CapCut Moved Its Best Features Behind a Paywall
Many users express frustration over CapCut's shift towards a subscription-based model, with previously free features now requiring payment. This limits creative possibilities and feels exploitative, diminishing the app’s value proposition for many casual or budget-conscious creators.

“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.0.0) — Пользовалась приложением несколько лет, пока все базовые функции, как качество 1080, извлечение звука из видео и тд, все это стало платным. Вы скатились. Подписка дорогая.”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v9.2.0) — The paywall is awful. I did a basic video and picture collage to try it out and apparently clicked on a "pro" feature that now I can't undo, so I can't export the project, and I can't undo the pro edit of the main video or even delete that video without deleting everything and starting over, or it wants me to pay for pro for this very basic video. I'm not paying $19.99 for something I can literally make for free in iMovie or on PowerPoint. I won't pay more for features”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.0.0) — I got hit with paywall limiting video export at 1080p per month, the most basic feature for any content creator. The app has entered its final enahittification phase making it unusable for unless you’ll willing to shell out big bucks.”

“[CapCut] ★★ 2/5 (v19.0.0) — hard to recommend this app when literally everything is being locked behind a subscription”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.0.0) — Пользуюсь платной версией, постоянно терятся ии генератор и ии мир в главной панели, невозможно работать. В чём дело?”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.0.0) — Водяной знак? Ладно, терпимо 4к за подписку? Ладно, терпимо Редактор заднего фона за подписку? Пора остановиться! ИЗВЛЕЧЕНИЕ ЗВУКА ЗА ПОДПИСКУ? Проще говоря - отныне капкут это донатная помойка Да, функционал для мобильного редактора отличный, но когда это превращается в сплошной донат то уже не очень как то и хочется использовать да и вообще думать об этом приложении”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.0.0) — зачем вы сделали платными буквально базовые функции в приложении??раньше всегда пользовалась извлечением звука бесплатно,теперь нужно заплатить. по-моему это издевательство”
“[CapCut] ★★ 2/5 (v18.9.0) — Приложение нормальное но всё за подписку я даже фон не могу одалить без подписки убираете это пожалуйста”

