is usually between 30 seconds and 2 minutes. Shorter videos (30–60 seconds) are great for quick, punchy social proof, while slightly longer ones (1–2 minutes) allow for a bit more story and detail.

Are video testimonials effective?

Yes, video testimonials are highly effective. In fact, 72% of consumers say positive testimonials and reviews increase their trust in a business, and 2 out of 3 people say they'd be more likely to make a purchase after watching a testimonial video. Video adds a layer of authenticity and emotion that written reviews just can’t match, making it a powerful tool for building trust and driving conversions.

Do testimonials on websites work?

Yes, testimonials on websites work really well. 92% of people read testimonials when considering a purchase, and 88% trust them as much as personal recommendations. Adding them to your site can boost credibility and influence buying decisions.

Are testimonials copyrighted?

Yes, in most cases, the person who creates the testimonial, whether it's written, audio, or video, owns the original content. That’s why it’s always a good idea to get clear permission before using someone’s testimonial in your marketing. It ensures everyone’s on the same page, helps avoid any copyright issues, and lets you share their feedback with confidence.
