GoKawiilApple begins selling $50 AI usage packs starting with Logic Pro
Apple has launched its first paid add-on for Apple Intelligence features, a one-time $49.99 'intelligence usage pack' now available in Logic Pro. The packs expand monthly AI usage limits, roll over for 12 months, and apply only to the Apple Account used for iCloud at purchase, with no Family Sharing support. Apple says similar usage packs are expected soon in Final Cut Pro, Pixelmator Pro, and the iWork suite as part of its Creator Studio apps.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
This marks Apple's first concrete move toward monetizing Apple Intelligence beyond free tiers, a shift the company had previously signaled was coming. The one-time purchase structure, rather than a subscription, suggests Apple may be testing how users respond before potentially extending paid AI usage to other features like Siri.
- Logic Pro now offers a $49.99 one-time 'intelligence usage pack' for extra AI feature usage.
- Purchases are tied to a single Apple Account, don't support Family Sharing, and expire after 12 months.
