The Cap Desktop application you can download from our download page is free to use, but requires a commercial license to be used for commercial purposes. You can obtain a commercial license by purchasing them standalone, or by purchasing Cap Pro. For more information, see our pricing page.
This license does not apply to versions of the app you build yourself from our source code, only to binaries that we distribute.
What Are Commercial Purposes?
We define commercial purposes as any use of Cap Desktop for recording or editing content that will be used as part of revenue-generating activities. This includes but is not limited to:
- Producing content for promotion or demonstration of your employer's product or service
- Producing content for communication between team members of a company
Gifting a License
You can buy a Desktop License for someone else. On the pricing page, press the gift button next to Get Desktop License and check out. You get a gift link on screen and by email. Send it to the person the license is for.
They open the link, or enter the key at cap.so/redeem, and enter their email. The license is then registered to them and the key is emailed to that address. A gift link works once.
