Which models you use

FAQs
Questions, answered.
What people ask when they are choosing between VideoExpress and BeHooked.
Is BeHooked a good VideoExpress alternative?
It is if you want to choose named models and use apps for ads, translation and upscaling. If you want a single payment and a built-in timeline editor, VideoExpress fits that better.
Which is cheaper, VideoExpress or BeHooked?
VideoExpress costs less up front: $49 or $179 once, within monthly fair-use caps. BeHooked charges credits per run, with pay-as-you-go packs from ₹500, so over time the cost depends on how much you generate and which models you run.
Can I choose which AI model makes my video?
On BeHooked, yes: you pick the model for each run, including Veo, Kling, Seedance, Wan and Hailuo. VideoExpress does not name the models it uses.
Does BeHooked have a timeline editor like VideoExpress?
No. BeHooked generates and finishes clips and does not include a multi-track timeline editor. VideoExpress includes a timeline editor in both plans.
What can I actually do with what I generate, including commercial use?
You own the outputs you generate, to the extent they can be owned, and you may use them commercially. We claim no licence over them beyond what is needed to store them in your library and deliver them to you. Note that the legal status of machine-generated output is unsettled in some jurisdictions — we can grant everything we hold, but not rights that nobody holds.
