CapCut Pricing in 2026: Free, Pro and an AI Clip Alternative
CapCut pricing from CapCut's own page: Free, Pro, Ultra and Teams by region, AI credits, and what AI clips cost per clip in Omnely credits.
Current capcut pricing splits into a Free plan at USD 0, a Pro plan, an Ultra plan and a Teams plan, with the exact dollar amount depending on the region shown at checkout. On the US reading of CapCut's pricing page on 21 Oct 2026, Pro was listed at USD 19.99 per month, while a reading of the same page from Morocco showed Pro at USD 11 per month or USD 71.99 per year.

How capcut pricing works: AI credits, regions and plans
CapCut is a timeline video editor. Its Free plan covers free templates and basic editing tools. Paid plans add premium templates, more cloud storage and a monthly bucket of AI credits that pays for generative features inside the app, such as AI clip generation with Seedance 2.0 Mini.
The capcut price shown on the pricing page is not the same for every visitor. CapCut writes directly on the page that "Displayed pricing is for reference only. Sign in to see final pricing, taxes, and any applicable offers for your account." That is why a US visitor sees Pro at USD 19.99 per month while a visitor from Morocco sees the same Pro plan at USD 11 per month or USD 71.99 per year. Ultra is listed at USD 79 per month in both readings, and the Morocco reading adds an annual Ultra at USD 900 per year.
Here is the key detail many comparison articles skip: AI credits inside CapCut are a monthly allowance for AI features such as generation. Pro ships with 1200 AI credits a month; Ultra ships with 8645. CapCut maps those credits to seconds of Seedance 2.0 Mini output: up to 240 seconds at 720p on Pro, up to 1,700 seconds at 720p on Ultra.
Is Pro or Ultra worth it for editing vs generation?
The answer depends on which half of the workflow matters more.
For editing with basic tools and free templates, the Free plan is the starting point. Pro adds all premium templates, all premium Pro features, 1 TB of storage and the AI credit bucket. If AI generation is a nice-to-have rather than a daily task, the AI credits are the part of Pro most likely to go unused.
For regular AI clip generation inside CapCut, the math changes. Pro's 1200 monthly AI credits translate to a few minutes of 720p output per month with Seedance 2.0 Mini. A creator producing social ads or weekly B-roll will likely exhaust that bucket early. Ultra's 8645 monthly AI credits are sized for anyone generating clips daily.
Teams is a different animal: it is priced per seat, and each seat gets 1200 AI credits. It is built for shared editing with a brand kit, not for heavy generation.
If editing is the main job, Free or Pro is usually enough. If generating AI clips is the main job, Ultra or a dedicated generator makes more sense than stretching Pro.
Generating clips instead: using Omnely for AI video
Omnely is not a timeline editor. It has no multitrack, no captions panel, no transitions and no templates. It generates short clips from a text prompt or a still image, and then those clips get edited in CapCut (or any other editor) afterwards.
That split matters for capcut pricing comparisons. A monthly AI credit bucket inside CapCut only works with the models CapCut has wired in. Omnely gives direct access to several video models with per-second pricing visible at checkout, so the exact cost of a clip is clear before pressing generate. New users get free credits when they sign up; video models require a paid Omnely plan.
Here are four of the live video models and what a clip costs in Omnely credits:
| Model | Length | Credits per second | Example clip and credits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kling 3.0 | 3 to 15 seconds | 12/s standard silent, 18/s with sound, 17/s pro silent, 24/s pro with sound | 5s standard silent = 60; 10s standard silent = 120 |
| Grok Imagine Video 1.5 | 1 to 15 seconds | 6/s at 480p or 720p, 20/s at 1080p | 5s 720p = 30; 8s 1080p = 160 |
| Wan 3.0 | 2 to 30 seconds | 8/s at 480p, 16/s at 720p, 32/s at 1080p | 3s 480p = 24; 5s 720p = 80 |
| Seedance 2.5 | 4 to 30 seconds | ≈19.2/s at 480p, 43.2/s at 720p, 96.2/s at 1080p | 5s 480p = 97; 5s 720p = 216; 5s 1080p = 482 |
This 3 second 480p street B-roll, animated from a still of a red bicycle on a Lisbon street, was made with Wan 3.0 for 24 credits.
The animated cartoon above runs 10 seconds and was generated with Kling 3.0 in standard mode for 120 credits.
Those three real generations show the practical range. A quick product teaser or a short street B-roll lands under 50 credits each. An animated still at 10 seconds without sound reaches 120 credits. Clips longer than ten seconds, or 1080p output on premium models, climb faster — Seedance 2.5 at 1080p for five seconds is 482 credits, so resolution and model choice matter more than length alone.
When to keep CapCut and when to add an AI clip generator
The honest workflow for most creators in 2026 looks like this:
- Keep CapCut (or any timeline editor) for editing. Trims, captions, music, templates, aspect ratio changes and final export belong in a dedicated editor. CapCut Free covers basic editing tools; Pro adds premium templates and cloud storage.
- Add an AI clip generator for raw footage. If the project needs AI-generated B-roll, product teasers, animated stills or short social hooks, a dedicated generator usually gives more control over model and resolution than the generation seat inside an editor.
The combination that often works: CapCut Free or Pro for editing, Omnely for generating the raw clips, then dragging the Omnely MP4s onto the CapCut timeline. See CapCut alternative for a longer look at that split.
For heavy generation users, Ultra's 8645 monthly AI credits inside CapCut is a serious offer, but it locks the model choice to what CapCut has wired in. A separate generator keeps the choice of model open — Kling for cinematic motion, Grok Imagine for fast social clips, Wan 3.0 for short B-roll, Seedance 2.5 for higher-fidelity shots.
