Apple starts selling $50 AI usage packs for Logic Pro
Apple has begun selling extra AI access through one-time usage packs in Logic Pro.
The packs cost $49.99 each and are available through the app’s Intelligence Features menu.
Until now, Apple Intelligence features on Apple devices had been free, though Apple had said it would eventually charge for expanded use of some features.
The packs are tied to the Apple Account used to buy them and cannot be shared with family members.
Unused usage carries over month to month but expires 12 months after purchase, and it is used only after the monthly limit is reached.
Apple is expected to offer packs in Final Cut Pro, Pixelmator Pro and the iWork suite when their Creator Studio updates arrive this month.
For now, the paid packs cover Creator Studio apps; Apple may later use a similar model for other server-based AI features, but no timing is given.
Apple has launched $49.99 one-time intelligence usage packs for select AI features in Logic Pro.
The packs provide additional AI usage after a user reaches the app’s monthly limit.
They are tied to Apple Creator Studio apps and currently can be bought only in Logic Pro.
Unused additional usage rolls over monthly and expires 12 months after purchase.
Apple expects packs to become available in Final Cut Pro, Pixelmator Pro and the iWork suite when updates arrive this month.
