Apple has unveiled a new subscription bundle called Creator Studio, designed to give creators seamless access to its top creative apps and premium content across Mac and iPad. Launching on January 28, the bundle costs $12.99 per month or $129 per year, while college students and educators can subscribe for $2.99 per month. New subscribers will also enjoy a one-month free trial.
The subscription includes flagship apps like Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, and Pixelmator Pro, along with Motion, Compressor, and MainStage on Mac. Apple is also adding premium content for iWork apps, including Keynote, Pages, and Numbers, and plans to introduce Freeform for iPhone, iPad, and Mac later this year. Notably, Pixelmator Pro will now be available on iPad for the first time, offering full Apple Pencil support and fast image editing tools.
Apple is also introducing several new features across its creative apps. Final Cut Pro now has Transcript Search, Visual Search, Beat Detection, Montage Maker, and Auto Crop for iPad. Logic Pro gains Synth Player, Chord ID, natural language search, and an expanded sound library. MainStage transforms Macs into live instruments or voice processors, while Motion and Compressor enhance motion graphics and content output capabilities.
For iWork users, the Creator Studio subscription unlocks a new Content Hub, providing high-quality photos, graphics, illustrations, and premium templates. Beta features in Keynote allow users to generate presentation drafts from text outlines, clean up slide layouts, and create presenter notes, while Numbers introduces Magic Fill to auto-generate formulas and populate tables intelligently.
“Apple Creator Studio is a great value for creators of all types,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet Software and Services. “It provides access to powerful tools for video editing, music production, creative imaging, and productivity—enhanced with intelligent features to streamline workflows.” Apple confirmed that all apps in the bundle will remain available as standalone purchases, while free versions of Keynote, Pages, Numbers, and Freeform will continue to be offered.
