Which plan to pickStay 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.Premium billed yearly is the sweet spot for practising: unlimited songs for about $3 a month. Only go Pro if you produce or remix and need Hi-Fi stems, separate drum parts or the plugin. App store prices can differ from the website.Premium is the plan for reading, and yearly is far cheaper than monthly. Set a reminder before the trial ends, and check whether the trial is set to bill monthly or yearly. Studio is a separate subscription; only buy it if you make voiceovers.
