Frequently Asked Questions
Is HookLab AI really one-time payment? No subscription?
Yes. Pay $4.99 once for Pro Pack, or $7.99 once for Pro+ Pack. You own it forever. We will never add a subscription tier.
What's the difference between Pro Pack and Pro+ Pack?
Pro Pack ($4.99) unlocks unlimited generations, all 10 hook styles, and unlimited favorites. Pro+ Pack ($7.99) adds daily AI-curated trending topics and bulk export to CSV/Notion. Both are one-time purchases.
How does the daily trending topics feature work?
Every 24 hours, our system uses Claude AI to generate 20 fresh trending topic ideas across 13 creator niches. You tap any topic to instantly fill your hook generator. No manual research, no scrolling Twitter for trends.
Can I export my hooks to Notion?
Yes — Pro+ Pack includes bulk export to Notion-friendly Markdown and CSV. Your favorites and generation history are formatted with proper headings, ready to paste into a Notion database or open as a spreadsheet.
What if I outgrow the Free tier limits?
Free tier gives you 3 generations per day, 5 hook styles, and 50 favorites — perfect to test if HookLab fits your workflow. Pro Pack removes all limits for $4.99 once, no recurring billing.
How is HookLab different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is generalist. HookLab is engineered specifically for short-form video hooks: 10 specialized styles, curated library, premium AI, native iOS app. Plus, no subscription.
What platforms does it support?
HookLab is designed for short-form video creators on TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and similar platforms. The hooks work for any vertical video format.
Will my hooks be unique?
Every generation is unique to your topic. HookLab doesn't reuse the same outputs. Each hook is freshly written by Claude AI for your specific input.
Do you collect my data?
No. We use zero third-party analytics. Your topics and generated hooks stay on your device. We only send the topic text to Claude AI (Anthropic) to generate the hooks — no other data leaves your device.
