The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 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; MUBI curated, rotating catalogue - films leave the service on a schedule rather than staying permanently available

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

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

MUBI

  • Curated, rotating catalogue - films leave the service on a schedule rather than staying permanently available
  • No live TV or broad back-catalogue - deliberately small, curated library rather than a comprehensive on-demand one
  • MUBI GO (free theater ticket plus streaming) is limited to select cities
