How it is calculated
Method: the formulas below are plain arithmetic on the numbers you enter. The Hookframe prices come from the packages section of this site (checked October 30, 2026). The "cheapest mix" tries every combination of Single Ads, 3-Ad Packs and Monthly Bundles that covers your video count and picks the lowest total.
- cost per creator video = creator fee + product and shipping + usage fee + (hours x hourly value)
- creators, total = cost per creator video x videos per month
- Hookframe, cheapest mix = lowest total of $149 singles, $399 3-Ad Packs and $1,200 Monthly Bundles (10 ads each) covering at least your videos
Things this does not capture: real creators and AI-generated creators are different products, with different looks, claims and platform-label rules. Hookframe ads use AI-generated people, which we disclose. Turnaround, revisions and usage rights also differ, so price is only one factor. Check our Terms for what is included.

Frequently asked questions
Is a Hookframe ad the same thing as a real UGC creator video?
No. Hookframe ads use AI-generated creators, and we say so. They are not real customers, they have not used your product, and you switch on the AI-content label that platforms require when you run the ads. Real creators and AI creators are different products, so price is only one factor.
What should I count as the cost of a creator video?
The calculator adds four things: the creator fee, product and shipping, any usage or licensing fee, and your own time (hours multiplied by what your time is worth). If you leave a field at zero, it is left out.
How does the calculator pick the cheapest Hookframe mix?
It checks every combination of $149 Single Ads, $399 3-Ad Packs and $1,200 Monthly Bundles (10 ads each) that gives at least the number of videos you entered, then shows the lowest total. For some video counts a bigger package costs less than buying singles.
Does the Hookframe price include ad spend or posting?
No. Ad spend, media buying and posting to your accounts are not included. Commercial use of the finished ads for your paid and organic advertising is included.
Can I cancel the Monthly Bundle?
Yes. It is month to month. Email hello@hookframeads.com before your next billing date and we cancel your subscription and confirm by email. Unused ads do not roll over. The Terms have the details.
