CapCut Pro Price in India: Why No Indian Store Sells It
There is no CapCut Pro price in India: its India App Store and Google Play pages returned not found on 4 Nov 2026. See the US price and rupee-billed options.
On 4 November 2026, Apple’s search API for the India App Store returned no ByteDance app for “capcut”, CapCut’s India App Store URL returned HTTP 404 (not found), and its Google Play page with the India store selected returned “Not found” as well. So the CapCut Pro price in India has no official answer, and I would treat any rupee figure for it as somebody’s conversion or a reseller’s price rather than CapCut’s.
- Status in India: reported blocked since July 2020, with no report of an unban found as of November 2026. CapCut is missing from the government’s 29 June 2020 list of 59 apps; Inc42 reported it among the 47 apps blocked in July 2020.
- Store listings on 4 November 2026: the India App Store and Google Play India pages for CapCut returned not found; the US pages for the same app were live.
- US price, for reference only: capcut.com showed Pro at USD 19.99 a month or USD 179.99 a year. That is the dollar price the page displayed, not an India price.
- What to do instead: use an editor that India’s stores list, such as the free Edits and Adobe Premiere mobile apps, or InShot Pro at ₹399 a month on the India App Store.
VPN, APK, gift-card, foreign-account and region-switch routes are ways around a government block, so this post does not cover them.
Is CapCut Banned in India?
Yes, as far as the dated record shows. Inc42 reported in August 2020 that CapCut was among the apps blocked in July 2020, the news feed below carried no report of an unban, and CapCut was still missing from India’s app stores on 4 November 2026. The record of when it was blocked is thinner than some of the pages quoted further down suggest:
| Date | What the record says | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 29 June 2020 | The IT ministry blocked 59 apps under section 69A of the IT Act, ”( see Appendix)”. TikTok is first on the appendix; CapCut is not on it | PIB press release, 29 June 2020 |
| July 2020 | 47 more apps were blocked. “The second list of Chinese apps banned in July has not been released officially yet,” Business Standard wrote on 5 August 2020 | Business Standard, 5 August 2020 |
| 5 August 2020 | Inc42 reported that a list of 15 of the 47 apps, accessed by the Economic Times, included “ByteDance-owned video editing app CapCut” | Inc42, 5 August 2020 |
| 4 November 2026 | Google News’s India edition, searched for “capcut india”, carried no report of an unban. ETV Bharat’s 22 May 2026 headline on CapCut’s tie-up with Gemini reads “Indian Users May Miss Out” | Google News India feed |
In these sources, CapCut’s July 2020 block rests on Inc42’s report of a partial list that the Economic Times obtained, and Business Standard wrote the same day that the government had not released the list officially. The part a reader can check today is the store listings.
CapCut Pro Price in India: What the Stores Show
On 4 November 2026 neither India store listed CapCut, so neither showed a rupee price for CapCut Pro. These are the results for the same app that day:
| Check | India edition | US edition |
|---|---|---|
| App Store page, app ID 1500855883 | apps.apple.com/in/…: HTTP 404, not found | apps.apple.com/us/…: listed, seller BYTEDANCE PTE. LTD., with in-app prices |
| Apple’s lookup API for that ID | country=in: “resultCount”:0 | country=us: “resultCount”:1 |
| Apple’s search API for “capcut” | country=in: no ByteDance app in the results; VN, EasyCut, Instagram, InShot and ChatGPT came back | Not checked |
| Google Play, com.lemon.lvoverseas | gl=IN: “Not found” | gl=US: listed |
As a control, Canva’s India App Store page returned HTTP 200 the same day, so the /in/ path works for apps that India’s store carries. A store listing that does not exist cannot carry a rupee price, so neither India store gives an official “CapCut Pro price in India monthly” or “yearly in rupees” figure.
What CapCut Pro Costs Where It Is Sold
These are dollar prices, and they are here only so you can judge the rupee figures other pages print. I have not converted them, because a conversion would be my arithmetic and not a price CapCut charges anyone in India.
