CapCut Pricing (2026): Pro Is $19.99/Month, $179.99/Year

This guide covers the plans on CapCut’s pricing page (Free, Pro, Ultra, Teams) and the Standard tier sold in app stores. Prices come from CapCut’s pricing page, help center and store listings, checked October 27, 2026. We did not buy or test any plan. See how we research.

CapCut pricing plans at a glance

All figures are US dollars. The pricing page calls its numbers “for reference only” and says final prices, taxes and offers appear after you sign in. Standard comes from the US App Store listing; the help center says it is offered in certain regions only.

Is CapCut free?

Yes. The app is free to download and the Free plan costs $0. Paid plans add premium templates, AI features, credits and cloud storage. CapCut’s comparison page (September 23, 2026) calls Standard “the free version,” but the App Store and help center sell it as a paid plan, so we treat Standard as paid.

Watch the watermark. The help center (March 25, 2026) says it usually comes from a template’s ending clip or logo layer, not from the export. Another help page (April 2, 2026) says a project with any Pro-marked element needs Pro to export, and that mobile users who dismiss the Pro prompt can still export with a CapCut watermark.

CapCut Pro price: monthly vs yearly

The CapCut Pro price is $19.99 per month or $179.99 per year in the US, per CapCut’s pricing page. Yearly works out to $15.00 a month and saves $59.89, about 25%, against 12 monthly payments. The US App Store also lists Pro Monthly at $19.99, so monthly billing matched on web and iPhone.

• No lifetime plan listed. The pricing page shows monthly and yearly billing only.
• Yearly pays off after about nine months. Nine monthly payments cost $179.91.
• The “60% OFF” label. The yearly toggle tags Pro “60% OFF” with no base price shown. Against 12 monthly payments the saving is 25%.
• No switching mid-term. The help center (March 26, 2026) says to cancel, wait for the period to end, then resubscribe.
• Renewal price. The help center (April 8, 2026) says CapCut has no plans to raise it for current users and will give advance notice of changes.
• Older numbers. The US App Store also lists unlabeled lines at $7.99 monthly and $89.99 yearly. CapCut does not say which plans they are, so we do not treat them as Pro prices.

CapCut Black Friday deal

CapCut’s Black Friday page describes a sale from October 20 to October 30, 2026, with up to 60% off Pro and up to 40% off Ultra, marked “PC only.” Annual plans are paid in full, the discount covers one annual term, and the plan renews at the regular price unless you cancel. Eligibility depends on your subscription history, and the final offer appears only after you download CapCut Desktop. CapCut publishes no sale price.

What CapCut Pro includes

Pro lists 1,200 AI credits a month and Ultra lists 8,645. The help center says Pro credits rose from 550 to 1,200 and storage from 100 GB to 1 TB. Subscription credits expire when each subscription month ends, and purchased credits last two years (CapCut’s credit rules).

For AI video, the Pro card lists Seedance 2.5 from $0.12 per second and Seedance 2.0 Mini at 480p from $0.007 per second, both marked “first month.” At the first-month Seedance 2.5 rate, a 30-second clip starts at $3.60 (our arithmetic).

The help center names 4K/60fps and watermark-free export among Pro features. CapCut publishes no Free export cap, so check the export screen. For a feature-by-feature view, read our CapCut Pro review.

CapCut Standard, Ultra and Teams

• Standard: $9.99 per month on the US App Store. CapCut says it is built for mobile, and PC membership features need Pro. It includes blue-diamond items (not purple) and basic AI tools.
• Ultra: $79 per month or $900 per year ($75 a month, saving $48). It adds credits and “exclusive AI features” that the pricing page does not name.
• Teams: $12.49 per seat per month for 2 seats, $12 for 5. Other seat counts show $20, and CapCut’s comparison page says “around $24.99.”

CapCut pricing by platform

The help center (February 28, 2026) says desktop Pro can cost more than mobile on purpose but gives no figures. Some third-party guides say app-store prices run higher than web prices, yet US Pro monthly was $19.99 on both the App Store and the web.

CapCut pricing by country

These are the monthly Standard and Pro lines on CapCut’s App Store listing in each storefront on October 27, 2026, in local currency.

The CapCut price differs by country, and Pro costs about twice Standard in every storefront above. CapCut attributes the gaps to taxes (its example is a 20% VAT), exchange rates and local markets. Brazil, Indonesia and the Philippines also list a “Standard Yearly Subscription”; the US listing shows only an unlabeled yearly line.

CapCut free trial

CapCut’s help center (page dated April 2, 2026) says it offers a 7-day free trial of Pro to eligible new users in supported regions.

Cancel a trial with more than a day to spare, since CapCut’s 24-hour rule is written for renewals.

How to get CapCut Pro for free in 2026

There is no free Pro plan. Use the 7-day trial if it appears for your account, stay on the Free plan and skip anything marked with the Pro diamond, or check your checkout price, since CapCut says promotions can target selected accounts.

Is CapCut Pro worth it for Shorts creators?

This is our judgment from the listed prices, not a hands-on test. For most Shorts, the Free plan covers cutting, text and free-library music. Pro pays off when Pro-tagged assets, AI credits or 1 TB of storage are part of your weekly work.

• Stay on Free if you trim clips and add captions yourself.
• Pay monthly for one project, and cancel before the renewal date.
• Pay yearly only if you would keep Pro for nine months or more.
• Check the payoff. Read the YouTube Shorts monetization rules before assuming $180 a year pays for itself.

Canceling CapCut Pro: the basics

1. Cancel where you subscribed: the App Store, Google Play or CapCut’s website.
2. Cancel at least 24 hours before renewal. A CapCut subscription renews automatically, so otherwise CapCut charges you and starts a new billing cycle.
3. Do not count on a refund. The help center calls subscriptions virtual goods that generally do not support refunds.
