AI for work

Workflows, privacy, and the part where a person still has to look.

A best-for note is a starting point for a stated job. It is not a ranked bake-off. We did not run the products, and your laptop does not owe us a benchmark.

Apple adds a $49.99 option to buy more Apple Intelligence usage in Logic Pro

The Verge reports that Logic Pro now has a "Buy More Usage" option, a one-time $49.99 purchase. It extends access to Apple Intelligence features that carry usage limits. Apple first described those limits in a support article in early September. According to the report, 9to5Mac spotted the change, and Logic Pro includes a built-in AI assistant that can help with tasks such as starting a new song.

Why it matters. Apple charging a separate fee for extra AI usage inside a pro app points to metered pricing for on-device and cloud AI features. That could change how creative professionals budget for these tools.

For Logic Pro users, Apple creative-app subscribers, and people tracking AI pricing models. Check Apple's support article for the actual usage limits, which features the pack covers, and whether other Creator Studio apps get the same option.
