The app and this website come from the same hands.

If you edit video on an iPhone, you know the pattern: the editor is “free”, the timeline works, the cut is done — and only at export does the app stamp a watermark across the frame or demand a subscription before it will even save the result. By that point the hour of work is already invested, and that is exactly what this business model counts on.

FreeCut turns that model around. The core editor is free — completely: a multi-track timeline, styled text, keyframe animation, linked audio and video, and export to Photos or Files without a forced FreeCut watermark. The clean export is not a Pro feature we hold back; it is the core of the product.

The funding is transparent: the free version shows ads. If you want to work ad-free, Pro costs €3.99 per month or €39.99 per year — billed through Apple, cancellable any time. Pro changes nothing else: no extra unlocked features, no higher export quality, no hidden gate. All details are on the pricing page.

The app and the website are made under the same roof in Wuppertal. There is no agency writing copy about a product it has never opened — the descriptions on this site come from the people who also wrote the code behind them.

That leads to our most important editorial rule: every product claim on freecut.de is limited to what the public App Store listing of the current version documents. Features that are in local development on our machines are never marketed before they ship publicly. Every page carries a review date, so you can see when we last checked the content against the store build.

Part of that rule is a decision we made deliberately: this site used to list planned things too — AI credits, a lifetime purchase, template packs. We decided to publish only what we can prove, and removed that content. What you read on freecut.de today, you can verify in the App Store and in the app itself.

For you as a reader, that means in practice: no promises about the future, prices stated plainly, and guides you can reproduce step by step with the current public version.
