CapCut Pro is a paid tier of the CapCut video editor that removes watermarks, unlocks premium effects, and gives you cloud storage
CapCut Pro costs $4.99 per month or $47.99 per year when you pay through the CapCut app on iOS or Android. The price is the same whether you subscribe monthly or annually — you save money by committing to a year upfront. If you subscribe through the web version at capcut.com, the pricing may differ depending on your region and payment method.
The main difference between the free version and Pro is that Pro removes the CapCut watermark from exported videos. The free version stamps "Made with CapCut" on every video you read. Pro also gives you access to a larger library of music, sound effects, fonts, and video effects that are locked behind the paywall in the free tier. You get 100 GB of cloud storage to save projects, compared to a smaller amount in the free version.
CapCut Pro does not give you access to features that the free version lacks entirely — it unlocks premium content within the same editor. If you use CapCut's free tier, you already have access to basic cuts, transitions, color correction, and text overlays. Pro adds more options in each category, not new categories.
Key Takeaways
- CapCut Pro costs $4.99 per month or $47.99 per year through the mobile app, with regional pricing variations on the web version.
- The subscription removes the CapCut watermark from videos and unlocks premium effects, music, fonts, and sound effects not available in the free tier.
- You receive 100 GB of cloud storage to save and back up your video projects across devices.
- The free version of CapCut includes basic editing tools; Pro expands the library of content and removes restrictions, but does not add entirely new editing capabilities.
What features come with the Pro subscription
The watermark removal is the most visible benefit. Every video exported from the free version displays "Made with CapCut" at the bottom. Pro removes this entirely, so your final video has no CapCut branding. This matters if you are posting to social media, YouTube, or anywhere else where a watermark affects how your content looks.
The effects library expands significantly. CapCut Pro includes hundreds of additional video effects, transitions, filters, and stickers that are locked in the free version. The free tier has a working set of these tools, but Pro opens access to trending effects and niche categories. The music and sound effects library also grows — Pro gives you more royalty-free tracks and sound packs to choose from.
Text and font options increase. Pro unlocks additional fonts beyond the standard set in the free version, which matters if you want specific typography for branding or style. You also get access to premium fonts that CapCut licenses from third parties.
Cloud storage jumps to 100 GB. This lets you save multiple projects in the cloud and access them from any device where you sign into your CapCut account. The free version includes cloud storage, but the amount is much smaller — typically 5 GB or less depending on your account age and activity.
How to subscribe and manage your CapCut Pro membership
On iOS, open the CapCut app, tap the profile icon in the bottom right, and select "Subscribe" or "CapCut Pro". You will see the monthly and annual pricing options. Tap the option you want and complete the purchase through Apple's App Store. Your subscription renews automatically on the same date each month or year.
On Android, the process is similar: open CapCut, go to your profile, and tap "Subscribe". You will see the pricing tiers and can choose monthly or annual. Payment goes through Google Play, and your subscription renews automatically.
To cancel your subscription on iOS, go to Settings on your iPhone, tap your Apple ID at the top, select "Subscriptions", find CapCut, and tap "Cancel Subscription". On Android, open Google Play, go to "Manage subscriptions", find CapCut Pro, and tap "Cancel subscription". Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle — you keep access to Pro features until that date.
If you subscribe through capcut.com on a web browser, the cancellation process depends on your payment method and region. Log into your CapCut account, go to account settings, find the subscription section, and look for a cancel or manage option. Some regions route cancellations through the payment processor rather than CapCut directly.
CapCut Pro compared to the free version
| Feature | Free Version | CapCut Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Watermark | "Made with CapCut" on all exports | No watermark |
| Video effects and transitions | Standard library (hundreds of options) | Expanded library (thousands of options) |
| Music and sound effects | Limited royalty-free library | Full royalty-free library |
| Fonts | Standard fonts only | Standard plus premium fonts |
| Cloud storage | 5 GB or less | 100 GB |
| Basic editing tools | Cuts, color correction, text, speed control | Same tools, no additional capabilities |
| Export resolution | Up to 1080p | Up to 4K (varies by device) |
The free version is fully functional for basic video editing. You can cut clips, add transitions, adjust colors, overlay text, and export in high definition. The main limitations are the watermark, the smaller library of effects and music, and less cloud storage. If you only edit occasionally and do not mind the watermark, the free version covers most use cases.
Pro is worth considering if you post videos regularly, want to remove branding, or need access to a wider range of effects and music. The 100 GB of cloud storage also matters if you work on multiple projects and want to sync them across devices. The $4.99 monthly cost is low enough that many creators find it worth the investment for the watermark removal alone.
Regional pricing and payment methods
The $4.99 monthly and $47.99 annual prices explore in the United States through the mobile app. Pricing in other countries varies based on local currency, taxes, and regional pricing strategies. If you live outside the US, check the CapCut app in your region to see the exact price in your currency.
Payment methods depend on where you subscribe. Through the iOS app, you pay with whatever payment method is linked to your Apple ID — credit card, debit card, or Apple balance. Through Android, you use Google Play payment methods. On the web, CapCut may accept credit cards, PayPal, or other methods depending on your location.
Some regions have different subscription tiers or pricing structures. For example, CapCut occasionally offers promotional pricing for new subscribers or bundles with other services. Check the app directly to see what options are available in your area.
Whether CapCut Pro is worth the cost
The decision depends on how often you edit video and whether the watermark matters to you. If you edit videos once a month for personal use and do not mind the "Made with CapCut" stamp, the free version is sufficient. If you post videos to social media, YouTube, or a professional platform regularly, the watermark removal alone may justify the subscription.
The expanded effects and music library add value if you want more creative options or need specific sounds and effects that are locked in the free tier. The 100 GB of cloud storage is useful if you work on multiple projects and switch between devices — it keeps all your work synced and backed up.
At $4.99 per month, the cost is low compared to other video editing software. Desktop editors like Adobe Premiere Pro cost $22.49 per month or more. CapCut Pro is one of the cheapest paid tiers for a functional video editor. The annual plan at $47.99 works out to about $4 per month, making it even cheaper if you commit upfront.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use CapCut Pro on both my phone and computer?
CapCut Pro works on iOS and Android phones and tablets through the mobile app. The web version at capcut.com also has a Pro tier, but it is a separate subscription in some regions. If you subscribe on your phone, you may need to subscribe separately on the web version to unlock Pro features there — check your account settings to see if your subscription carries over.
What happens to my videos if I cancel CapCut Pro?
Your existing videos keep their current state — if you exported them without a watermark while you had Pro, they stay watermark-free. New videos you create after cancellation will have the watermark again when you export them. Your cloud storage reverts to the free tier limit, so very old projects may become inaccessible if you exceed the free storage amount.
Is there a free trial for CapCut Pro?
CapCut occasionally offers free trial periods for new subscribers, but this varies by region and changes over time. Open the CapCut app and check the subscription screen to see if a trial is currently available in your area. If one is offered, you can usually cancel before the trial ends to avoid being charged.
Can I get a refund if I change my mind about the subscription?
Refund policies depend on your payment method and region. If you subscribed through Apple, you can request a refund through the App Store for up to 14 days after purchase. Google Play offers similar refund windows for Android. Contact Apple or Google directly with your order details if you want to pursue a refund.
Does CapCut Pro work offline?
Yes, you can edit videos in CapCut Pro without an internet connection. However, some features like downloading music from the library or syncing cloud projects require internet access. The basic editing tools work offline, and you can export videos without being connected.
