What a second of AI video costs, channel by channel

What CapCut publishes about price

CapCut (capcut.com) does not print a price on the page that answers what it costs. The help centre states that pricing varies by region, device and promotion, and directs the reader to the subscription screen inside the application. As of 2026-09-12.

Where the search for a CapCut price endsA four-stage chain. The pricing page does not print a figure, the help centre states that pricing varies by region, device and promotion, and the reader is directed to the subscription screen inside the application. The last stage is behind a sign-in, which is outside what a public register can record.Pricing pageNo figure printed onthe pageRead the helpcentreHelp centreVaries by region,device, promotionOpen the appSubscription screenBehind a sign-in, andpersonal to theaccountWhy the row stays emptyA figure only one signed-in reader can see is not something anyone else can check.
Fig. 1 Each stage here hands the reader on to the next. The chain ends somewhere a register cannot follow, which is why the row stays empty rather than estimated.

Inclusion rule. Items a per-second rate would need, plus what the vendor publishes instead. Items no vendor in this field publishes are not listed. Order. Published items first, then the missing ones.

1A price behind a sign-in is outside what this register can hold

A figure earns a row here by carrying its origin: which vendor page held it, on what day. That is what makes a reader able to go and disagree with it. A number visible only inside an application, and different by region and device, cannot carry either.

This is not a claim that the price is high or low. It is a statement about what can be verified from outside, which is the only thing this register claims to track.

2Region-varying prices are common and rarely stated so plainly

Several products in this field price differently by market without saying so. Stating it openly is more useful than a single figure that turns out to hold in one country, even though it means no row here.

For a production budgeting across markets, that sentence is itself the finding: the cost of this channel is a local question, and a figure quoted by someone in another country does not transfer.

3What would put this on the ledger

A public page stating a price for at least one named region, with the unit it buys. A single readable figure with its condition attached would be enough.

4Inside a generated second

Price aside, what goes into the seconds behind “CapCut” is described in SceneMixer's guides:

The Seedance 2.0 tiers render segments up to 15 seconds; use a Seedance 2.5 or Wan tier for 30-second takes.

The shots add up to more than the selected video tier allows for one segment.