“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v18.9.0) — I can’t make a good video without having to buy stupid stuff for 30$ like what.”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v18.9.0) — There’s no explanation why it won’t allow me to download videos I create myself, created using a template or AI generated videos. It also doesn’t give me access to the credits that I’m supposed to have. Total waste of money.”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v18.9.0) — It loves to say something is free. Then you spend 20 min working on it and it’s oops sorry that’s not actually free it’s a paid feature and that’s $12 a month. Just don’t be shady.”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v9.2.0) — Do not use this program it is not free you go through all the work of editing your video and then it won't let you export it or save it unless you buy the program!”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v18.9.0) — This is an editing app that does not let users actually edit I mean you can but if you don’t have pro you can’t use auto captions good texts and more they should make play time credits for how long you edit and you can purchase pro with it it’s like Duolingo they promote getting super too much it get repetitive and also someone just bring up that there’s not kid friendly templates on it and the report system is bad so yeah pls do better”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v18.9.0) — Сделав даже самые обычные функции-платными, вы тянете себя на дно. Раньше было лучше, а сейчас даже звук извлечь платно! Может люди хотят бесплатно редактировать ролики, а приложение из лучшего, превратилось в помойку!!”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v18.9.0) — I have been useing this app for years and for some reason they had to put a pro (VIP) on sharing projects. So now I cannot share anything on my channel. I strongly recommend not useing this app for editing to post on your channel because all u would do is waste your time. 😡”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v18.9.0) — I’ve been using CapCut forever now. Now all of a sudden you cannot export any videos without a watermark unless you want to pay $80 a year. Absolutely ridiculous. Time to use a different video editor app!”
“[CapCut] ★★★ 3/5 (v18.9.0) — Confused as to why everyone suddenly has to cost money. Other than that it's pretty good if the stuff that are free STAYS free. In my opinion.”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v18.9.0) — Достали,всё платным сделали.Даже самые простые функции теперь платные.Проще говоря без подписки тут теперь мало что можно сделать”
[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v18.9.0) — ruining everything not what it used to be
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v18.9.0) — Bro, I’m just a YouTuber I don’t want to pay but it’s telling me to get free storage by buying it and I’m broke and I need this money and it’s telling me to do this now this is not good one star”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v18.9.0) — Ok so I loved CapCut so much it’s what I use to create content but recently you know where u export and it gives u options in where you want to share it to, it’s not been showing up for me which means CapCut is basically useless now because it doesn’t work please fix this issue right away”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v18.8.0) — App used to be good but now you have to pay for everything and you can’t even extract the videos you make so there’s no point”
“[CapCut] ★★ 2/5 (v18.8.0) — It used to be cool, a lot of free features, or rather absolutely all of them are free, now, without a subscription, the application is useless, two star is unambiguous, although I used to put all five.”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v18.8.0) — I hate the fact that when you’re running low on storage and CapCut doesn’t let u make or edit a vid and when u get storage it still acts like u have no storage”
“[CapCut] ★★ 2/5 (v18.8.0) — The app itself is good, but when you try to edit YOUR CANT MAKE SOMETHING GOOD because EVERYTHING cost money.”
“[CapCut] ★★★ 3/5 (v18.8.0) — Раньше приложение было очень даже хорошим теперь уж им не возможно пользоваться буквально все платно добавить звук убрать фот было все бесплатно раньше не понятно зачем добавили этот про”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v18.8.0) — ts app before be in greatest video edit ever,but now all in this app PAID 1 star come on”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v18.8.0) — Almost nothing can be done without a subscription!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v18.8.0) — разрабы превратили офигенское приложение в донатную помойку. красавцы, слов нет 👏”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v18.8.0) — Максимально ухудшили приложение, к чему ваши подписки? Раньше было намного лучше когда можно было элементарно за бесплатно извлечь звук с других видео или сделать на всех видео одинаковую громкость. Отстой👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v18.8.0) — The app is so money hungry now it’s sad. Even importing audios is a pro feature and that is ridiculous. I miss when the app could be comfortably used.”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v18.8.0) — when an app creates paid subscriptions, it should expand the features that can be accessed for a fee. This is fine. BUT, DO NOT FORBID BASIC FEATURES AND MAKE US PAY FOR THEM. I was okay with the subscription and everything was fine until I saw that I could only export videos in 720p. Do you really want to forbid 4k for free? I will never use this app again. This is a clear disregard for consumers and a desire to make money.I understood and approved of all the paid fea”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v18.8.0) — It was fine until they made you have to pay for a subscription to use features that used to be free. They should have just left it how it was.”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v18.8.0) — Почему раньше можно было делать норм видео но после того после некоторых обновлений все стало платно нереально монтировать только 10 раз в месяц так нереально что-то нормально смонтировать”
“[CapCut] ★★ 2/5 (v18.8.0) — I like CapCut it’s not the best tho the problem is that literally everything is almost pro short review but yeah”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v18.8.0) — I've used CapCut for years, and throughout my time I've seen more and more features locked behind the premium paywall. Now, the final straw is with the extract audio feature, which is the sole reason I use the app.”
“[CapCut] ★★ 2/5 (v18.7.0) — it is very easy to use but WHY the hell did almost every effect have to be pro💔 like PLS make it free again”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v9.1.0) — I’ve been trying to do the whole “CapCut pro for free” thing with the invite links and it just doesn’t work. I’ve tried it with several with my friend who have NEVER used CapCut and when they put the code in it says they have used it and we can’t redeem it. And it is so hard to work around CapCut without it.”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v18.7.0) — most money hungry editing app ever!! You have to pay to add an extracted audio, you have to pay to export without a watermark and many others!!! 0/10 would never recommend!!”
“[CapCut] ★★★ 3/5 (v18.7.0) — So it’s a good editing app but there’s one thing, IT WONT LET ME EXPORT MORE THAN 2 TIMES. So I ether have to pay to export more content or switch over to another editing app. I do NOT want to pay “for more storage” because my phone storage is very far from full. So please make it so I can export more than 2 times. But it is a pretty good editing app tho.”
