CapCut Pro Price: What Each Plan Costs and What You Get
Quick answer: CapCut has no single global price. CapCut's own plan guide lists Pro at $19.99 a month or $179.99 a year in US dollars, and its help centre says the amount changes by region, device and promotion. The price that counts is the one shown after you sign in and press Upgrade.
How this page earns: this site is an independent affiliate of CapCut, and we earn a commission if you buy CapCut Pro through our CapCut link, at no extra cost to you (disclosure). The figures below come from CapCut's pricing page, plan guide and help centre, all linked at the end. We did not buy a plan to test the checkout.
How much does CapCut Pro cost?
CapCut's plan guide gives two US dollar figures for Pro: $19.99 a month, or $179.99 a year. The same guide warns that prices vary by region, platform, taxes and promotions. The help centre goes further and says there is no fixed global price at all.
So treat $19.99 as a reference point, not a quote. Paying yearly at the listed figures works out to about $15 a month, which is the usual trade: a lower monthly cost for a twelve-month commitment.
To see the amount your account will be charged, CapCut gives three routes:
- Web: open CapCut Online, sign in, and press Upgrade in the top right corner.
- Desktop: open the app, sign in, and press the subscription button under your user ID.
- Phone: open the app, go to Me, and tap Join CapCut Pro next to your nickname.
The pricing page itself carries a note that displayed pricing is for reference only and that you must sign in to see final pricing, taxes and offers. When we fetched it, it showed another country's currency, which is why this guide quotes CapCut's written figures and not a screenshot of a checkout.
What plans does CapCut sell?
CapCut's pricing page lists four plans: Free, Pro, Ultra and Teams. The help centre describes a fifth, Standard, sold in certain regions for the phone app. The table shows what CapCut itself lists for each.
| Plan | Built for | What CapCut lists |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Starting out | Basic editing tools and free templates, at no cost |
| Standard | Phone-only editors | Paid benefits in the phone app only, around 100 GB of cloud space, sold in certain regions |
| Pro | Regular creators | All premium templates and Pro features, 1,200 monthly AI credits, 1 TB of storage, works on phone, desktop and web |
| Ultra | Heavy AI video use | Everything in Pro plus exclusive AI features and a much larger monthly credit allowance |
| Teams | Several people | Priced per seat, Pro features for every seat, a brand kit |
One naming trap: CapCut's plan guide sometimes uses the word Standard for the free version, while the help centre uses it for the paid phone plan. If a page promises cloud storage with Standard, it means the paid plan.
Why is the price different on my phone and my computer?
CapCut says the gap is intentional. Its help page on device pricing explains that Pro on desktop can cost more than Pro bought in the phone app, because the desktop version is built for longer sessions, higher-resolution projects and heavier workflows.
CapCut also says you can choose where to subscribe. That matters, because a Pro subscription works across the phone app, the desktop app and the web editor as long as you sign in with the same account. The exception is Standard: its benefits stay in the phone app, and using paid features on a computer requires Pro.
What changed when CapCut restructured its plans?
CapCut's note on the pricing change describes a new membership structure. Two numbers moved on Pro: monthly AI credits went from 550 to 1,200, and cloud storage went from 100 GB to 1 TB. The old price is no longer offered to new subscribers, and the Standard plan was added as what CapCut calls a more accessible option.
This is also why older CapCut help pages still mention 100 GB for Pro. The pricing page and the newer notes say 1 TB.
Do AI credits cost extra?
Sometimes. Credits are CapCut's currency for AI features, and CapCut values each credit at $0.01. Pro includes 1,200 a month. If you run out, you can buy more on the web or in the desktop app; the phone app has no credit store.
CapCut spends credits in a fixed order: subscription credits first, then credits earned in promotions, then credits you bought. On the web and in the desktop app, CapCut shows how many credits an action needs before you confirm it. Credits pay for AI work only; they cannot be used to buy Pro.
Which plan fits a musician or a small business?
Start on Free. It covers cutting, text and export, which is enough to learn the editor and finish a first clip. Our guide to what the free plan includes shows where it stops.
Move to Pro when one of three things is true: you edit on a computer, you keep hitting Pro-marked templates and effects at export, or you need the storage. A band cutting a video a week, or a shop posting several clips a week, usually lands here. You can check the current Pro price for your country before deciding.
Look at Teams only when three or more people edit together. A new shared space is free for two people; past that, CapCut asks for Teams. Before paying for anything, read how the free trial and cancelling work.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a yearly CapCut Pro plan?
Yes. CapCut sells Pro monthly and yearly. Its own plan guide lists $19.99 a month and $179.99 a year in US dollars, and says prices vary by region, platform, taxes and promotions. The yearly figure works out lower per month. Sign in and press Upgrade to see the amount for your account.
Does one CapCut Pro subscription work on phone and computer?
Yes. CapCut's help centre says Pro members get full benefits in the phone app, the desktop app and the web editor, provided they sign in with the same account everywhere. The Standard plan is different: its benefits apply in the phone app only, and paid features on a computer need Pro.
Why does CapCut Pro cost more on desktop than on my phone?
CapCut says the difference is intentional. Its help page explains that the desktop version is built for longer sessions and higher-resolution projects and carries different membership benefits and maintenance costs. You can choose where to subscribe, so compare the price shown in the phone app with the price shown on the web before paying.
Is CapCut Standard the same as the free plan?
Not in the help centre. There, Standard is a paid plan for the phone app, sold in certain regions, with around 100 GB of cloud space. One CapCut guide uses the word Standard loosely for the free version, which causes confusion. The Free plan costs nothing and covers basic editing tools and free templates.
Can I buy CapCut Pro with credits?
No. Credits pay for AI features only, and CapCut values each credit at $0.01. Pro includes 1,200 credits a month, and extra credits can be bought on the web or in the desktop app. A subscription and a credit balance are separate things, so buying credits does not make an account Pro.
