CapCut AI

CapCut is a free-to-use video editing app with a growing suite of AI-powered features including auto-captions, background removal, text-to-video, AI avatars, and smart editing suggestions. It works on mobile, desktop, and browser, and is designed to let people with little editing experience produce polished short-form video content quickly. The AI tools handle tasks like cutting silence, generating subtitles, upscaling footage, and creating talking-head videos from a script.

Models and pricing

Free Tier$0/month

Casual editors and beginners who need basic cuts, filters, auto-captions, and limited AI features without spending money

Includes core editing tools and a limited number of AI feature uses per month; watermark may appear on some exports depending on platform and feature used. Good starting point to test the app before committing.

CapCut Pro (Monthly)$9.99/month

Regular creators who need unlimited access to AI features like text-to-video, AI avatars, background removal, auto-captions, and higher export quality

Removes most usage caps on AI tools, adds more templates and effects, and unlocks higher-resolution exports. Worth it if you are producing video content multiple times per week.

CapCut Pro (Annual)$74.99/year (roughly $6.25/month)

Same as monthly Pro but for users who are confident they will use it consistently throughout the year

Straightforward saving over monthly billing. Pick this if you have used the free tier and are happy with the tool.

CapCut for Teams / BusinessPricing not publicly listed at time of writing; requires contacting sales or checking the CapCut Business portal directly

Small teams or businesses that need shared asset libraries, brand kits, and collaborative editing workflows

Aimed at agencies and marketing teams rather than solo creators. If you just need Pro features for one person, the standard Pro plan is sufficient.

AI Credits (Add-on)Approximately $0.99–$4.99 per credit pack; exact per-generation cost varies by feature and is not always clearly published

Users on any tier who need extra uses of compute-heavy AI features such as text-to-video generation or AI avatar creation beyond what their plan includes

CapCut does not always make credit pricing transparent upfront. Check the in-app store for current rates before assuming a feature is covered by your subscription.

Which model should you use?

Start with the free tier to see if the AI tools fit your workflow, then upgrade to annual Pro if you are making social content regularly — it pays for itself quickly compared to hiring an editor for even one video per month.
