Where each one falls short

CapCut

  • Homepage names a free tier but publishes no price for Pro plans, requiring users to click through to a separate page to find a figure
  • AI image and video generation from text prompts are offered as a distinct paid capability layered on top of the base editor rather than described as free

Filmora

  • Basic annual subscription is $49.99/year and includes only 1GB of cloud storage and 500 AI conversations a month; Advanced raises it to $59.99/year for 10GB and 1,000 AI credits
  • Perpetual license requires a separate purchase for Windows versus Mac and only includes updates within that major version, not future major upgrades
