Free plan, US$0: 0 credits per month (official wording: 0 credits / month · packs only); you need to buy credit packs to generate. All models, up to 2 videos and 2 images or audio in parallel. No commercial license, priority queue, or early access to new models. The plan card says no watermark, but the page's embedded plan data flags a watermark, so the official page is inconsistent. Credit pack example: 3,000 credits for US$50 (about 24 clips per the official page); packs only work in Pika Create on pika.art, not the API, MCP, or iOS app. (Read twice on pika.art/pricing on 2026-09-26 and 2026-09-27; both reads matched.)
The official help center (help/capcut-standard-vs-pro) confirms the new lineup has two tiers, Standard and Pro, but CapCut does not publish the Standard price; US$9.99/month comes from third-party roundups (costbench.com, socialrails.com; it is the old Pro tier renamed). Actual prices vary by region and platform, so check the checkout page. Checked 2026-09-25.
