## Plans

| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Billing | Notes | Source |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Free (CapCut Standard) | $0 | — | flat | Genuinely free tier, referred to on CapCut's page as 'CapCut Standard' rather than a separate paid Standard product. Covers cutting, trimming, merging and splitting, filters, transitions and visual effects, text, captions and stickers, and basic audio adjustments and voice effects. Premium templates, effects and the AI tools are withheld. Worth knowing: the 1 GB of free cloud storage this tier used to include was discontinued as of August 2024, so free projects no longer sync. | capcut.com |
| Pro | $19.99 | — | flat | $19.99 per month for individual users — a genuine month-to-month rate, which is what sits in monthlyUsd. The yearly option is $179.99 per year, a 25% saving against twelve monthly payments of $239.88, though the page does not print that percentage itself. Includes advanced AI tools (auto caption generator, background remover, motion tracking, noise reduction, AI video, AI music, AI image generator), premium templates and exclusive effects, premium stock resources, approximately 1024 GB of cloud storage and collaboration features. Major caveat printed on the page: 'Prices can vary by region, platform (mobile, desktop, or web), taxes, and promotional discounts' — subscribing through the iOS or Google Play store commonly costs more than through the website or desktop app. | capcut.com |
| Team | not priced monthly | — | custom | No firm price is published: CapCut's page says only that the Team plan 'Starts at around $24.99 per month', which is a hedged starting figure rather than a rate card, so monthlyUsd is null rather than carrying an approximate number. Aimed at collaborative group editing with enhanced project management. capcut.com/business redirects to a separate commerce site that was not treated as a pricing source. | capcut.com |

## Price changes

No change record has cleared two sources yet, so nothing is published on the wire.

**Key features:** Free tier with a genuinely usable editing toolset across mobile, desktop and web; AI auto-captioning, background removal and motion tracking bundled into a single consumer price; Approximately 1 TB of cloud storage included with Pro, against none on the free tier.

**Plan limits:** No server-rendered rate card: capcut.com/pricing is a 404 and prices appear only in an official comparison article; Prices vary by region, platform, taxes and promotions — the page says so explicitly; App Store and Google Play purchases typically cost more than buying via the website or desktop app; Team plan price is published only as an approximate starting figure, so it cannot be treated as a rate; Free Standard tier has no cloud storage at all — the former 1 GB allowance was discontinued in August 2024; Premium templates, effects, stock and all AI tools are Pro-only.

Provenance: capcut.com/pricing returns HTTP 404, so prices come from CapCut's own official comparison page at capcut.com/resource/capcut-standard-vs-pro, re-fetched twice on 2026-09-10. Confirmed verbatim: 'Monthly plan: $19.99 per month for individual users' and 'Yearly plan: $179.99 per year'. The Team plan is described only as 'Starts at around $24.99 per month' — a hedged starting figure, not a rate card — so no number is recorded and Team carries monthlyUsd null. The draft's '1024 GB' Pro storage claim was specifically challenged on the second fetch and confirmed ('approximately 1024 GB of cloud storage'). New fact added this pass that the draft missed: the free Standard tier's former 1 GB of cloud storage was discontinued as of August 2024, so free users now get none.
