What the pricing actually gets you
Neither publishes clean numbers, for different reasons. CapCut's editor is free with Pro pricing shown only in-app and varying by region. Invideo AI does not display pricing on its pricing page at all, and its free plan terms and export resolution are not stated publicly — you will need to check in-app before committing. Note also that prompt-to-video tools are typically metered by generated minutes, so cost tracks output volume rather than being a flat editor subscription.
