CapCut Pro costs $19.99 a month or $179.99 a year in the US, according to CapCut's own Standard vs Pro article, and Apple's US App Store lists a Pro Monthly subscription at the same $19.99. CapCut also has a free plan, a higher Ultra plan and a per-seat Teams plan, and its pricing page shows each visitor prices in their local currency, so what you pay depends on where you are and where you buy.
Everything below was checked on 30 October 2026 on CapCut's pricing page, its help centre, its own article and Apple's US App Store listing. Where CapCut doesn't publish a number we could read (Ultra's US price, for example), we say so rather than copy a figure from another blog. For other editors' prices, see our video tool pricing and alternatives guides.

How much is CapCut Pro?
CapCut Pro is $19.99 a month or $179.99 a year in the US. Those are the figures in CapCut's own Standard vs Pro article (dated 23 September 2026), and Apple's US App Store lists a Pro Monthly Subscription at $19.99 too. The plans as we found them on 30 October 2026:
| Plan | US price | AI credits | Storage | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Not stated | Not stated | Free templates and basic editing tools |
| Standard (iPhone) | $9.99/month (App Store) | Not stated | Not stated | Sold in the app; not on the pricing page |
| Pro | $19.99/month or $179.99/year | 1,200 a month | 1 TB | All premium templates and Pro features, can buy extra credits |
| Ultra | Not published in USD where we could read it | 8,645 a month | 1 TB | Everything in Pro plus exclusive AI features |
| Teams | Per seat; CapCut's article says from around $24.99 a month | 1,200 a month per seat | 1 TB | From 2 seats, brand kit, Pro features for every seat |
Yearly Pro works out to about $15 a month, a saving of about $60 against twelve monthly payments ($239.88). The pricing page itself says displayed prices are for reference only and that you see your final price, taxes and offers after signing in.
Why is CapCut's price different for me?
Because CapCut prices by market. Its help centre says the price of Pro can vary with your region, your device and current promotions, and that taxes, exchange rates and local purchasing power all play a part. When we loaded the pricing page from outside the US, it showed every plan in local currency, with a lower Pro price than the US figure.
Where you subscribe matters too: CapCut's help centre says the price can depend on your device, and Apple's US App Store lists several CapCut subscriptions at different prices. CapCut also runs time-limited promotions on specific platforms, such as desktop sales on Pro and Ultra, so the checkout price can be lower than the list price. To see your own price, CapCut's help centre says to click Upgrade (web), the subscription button under your user ID (desktop), or Join CapCut Pro on the Me tab (mobile).
Is CapCut free?
Yes. CapCut's Free plan costs nothing and includes free templates and basic editing tools on desktop, web and mobile. CapCut's own article describes the free version as covering cutting, trimming, merging and splitting, a selection of free filters, transitions and effects, captions and basic audio editing, with limited access to premium templates, effects, fonts and music.
CapCut's pricing page doesn't list the free plan's export limits or say whether free exports are watermarked, so we can't state either. Try an export of the kind you need before you rely on the free plan for client or ad work.
What does CapCut Pro unlock?
On the pricing page, Pro adds 1,200 AI credits a month, the option to buy more credits, access to AI features, all premium templates, all premium Pro features and 1 TB of storage. CapCut's article lists the AI tools behind that: motion tracking, noise reduction, background removal, AI video, AI music and AI image generation, plus premium transitions, filters, fonts and stickers.
The pricing page advertises the credits alongside AI generation, such as Seedance video generation priced per second of video, but doesn't say which editing tools draw on them. If you mainly cut, caption and export, judge Pro on the templates and premium effects you'd use rather than the credit count.
What's the difference between CapCut Standard and Pro?
The name Standard is used two ways. CapCut's own article uses Standard to mean the free version. Apple's US App Store, though, lists a paid Standard Monthly Subscription at $9.99 next to Pro Monthly at $19.99, and two more unlabeled subscriptions (Monthly at $7.99 and Yearly at $89.99). CapCut's pricing page doesn't list a paid Standard plan or say what it includes, so check the paywall in the app before choosing it over Pro.

Where QuickVeed fits
QuickVeed is not a timeline editor: there are no tracks, transitions or keyframes, and no template library. It does the AI jobs around an edit (captions, clips, dubbing, voice and avatars) and leaves the cut itself to an editor. If the reason you'd pay for CapCut Pro is captions, clips or a dubbed version for a business video, QuickVeed charges per job instead of per seat: auto subtitles cost 1.5 credits per minute to transcribe (15 credits for a 10-minute video), Podcast to Clips costs 1.5 credits per transcript minute plus 3 per clip for videos up to 3 hours, and AI dubbing covers 32 languages with stock voices. Cloned-voice dubbing runs on a third-party GPU model, so try it on a short clip before you plan a whole project around it; the stock-voice route doesn't depend on it.
QuickVeed's free browser tools cover the quick single jobs people often open a full editor for: trim, crop, resize, compress, merge, add text and change speed, plus a screen recorder. They run in your browser with no sign-up and no watermark. QuickVeed plans are $18 a month for 1,000 credits (Starter), $42 for 2,500 (Boost) and $114 for 6,000 (Scale); yearly billing is 10 times the monthly price, and a new account gets a 14-day trial with 250 credits, no card needed.
