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

Netflix

  • The entry plan caps video at 720p and allows one simultaneous stream and one download device
  • 1080p and two simultaneous streams require the Standard plan
  • 4K Ultra HD, HDR and spatial audio are restricted to the Premium plan, which allows 4 streams and 6 download devices
  • Netflix states an account is for people who live together in a single household, so viewers outside the home need a paid extra member slot
  • Plan prices and availability differ by country and change when Netflix is bought through a partner package or add-on
