Apple has unveiled a new subscription service called 'Creator Studio' for a monthly fee of $12.99 or an annual charge of $129. This bundle is aimed at creative professionals, students, and other creators, marking a significant move to increase the company's recurring services revenue. The package grants access to a suite of applications including Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, and Pixelmator Pro on both Mac and iPad, in addition to Motion, Compressor, and MainStage exclusively on Mac.
The subscription also integrates new artificial intelligence-powered features and premium content into Apple's iWork suite of apps, such as Pages, Keynote, and Numbers. This launch positions Apple to compete more directly with other creative software providers through a bundled, lower-cost offering. A discounted rate of $2.99 per month is available for students and educators.
