Apple’s Creator Studio bundle is now available to everyone. The new subscription was introduced about two weeks ago and developers can sign up for Apple Creator Studio for $12.99 per month. With this price, Apple is targeting video editors, musicians and digital artists who want professional tools without committing to an expensive creative subscription like Adobe’s.
What you actually get with Apple Creator Studio
At the heart of Creator Studio are six powerful creative apps that cover almost every aspect of modern content production. These are not weakened versions either. Users get access to premium and AI-powered features built into these apps, as well as deep integration with the Apple ecosystem.
Final Cut Pro remains Apple’s flagship video editor with smart features like Transcript Search to quickly find specific spoken words in clips, visual search for on-screen objects, and Beat Detection that adapts edits to the rhythm of your music.
LogicPro is Apple’s long-trusted music production platform, now powered by AI-powered tools like Synth Player for electronic sounds and Chord ID, which converts recordings into usable chord progressions.

How Apple’s pricing compares to Adobe’s
Creator Studio is Apple’s answer to growing frustration with expensive creative software. It costs $12.99 per month or $129 if paid annually. That’s a fraction of what developers pay for Adobe’s Creative Cloud, which is significantly more expensive for access to tools like Premiere Pro, Photoshop and After Effects.
Apple’s package may not cover every niche Adobe serves, but for many developers it offers serious value at a price that’s hard to ignore. This launch also comes at an interesting time for Apple hardware, as MacBook Pro models with more powerful M5 series chips could soon launch, potentially giving Creator Studio even more performance headroom.
