CapCut Pricing (2026): Every Plan and What It Really Costs

CapCut pricing starts at Pro $19.99/mo ($179.99/year, about $15/mo). Every figure on this page was checked against CapCut’s own pricing page on 2026-10-09, and the date is on the page so you can judge how stale it is. Below: what each plan costs, what the step up actually buys, and what the headline price leaves out.

There is a free plan: generous, no watermark. Read the allowance rather than the label — what runs out first is usually what forces the upgrade.

CapCut pricing at a glance

Figures marked * in the per-year column are the monthly rate multiplied by twelve, because the vendor states no annual price for that plan. Unmarked figures are the annual price the vendor publishes, which is usually lower than twelve monthly payments.

What each upgrade actually costs

• Pro to Ultra adds $720.01 a year ($60.00 a month) per unit. Everything in Pro plus exclusive AI features and 8,645 monthly AI credits

What the headline price leaves out

• Recorded caveat. Standard $9.99 withdrawn; Pro is the entry plan, Ultra $79/mo above it, Teams $12.49/seat with a two-seat minimum.
• From our review. Owned by ByteDance (data/privacy considerations), and the best AI features and 4K need paid tiers.
• Renewal. An annual discount is granted for one year; ask what year two costs and whether it is capped.

Recent pricing changes

Verified 9 October 2026: the Standard tier at $9.99 has been withdrawn, so the entry paid plan is now Pro at $19.99 a month or $179.99 a year. A new Ultra tier sits above it at $79 a month ($900 a year), and Teams is $12.49 a seat a month with a two-seat minimum.

How current are these prices?

Each figure carries the date it was checked — this page was verified on 2026-10-09 — and we publish no price we cannot source to the vendor’s own page. Pricing changes often, so confirm before you buy.

How we check pricing

Every figure is read from CapCut’s own pricing page and stamped with the date it was checked — 2026-10-09 for this page. We record what kind of figure each price is (a true monthly rate, an annual rate shown monthly, a usage rate or a quote-only placeholder), because a number without its basis is not comparable. Where a vendor publishes nothing we record nothing rather than repeating an estimate. The full dataset of 302 tools is public at /pricing-data.json under CC BY 4.0.
