CapCut plans & pricing
| 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 |
Last verified 2026-09-10. 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.
