How each score was set

Usability 5.0 /10

From published features and owner comments · not a lab test.

Price transparency3.0/10
Monthly and yearly Pro prices are public, but the final price shows after sign-in and no renewal price is stated.
Usage rights4.0/10
Commercial use and ads are allowed for materials marked commercial; YouTube monetization, after-cancel use and client work are not addressed in the terms.
Free plan, trial and refund7.0/10
The free plan works with limits, a 7-day Pro trial needs no card, and the terms add a 14-day refund only if Premium was never used.
Published feature coverage7.0/10
Pro lists AI credits, templates and cloud storage across web, desktop and phone apps; export resolution and a brand kit were not confirmed on the page.
Support accessNot scored
Not published (Nov 2026): no support channel or response target was found in the terms or pricing page.

The claim

Commercial use of CapCut content

What we found

The claim

Cancel any time

What we found

Fine print

Access runs to period end, then cloud storage is suspended; Trustpilot reviewers report renewals continuing after cancelling, which the terms do not confirm.
