CapCut Pro Price in 2026: What It Costs After the Increase
CapCut Pro costs $19.99 per month or $179.99 per year on US web checkout. The cheaper Standard plan is $9.99 a month. Both of those numbers are new: in 2026 CapCut roughly doubled the price of Pro and rebuilt its tiers, so the plan you had last year is probably not the plan you are on now.
Here is what each tier costs, what the restructure actually changed, why the app store charges you more than the website, and the realistic ways to bring the bill down.
CapCut price at a glance
| Plan | Monthly | Yearly | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | Casual edits, watermark on some assets |
| Standard | $9.99 | — | Watermark removal, mostly mobile editing |
| Pro | $19.99 | $179.99 | 4K export, full AI toolkit, ~1TB cloud |
The jump from Standard to Pro is the one that matters. Standard gets the watermark off your exports, but 4K export, the full AI tool set and the large cloud allowance all sit behind Pro.
Prices are CapCut's US web-checkout rates in USD. Regional pricing and promotional rates vary, so the figure at your checkout can differ.
What changed in the 2026 price increase
| Before | After | |
|---|---|---|
| Pro monthly | $9.99 | $19.99 |
| Pro yearly | $77.99 | $179.99 |
| Tier structure | Free + Pro | Free + Standard + Pro |
CapCut did two things at once. It doubled the monthly price of Pro, and it took the old $9.99 Pro tier and renamed it Standard, then built a new and more expensive Pro on top with the AI features and 4K export.
So if you are comparing against a price you remember, you are probably remembering the old Pro — which is today's Standard. The yearly plan took the harder hit: $77.99 to $179.99 is more than double.
Monthly vs yearly: the maths
| Billing option | What you pay | Effective monthly | Cost over 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | $19.99 / month | $19.99 | $239.88 |
| Yearly | $179.99 / year | $15.00 | $179.99 |
Paying yearly saves $59.89, about 25 percent. Given how fast CapCut moved its own prices this year, though, a twelve-month commitment is a bigger bet than it used to be — worth weighing if you are not editing every week.
Watch out for app store pricing
CapCut's in-app prices on iOS and Android are usually a few dollars higher than the same plan bought through the website, because the app stores take a commission and CapCut passes it on.
If you are subscribing for the first time, check the web checkout price before you tap subscribe inside the app. It is the same subscription on the same account — you are just paying a different middleman.
This also matters when you cancel or switch tiers: a subscription started in an app store has to be managed there, not in CapCut's own billing settings.
Frequently asked questions

Is CapCut Pro cheaper on the website than in the app?
Usually yes. App store prices tend to run a few dollars higher than web checkout because Apple and Google take a commission. Subscriptions started in an app store also have to be cancelled or changed there.
Can I still use CapCut for free?
Yes. The free tier still handles everyday editing, but some assets carry a watermark and the AI tools, 4K export and large cloud storage are limited to the paid tiers.
