VibeoTV

Market signal

VibeoTV sits in the lowest rating band in this batch with very small scale. The iTunes Lookup API measures 1.53 stars from 19 US ratings, Chrome Stats records 1.50 from 19, and FoxData records 1.71. Its Chrome Stats overall ranking is No. 413,366, down 2,768 places, indicating minimal visibility. Third-party rankings on 30 September 2026 gave a composite score of just 0.5 with coverage of one market. Against that, the parent's resources are substantial: a 13 October 2026 jwview.net report confirms VibeoTV belongs to Hunan Qinjiu Network Technology alongside Elyon and Nyxora as products of its matrix-plus-differentiation strategy, and states that the group's in-house full-chain platform cuts production cost by more than 80% versus live shooting, raising monthly output from about 100 titles to about 1,000, with VIP membership across its overseas apps passing 100,000. VibeoTV is the low-price position in that matrix: subscriptions at $12.99 weekly, $24.99 monthly, $69.99 quarterly and $129.99 annually, clearly below its sibling Elyon.

Product & content format

On content format, VibeoTV positions itself as a combined short-drama and short-video platform rather than a pure short-drama aggregator. Its store copy works on two levels — captivating short dramas and a variety of short videos — and explicitly offers a free-episode mechanism: try the first few episodes free, then decide whether to unlock the rest, ensuring you only pay for content you like. Genres cover suspense, romance, comedy and fantasy, with the copy describing coverage from urban romance to adventures in other worlds — a generic formulation. There is no public standard for episode count or duration. Monetisation is the clearest price structure in this batch. The iOS auto-renewable terms list four tiers side by side: continuous weekly at $12.99, continuous monthly at $24.99, continuous quarterly at $69.99 and continuous annual at $129.99, with price falling as the period lengthens and no weekly coin packs or one-off purchases at all. That stands in sharp contrast to Elyon's dozen-plus items that are mostly weekly, and is a direct illustration of price-band differentiation inside one group. Two documentation notes: the privacy policy sits at vibeoshort.com rather than the product-name domain vibeotv.com, indicating the site predates or differs from the app name; and the Google Play developer name under package com.vibeo.tv was not obtained, though it corresponds consistently to the iOS naming. Content notes on iOS include mild mature and horror/fear themes. Coverage is English only.

Key figures

Company background

VibeoTV's attribution received authoritative media confirmation this round, with one correction to the batch file. The App Store seller is SINGAPORE QIN JIU MEDIA CULTURE PTE. LTD. (Singapore Qin Jiu Media), bundleId com.vibeo.tv, with the site field, privacy policy and membership agreement all pointing to the vibeoshort.com domain. The batch file attributed it to Hunan Qinjiu Network Technology / Singapore Qin Jiu Media (Qinjiu group), and a 13 October 2026 jwview report confirms the group relationship, recording that Hunan Qinjiu Network Technology was formerly Yeting Culture, began in web-fiction distribution and has since pivoted to short-drama export, and specifically naming Elyon, Nyxora and VibeoTV among its products densely ranked on overseas charts. That report, however, names products rather than the contracting entity, so the direct equity chain between VibeoTV and Hunan Qinjiu is still not publicly substantiated. What can be confirmed is that both sit inside one group brand system and that the Singapore entity is one of the group's overseas release vehicles — the same group operates this product batch through other entities too, with Elyon under Changsha Wanman and Nyxora's entity undisclosed. Three gaps should be stated. First, SINGAPORE QIN JIU MEDIA CULTURE PTE. LTD.'s Singapore registration details — UEN, registered address, directors and shareholders — were not obtained. Second, Hunan Qinjiu Network Technology's own registration details were not obtained; the report mentions only its former name.

Competitor scan

• ElyonSame-company product

  Changsha Wanman Network Technology (Hunan Qinjiu Network Technology)

  The clearest illustration of intra-group price-band differentiation, with a quantifiable relationship. VibeoTV runs four tiers at $12.99 weekly, $24.99 monthly, $69.99 quarterly and $129.99 annually; Elyon runs a $49.99 monthly VIP plus a dozen-plus mostly-weekly purchase items including $19.99, $99.99 and $199.99 weekly tiers. VibeoTV's weekly tier is roughly one-seventh of Elyon's, while its annual tier is comparable to Elyon's top weekly tier annualised — the group uses VibeoTV for price-sensitive users and Elyon for high-payers.

