## CapCut in India

CapCut is not officially available in India: it is not on the Indian App Store, and its pricing page shows no plans to visitors from India (checked 3 Nov 2026). See also [CapCut vs VEED](/compare/capcut-vs-veed).

## Three differences that matter

- **Free limits.** Kapwing's free plan caps each export at 4 minutes and 30 minutes of export a month. Storage is 5GB. CapCut's help page says exports can be watermark-free.
- **Dubbing and voice.** Kapwing lists dubbing into 40+ languages, and lip sync videos on Business. We found neither on the CapCut pages we read.
- **Claude connection.** Kapwing has an official MCP connector for Claude and ChatGPT. It works on any plan, including free, and uses workspace credits. We found no official CapCut one.

## What each does well

- **CapCut:** desktop tools such as Auto Cut and Remove filler words, plus templates and text to speech.
- **Kapwing:** Repurpose Studio turns a video into social-ready clips. It also has Resize Video, Clean Audio and shared feedback.

## Worked example: team plan

Say 4 people share a Kapwing Pro workspace.

- Billed monthly: 4 x $24 = $96 a month, or $1,152 a year.
- Billed yearly: 4 x $16 = $64 a month, or $768 a year.

Yearly saves $1,152 − $768 = $384. Pro also adds Brand Kit, 4K and exports up to 120 minutes.

## Where Marxx fits

[Marxx's AI video editor](/features/ai-video-editor) also runs in the browser. Claude can edit the open project over MCP, while it is open in a desktop browser. It asks for a quote before anything that spends credits. We make Marxx.
