Questions, answered

Is there a cheaper AutoShorts alternative with hook-first scripts?

Kineo Starter is $4.90 for the first month and then $9.90/month. It builds each Short around a hook structure with footage matched to the narration. Every new account starts with a full Creator trial — 40 credits, every engine except Studio, no card — and keeps 1 free Fast video per month after it ends.

Why do AI faceless videos sometimes get no views?

Usually the script and footage. A faceless Short lives or dies on the hook and the first 2 seconds. Kineo writes a hook-first script and matches specific footage per line, which is what holds retention.

Can I try it before paying?

Yes. Every new account starts with a full Creator trial — 40 credits, every engine except Studio, no card — and keeps 1 free Fast video per month after it ends. Paid plans include a 7-day money-back guarantee.