• ShortenDirect competitor

  SHORTEN MEDYA TICARET ANONIM SIRKETI

  The closest price-band comparison. Sensor Tower records Shorten's weekly subscriptions coexisting at $5.99, $7.99, $9.99, $12.99 and $14.99 with an annual tier at $49.99, so VibeoTV's $12.99 weekly tier matches Shorten's fifth tier exactly while its $129.99 annual tier is roughly 2.6 times Shorten's annual. Shorten uses five weekly tiers plus annual as a multi-price test structure; VibeoTV uses four single-direction declining period tiers — clearer in structure but without a low-price test position.

• NyxoraSame-company product

  Hunan Qinjiu Network Technology

  The group's third product, appearing in third-party rankings on both 23 September (rank 80, composite 0.8) and 30 September (rank 68, 0.9). All three sit inside the Qin Jiu matrix, which per the jwview report splits a limited number of good dramas into multiple standalone app packages and uses algorithms to decide which content pairs with which package and which users in which region.

User acquisition

VibeoTV has disclosed no user-acquisition data: no channel-level spend, creative volume, ROI or creative library. Three indirect signals exist, all pointing the same way — buying intensity is extremely low. First, its Chrome Stats overall ranking is No. 413,366, down 2,768 places, the least visible of the 25 products here, indicating near-absence from store search and recommendations. Second, AppInsider gives no install estimate at all (recorded as –), while most cohort products disclose at least 1,000 to 10,000 cumulative iOS installs however small. Third, third-party rankings gave a composite score of 0.5 with one market covered on 30 September 2026, and VibeoTV appears among the five new entrants in the 13 October summary. FoxData records a visibility score of 15 on a 100-point scale — above zero but still low. Combined assessment: VibeoTV is effectively in an organic-traffic state, with buying either not yet started or minimal, and its low-price position within the group matrix may also imply lower resource priority. Directions checked: Chrome Stats app page, the iTunes Lookup API, FoxData mobile app report, the short-drama overseas ranking, and the jwview report on Qin Jiu's matrix strategy. Not checked: Sensor Tower / AppMagic / AppGrowing paid databases, DataEye-ADX overseas short-drama records, or Meta and TikTok ad-library domain queries for vibeoshort.com.

KOL & social

No KOL partnership or social content campaign has been disclosed for VibeoTV. Its site field and document host are both vibeoshort.com, but no catalogue page or social entry point content was obtained from it this round. Its presence in English short-drama content ecosystems is minimal — FoxData, Chrome Stats and the short-drama overseas ranking provide only automated metadata records, with no human review or influencer case analysis. Chrome Stats even lists it alongside VionTV, DramaVibe and DramaDrama: Short Reels as similar-looking products, indicating it appears in third-party databases primarily as a homogenous small-volume product rather than as a content asset with independent distribution value. One indirect group-level thread exists: the jwview report notes Qinjiu has a dedicated market-analysis department studying genre patterns worldwide, selecting stories with global emotional resonance and guiding the writing team accordingly — a content methodology disclosure, but on the content side rather than social promotion. Combined assessment: promotion relies on organic traffic; this section records no public signal for KOL or social activity.

Hypothesis test

Hypothesis: VibeoTV's low visibility and low rating stem not from insufficient buying but from its low-price position within the Qin Jiu matrix, which leaves it with lower resource priority as the group directs spend and content resources to higher-priced siblings such as Elyon. Supporting evidence. First, the parent is not weak: the jwview report records that Qin Jiu's in-house full-chain platform cuts production cost by more than 80% versus live shooting, raising monthly output from about 100 titles to about 1,000, with overseas VIP membership passing 100,000 — so content capacity and a paying user base are both established. Second, the three group products diverge sharply: Elyon is estimated by Sensor Tower at about $400,000 in revenue last month, while AppInsider gives VibeoTV no install estimate at all; Nyxora likewise sits at composite scores of 0.8 to 0.9 — of the three, only Elyon has verifiable revenue scale. Third, VibeoTV carries the lowest price of any group product at $12.99 weekly, while the higher-priced Novique at $19.99 weekly fluctuated between 1.4 and 4.1 — above VibeoTV's 0.5 — showing that lower price does not automatically produce better chart performance. Counter-evidence: if low resource priority were the main cause, ratings should look like low investment with little user dissatisfaction, yet both visibility and rating are low, implying existing users also have product problems. A second reading cannot be excluded — VibeoTV may simply be a minimal package the group configured to cover a particular low-price segment and not be expected to carry scale targets. Falsification test: if buying intensity rises (AppInsider begins showing install estimates, Sensor Tower flags active advertising) alongside a rating recovery, the resource-priority hypothesis holds. If buying and ratings stay flat, a strategic minimum configuration is more likely. Combined verdict: unproven.

