The differences

Where they part ways.

The choices Cardboard and BeHooked made differently, and what each one means for your work.

Editing vs generation

Cardboard: Cardboard edits footage you bring, and sources B-roll from stock libraries.
BeHooked: BeHooked generates new video, images and audio from 38 video, 45 image and 18 audio models. It has no multi-track timeline; finish a long edit in your editor of choice.

The agent's job

Cardboard: Cardboard's AI director makes cuts, reframes, captions and pacing changes on a timeline.
BeHooked: Superagent plans generation steps, picks the apps, runs them in order and asks before it spends credits.

How you pay

Cardboard: Subscriptions from $32 a month with usage limits by tier, and credit top-ups from $10.
BeHooked: Monthly credits, starting with Pro at ₹2,900 for 60,000 credits, or pay-as-you-go packs from ₹500. Credits are quoted before each run.

Finishing overlap

BeHooked: BeHooked offers Dynamic Captions, Podcast Clipper, and translation into 175+ languages with voice cloning as separate apps.

FAQs

Questions, answered.

What people ask when they are choosing between Cardboard and BeHooked.

Is BeHooked a good Cardboard alternative?

Not for editing your own footage on a timeline; Cardboard is built for that and BeHooked has no multi-track editor. BeHooked fits when you need to generate the footage, images or audio in the first place.

Can I use BeHooked and Cardboard together?

Yes. You can generate clips, voiceovers or music in BeHooked, then bring them into an editor such as Cardboard for the cut.

Do both do captions and translation?

Yes. Cardboard captions and dubs inside its editor; BeHooked has Dynamic Captions and translation into 175+ languages with voice cloning.

Which is cheaper, Cardboard or BeHooked?

They charge differently. Cardboard starts at $32 a month; BeHooked has no subscription requirement, with pay-as-you-go packs from ₹500, or Pro at ₹2,900 a month.

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.