CapCut’s pricing page on 4 November 2026:
| Plan | Monthly | Yearly | AI credits a month | Storage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | USD 0 | USD 0 | Not stated | Not stated |
| Pro | USD 19.99 | USD 179.99 | 1,200 | 1 TB |
| Ultra | USD 79 | USD 900 | 8,645 | 1 TB |
| Teams | USD 12.49 per seat, 2 seats shown | USD 107.5 per seat | 1,200 per seat | 1 TB |
The page carries two warnings worth reading before you quote any of it: “Displayed pricing is for reference only. Sign in to see final pricing, taxes, and any applicable offers for your account,” and, in its FAQ, “Plan availability and features may vary by region, platform, and current offering.” The FAQ also offers a 7-day free trial of Pro to new users, with availability that “may vary by region”.
The US App Store listing prints a different set of in-app items:
| In-app item (US App Store) | Price |
|---|---|
| Standard Monthly Subscription | $9.99 |
| Pro Monthly Subscription | $19.99 |
| Monthly Subscription | $19.99, and a second item at $7.99 |
| Yearly Subscription | $89.99 |
Apple’s list does not say which plan the $7.99 and $89.99 items belong to. The $9.99 that Agency Handy’s guide below gives as CapCut Pro’s price is the item Apple names Standard Monthly Subscription.
CapCut Pro Prices for India Online, Checked
Pages written about CapCut’s price and ban print India figures and dates that the primary pages do not support.
| What a page says | Where | What the primary page shows |
|---|---|---|
| ”India: Roughly $6-8/month” | Agency Handy’s CapCut pricing guide, updated 3 September 2026 | The India App Store and Google Play India pages for CapCut returned not found on 4 November 2026 |
| ”CapCut Pro costs $9.99/month or $89.99/year” | The same guide | capcut.com: Pro at USD 19.99 a month or USD 179.99 a year; $9.99 is the US App Store’s Standard Monthly item |
| ”On June 29, 2020, the Indian government banned CapCut along with 58 other Chinese-origin apps” | FluxNote’s India alternatives guide, updated 14 August 2026 | The PIB appendix of 29 June 2020 lists 59 apps, and CapCut is not one of them |
| ”As a response to border clashes with China in May 2020, the Indian government banned around 56 Chinese applications including CapCut” | Wikipedia’s CapCut article | The government’s 29 June 2020 release names 59 apps, and CapCut is not one of them |
Legal CapCut Alternatives in India, by Creator Type
The app prices below are from India App Store listings on 4 November 2026, and where an app is free, its listing says so. The last three rows point to my posts that carry those vendors’ rupee prices. Prices change, so check the listing on the day you pay.
| If you | Use | Price in India | What the listing says |
|---|---|---|---|
| Edit Reels on an iPhone and post to Instagram | Edits, by Instagram | Free, with in-app purchases; also on Google Play India | ”Export your videos in 4K with no watermark”, auto captions, green screen |
| Want a multi-track timeline on iPhone or Android | Adobe Premiere mobile | Free; Premiere Mobile Monthly ₹799, Yearly ₹6,900 on the App Store; also on Google Play India | ”Everything you need to edit videos is available for free. Only pay when you need Firefly generative AI credits.” |
| Want filter and transition packs with the watermark off | InShot | InShot Pro ₹399 a month, ₹1,499 a year or ₹3,999 lifetime on the App Store; also on Google Play India | Pro Unlimited unlocks paid materials, and “Watermark and advertisements will be removed automatically” |
| Make short videos in the same tool as your posts and slides | Canva | Rupee prices on Canva’s own India page | Covered in my Canva Pro price check for India, with Pro’s Ultra AI for video clips |
| Edit long YouTube videos on a laptop | Filmora, or Premiere on desktop in Creative Cloud | Rupee prices in the two posts linked here | See where Filmora’s rupee prices differ by channel and what Adobe’s India student plan costs over two years |
| Add AI voiceovers to your edits | ElevenLabs | INR at checkout, per its help centre | My ElevenLabs price check for Indian buyers has the plans |
Two rules from those listings:
- If you only post to Instagram, start with Edits: it is free, and its listing promises 4K export with no watermark.
- If you need a paid tier, compare InShot Pro’s ₹1,499 a year with Premiere mobile’s ₹6,900 a year; Premiere’s listing ties payment to Firefly AI credits, while InShot’s ties it to the watermark, ads and paid packs.
If the next thing you pay Instagram for is a verified badge rather than an editor, the dated rupee prices for Meta Verified set Apple’s India listings against what Meta itself has published.