  The report records that China's microdrama user base reached 718 million by the first half of 2026, with export a growing choice for Xiangjiang New Area companies. On Qinjiu Network: it was formerly Yeting Culture, began in web-fiction distribution holding stories suitable for adaptation, and has since pivoted to short-drama export; its in-house full-chain platform cuts production cost by more than 80% versus live shooting, raising monthly output from about 100 titles to about 1,000; AI is deeply involved in its exported dramas from translation and dubbing to image generation; its approach is matrix plus differentiation — splitting a limited number of good dramas into multiple standalone app packages, using algorithms to decide which content pairs with which package and which users in which region — with Elyon, Nyxora and VibeoTV densely ranked on overseas charts and VIP membership across its overseas apps passing 100,000; its market-analysis team studies genre patterns worldwide, selects stories with global emotional resonance and guides the writing team accordingly. This is the most authoritative primary reporting on the Qin Jiu group and the key evidence for VibeoTV's group attribution.

  The 30 September table records VibeoTV at a composite score of 0.5, rank 85, with one market covered, attributed to Hunan Qinjiu Network Technology / Singapore Qin Jiu Media (Qinjiu group). The 13 October 2026 summary records five new entrants including the Qinjiu group's VibeoTV, alongside RedShort, MiniTV, HoneyReels and Gorogoro; it also records the largest gainer as Hong Kong Moxian's Cinerra (up 27 places) and the largest decliners as HongKong Liutuo's SixthShort (down 25) and the Qinjiu group's Novique (down 23). The ranking is third-party compiled material.

User feedback

• App Store 1.53 stars from 19 ratings (US storefront, iTunes Lookup API, 14 Oct 2026); third-party readings are 1.50 from 19 (Chrome Stats) and 1.71 (FoxData) (19)

Common complaints

• Extremely low overall visibility: No. 413,366 on Chrome Stats and down 2,768 places, indicating near-absence from store search and recommendations.
• Iteration has stalled: from the 29 April 2025 launch to the 5 June 2026 update the version reached only 1.1.0 with a Bug Fix release note, showing no visible feature evolution.
• Very small rating sample at a low score: only 19 iOS ratings at 1.53 stars, with third-party readings as low as 1.50, meaning both existing user scale and satisfaction need verification.
• The document domain does not match the app name: privacy policy and membership agreement sit on vibeoshort.com rather than vibeotv.com, which may raise questions about the service provider for users who check.
• Weak third-party ranking performance: a composite score of just 0.5 with one market covered on 30 September 2026 reflects weak buying and content performance.

What users praise

• It retains a free preview entry: the copy explicitly offers the first few episodes free before users decide whether to unlock, a friendlier design among this batch of paid products that should reduce payment resistance.
• Clear pricing structure: four period tiers with prices declining in one direction and no hidden weekly coin packs, letting users judge long-term cost relatively easily before purchase.

Industry read

VibeoTV sits in a clear position in the 2026 landscape: mid-tier, volume-driven, retaining a free tier, with subscription as main revenue. The industry pressure is quantified: DataEye's January 2026 data shows 905 overseas advertising microdrama apps, down 18% month over month, with the ad-supported cohort falling from 515 to 405 (21%) and the in-app-purchase cohort only from 78 to 72 (8%) — pure paid products survive better, but the pool is only 72 titles, so capacity is limited. On scale, first-half 2026 overseas microdrama in-app revenue was $1.27 billion on 1.441 billion combined downloads, up about 79% year over year, with the top five at $8.27 to $11.93 revenue per download and MPA sizing them at close to 80% of the ex-China market. VibeoTV's $12.99 weekly tier sits at the lower edge of that band, roughly twentyfold below the spread from Shorten's $5.99 weekly to Elyon's $99.99 weekly. What decides outcomes for this class is the hardening of the free camp: PineDrama crossed 100 million downloads with about 7 million daily actives and held top-three Google Play positions in Indonesia for a full month, while Owl & Co.
