Apple Rolls Out Creator Studio Subscription With Pro Apps and AI Perks

The launch signals a services push that puts new AI tools plus full iPad access behind the plan.

Overview

  • Creator Studio is live at $12.99 per month or $129 per year with a one‑month trial, and regional pricing includes CA$17.99 and ₹399 per month with education discounts.
  • Subscribers get Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Pixelmator Pro, Motion, Compressor and MainStage, while Keynote, Pages and Numbers gain premium templates, a Content Hub and new intelligence features.
  • Mac versions remain available as one‑time purchases, but full-featured iPad editions of Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro and Pixelmator Pro require the subscription, with no per‑app plan offered.
  • Pixelmator Pro debuts on iPad with a touch‑optimized UI and Apple Pencil support, as the older Pixelmator Classic stops receiving updates and some tools like Warp are subscriber‑only.
  • Apple has removed its Pro Apps Bundle for Education in favor of a verified, discounted Creator Studio plan that is not eligible for Family Sharing, while existing standalone app owners keep updates but miss some subscriber‑exclusive features.
