Hook analysis is valuable: if people leave in the first seconds, nothing else matters. VidCognition’s focus on the opening makes sense for very short videos and ads.
Choose Repli if your Reels run longer than 30 seconds, or you also want feedback on the middle, the payoff, the caption and the call to action, plus a comparison with your own past Reels.
