Creator-First Monetization, Explained
How FreeCut earns money without weaponising your timeline.
2 min read2026-01-15by FreeCut Editorial
FreeCut is free to use, with a Pro tier and an optional marketplace. We never show ads over your timeline, preview, inspector or while you export.
Rules we hold ourselves to
- No ads during playback, scrubbing or export.
- No interstitials when you launch the app.
- Rewarded ads only for explicit unlocks like a premium template — never for clean export.
- Sponsored content is clearly labelled and surface-restricted.
