CapCut plans & pricing
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Billing | Notes | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free (CapCut Standard) | $0 | — | Flat monthly | 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 monthly | $19.99 per month for individual users — a genuine month-to-month rate, which is what is recorded as the monthly price. 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 STALE · 2026-09-10 | not priced monthly | — | Custom / quote | 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 no monthly price is recorded 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 2026-11-01. STALE marks a plan we have not re-checked at its source in over 30 days. 1 of 3 plans above is marked. 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 no monthly price is recorded for Team. An earlier version of this record's '1024 GB' Pro storage claim was specifically challenged on the second fetch and confirmed ('approximately 1024 GB of cloud storage'). New fact added on this read that an earlier version of this record missed: the free Standard tier's former 1 GB of cloud storage was discontinued as of August 2024, so free users now get none.

This standing as a plaque
CapCut currently holds a bronze deskmark here — Rank 11 of 13 · Video Editing. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm, which never reads commission data. We never ask anyone to show it, and its link carries rel="nofollow".
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if CapCut moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
