| Which plan to pick | Stay on Free until a template or effect you need turns out to be Pro-only. When that happens, take Pro on the yearly plan. Ultra's extra AI credits only matter if you generate a lot of AI video or images inside CapCut. | Use the free credits first, then pay for Plus month to month until you know how many credits a video really takes you. Only switch to yearly once your usage is steady, because refunds are refused after you've used any credits. | Start on the free plan. If you regularly hit the three-files or 30-minute limit, Unlimited billed yearly works out at $10 a month. Test a typical recording first, because purchases aren't refundable. |
