CapCut Pro Price 2026: Every Plan and What You Actually Get

CapCut sets a price per country, and the App Store adds local tax: outside the US and Canada, the App Store price already includes VAT or the local equivalent, while US sales tax is added at checkout. The same plan can also cost a different amount on Android, on the web or on desktop, and CapCut only shows those prices after you log in and tap Upgrade, so the price on your own subscription screen is the one you will pay.

The App Store in these countries lists a monthly Pro price but no yearly Pro price; only CapCut’s own article gives one, $179.99 a year in US dollars. In Argentina, Apple charges in US dollars, so your bank may add its own fees for a dollar payment. In India, CapCut is not available: it was among the apps blocked in 2020.

In early 2026 CapCut split its paid membership into Standard, Pro and Team plans. Newsweek reported on February 17, 2026 that the yearly Pro price rose from around $77 to $179.99 with no formal announcement; users noticed it through in-app notices and new pricing screens. Newsweek also cited Sonary reports that existing yearly subscribers could move to the new rate from February 20, 2026, and that some 1080p export options moved behind the paywall.

CapCut’s own explanation, in its help center: the new Pro plan raised AI credits from 550 to 1,200 a month and cloud storage from 100 GB to 1 TB, and Standard was added as a more budget-friendly option. CapCut also says prices fluctuate with promotions, operating costs, currency and regional pricing, and that it tests limited-time promotional prices on selected accounts. That is why two accounts can see different prices for the same plan.

A fixed price. CapCut says the price depends on your region, your device (web, desktop or app store), taxes and promotions, and that the price on the checkout page is the one that counts. The US App Store also lists a “Yearly Subscription” at $89.99 and an older “Monthly Subscription” at $7.99 without naming the plan, and CapCut’s promotional subscribe page advertised plans “from $9.99” a month and “from $89.99” a year as a limited-time offer when we checked. If another account shows a lower price after you have paid, CapCut says refunds are not supported.

Unlimited AI. Pro includes 1,200 AI credits a month for AI generation and editing. We could not find a published table of how many credits each AI tool uses.

Watermark-free exports on the free plan. A free export can be clean, but Pro templates, effects, fonts, music, premium transitions and AI tools all trigger the Pro prompt at export, and CapCut says removing the watermark from a video that uses Pro materials always requires Pro. In the mobile app, exports longer than 15 minutes can also need Pro (CapCut says the free limit varies by region).

Refunds and mid-term cancellation. CapCut subscriptions renew automatically, so cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date. CapCut treats subscriptions as virtual goods and generally does not refund them, though you can appeal special cases such as accidental double billing. CapCut’s Standard vs Pro article says a cancellation takes effect from the next billing period, not the current one.

Changing plans inside the app. If you subscribed on iPhone or Android, Apple or Google manages the subscription, so you switch plans or update payment there, not in CapCut. On desktop, the purchase goes through CapCut’s website.

Team seats. The Team plan starts at around $24.99 a month, and we found no published limit on how many members it covers.

Worth it if you edit on CapCut’s timeline most days and keep reaching for Pro templates, effects or AI tools, if you need 4K or 60fps exports, or if you move projects between phone and computer and use the 1 TB of cloud storage. Paying yearly ($179.99, about $15 a month) costs less than paying monthly ($239.88 over a year) if you will use it all year.

Try Standard first if you mainly want more templates and materials and 1080p is enough. Check what your own account shows, since CapCut doesn’t publish Standard’s limits.

Stay on the free plan if you edit with free assets and don’t need 4K: the core editor costs nothing, and you can delete the ending clip CapCut adds to some videos.

Look elsewhere if you mostly film yourself talking and want captions that start on their own and effects in one click instead of building every edit on a timeline, or if you edit client work and are uneasy with CapCut’s terms, which give CapCut a perpetual, sub-licensable license to content you upload.

CapCut Free or Standard. The cheapest option is CapCut itself: the free editor, or Standard at about $9.99 a month in the US App Store.

StoryCut (our product). Starter is $9/mo, or $7/mo billed yearly: 1080p exports with no watermark, videos up to 7 minutes and 20 videos at a time. Captions start on their own when the upload finishes, and Pro ($19/mo, or $14/mo billed yearly) adds auto sound effects, magic zoom, silence removal, clean audio, AI music and voice dubbing; sound effects, zoom, clean audio and music are one click each. It is not a timeline editor, and it runs only in the browser.

VEED. Creator is $20 a month, or $9.67 a month billed yearly ($116 a year), per user: 1080p with no watermark, unlimited export length, unlimited auto subtitles (50 hours a month fair use) and 500 AI credits a month.

ZapCap. Starter is $10 a month, or $8 a month billed yearly, for 15 captioned videos a month of up to 2 minutes each, with no watermark.
