Each action is paid for with credits. - **Category:** YouTube SEO Tools - **Made by:** HookPop - **Website:** https://www.hookpop.app - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Tight if you post to socials, since a full run with all four networks is about 49 credits and an X post alone is 25. - **Facts last checked:** Oct 23, 2026 ## Pricing As of Oct 23, 2026, HookPop is a paid product with a free trial, starting at $12 per month for 500 credits. - **Pricing model:** Free trial - **Free plan:** None. - **Free trial:** 100 free credits on signup, no card required; they do not refill. | Plan | Price | What you get | | --- | --- | --- | | Creator | $12 per month for 500 credits | About 18 full runs.

Prices change, so confirm with HookPop before buying. ## Key features - **Video-aware rewrites:** Writes a title, a description with chapter timestamps and hashtags, and tags from what happens in the video, with the thumbnail taken into account. - **Auto-Run:** Off by default; once on, it handles each new public upload in 2 to 5 minutes, limited to title only, YouTube only or the full run as you choose. - **Social announcements:** Posts captions written for each network to X, Facebook, Threads and, on paid plans, LinkedIn, at once or after a delay of 1 to 24 hours. - **Run history and undo:** Keeps the original and rewritten title for every video and reverts a change in one click; titles can be regenerated or compared in variations. - **Bulk optimization and channel audit:** Pro runs the same settings across a backlog of older videos and finds a channel's weakest videos. ## Good for - Creators who skip writing descriptions and social posts after uploading - Channels that announce every video on X, Facebook, Threads or LinkedIn - Non-English channels: it writes in 16 languages ## Worth knowing - The free account gets 100 credits once, without Auto-Run; more credits cost $1 per 100, $9 per 1,000 or $40 per 5,000. - Credits go fast with social posting: a full run with all four networks is about 49 credits, and an X post alone is 25. - Credits are non-refundable except where the law requires, including those spent by Auto-Run. - Creator allows Auto-Run on a single channel; more channels, bulk optimization and the channel audit need Pro. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. HookPop rewrites a new upload's title, description and tags from what's in the video, then posts an announcement to X, Facebook, Threads and LinkedIn, with every change logged and undoable. Credits run out fast once social posts are on, the 100 free ones never refill, and Auto-Run on more than one channel means Pro at $29 a month. - **Value for money: B.** Creator is $12 a month for 500 credits, about 18 full runs, which sits right at this category's cheaper quarter. Pro is $29 for 2,000 credits, and top-ups run from $1 per 100 to $40 per 5,000. - **Free plan and trial: C.** 100 credits on signup with no card, enough for about 2 full runs with all four social networks. They never refill, and Auto-Run isn't included. - **Features: C.** Rewrites titles, descriptions with chapters and tags, posts to four social networks, logs and undoes every change, and on Pro runs a backlog and a channel audit. It does the after-upload packaging; the listing shows no keyword research or analytics. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. You connect your channel and each social account, then switch on Auto-Run and keep an eye on credits, as an X post alone is 25. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, connected to YouTube, X, Facebook, Threads and LinkedIn. No phone or desktop app, extension or API on record. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from HookPop's own pages on 23 October 2026.
