How it works
The AI features are the draw: automatic captions in many languages, background removal, AI-generated effects and stickers, text-to-speech voices, and auto-reframing for different aspect ratios. The template library lets you drop in clips and get a finished, on-trend video in minutes. For small businesses and creators who publish daily, that speed is the whole point.
The free plan is generous, but premium effects, higher cloud storage, and the newest AI features need Pro, at $15 per month on annual billing or $19.99 month to month. Note that CapCut is owned by ByteDance, so users in some regions should check local availability and data rules. For social video editing, it remains one of the best free-to-start options.
