CapCut Coupons & Promo Codes

CapCut is ByteDance’s video editor, the same company behind TikTok, and that lineage shows in how well it’s built for short-form vertical video specifically. It’s free to start, genuinely useful at the free tier, and the paid tiers exist for a real reason: 2025’s pricing restructure split what used to be one “Pro” plan into two, and knowing which one you actually need saves you from overpaying.

Free vs. Standard vs. Pro, honestly

Free gets you a real editing toolkit: cutting, splitting, a multi-track timeline, keyframe animation, chroma key, speed ramping, filters, basic AI voiceover, and 1080p export. Most casual creators genuinely don’t need to pay. The catch is that Pro-marked templates and effects export with a watermark.

Standard ($9.99/month, aimed mostly at mobile users) removes the watermark and unlocks more templates, transitions, and text styles, but doesn’t include 4K export or the full AI toolkit.

Pro ($19.99/month or $179.99/year) is where the real AI features live: camera tracking, vocal isolation, speaker-identification captions, AI voice effects, plus 4K export, 100GB+ cloud storage for syncing projects across devices, and the full 12-million-asset library.

One thing worth knowing before you subscribe: CapCut doesn’t publish one fixed global price. Buying direct through capcut.com is typically 20-30% cheaper than subscribing through the Apple App Store or Google Play, since app-store cuts get passed to you.
