Apple has announced ‘Apple Creator Studio’ bundle for iPad and Mac. Let’s have a look at the important features and price.
Apple Creator Studio is the Bundle that Should Have Existed a Long Time Ago
I’m not going to make you scroll to the end of the page for pricing. Apple says the Creator Studio bundle will set you back $12.99 a month, or $129 per year. Education pricing is even better, starting at $2.99 a month, or $29 a year.
Apple is going to throw in a month-long trial for users when they subscribe. And with Family Sharing, you can share the bundle with up to six people.
When it will be available? Apple says you can get the bundle on January 28 from the App Store.
Qualifying new iPad and Mac customers get up to three months of the bundle for free. This includes a device with at least 6GB of RAM, the A16, A17 Pro, or M-series chip.
You can still buy Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Pixelmator Pro, Motion, Compressor, and MainStage with a one-time purchase from the Mac App Store.
One Bundle to Rule them All
Apple is offering all of its creative apps as a universal bundle, allowing users to get access to the best software as a subscription that is priced right.
The bundle includes Final Cut, Logic Pro, Pixelmator Pro, MainStage, Motion, Compressor, Pages, Keynote, Numbers, and Freeform. All of these apps available in the bundle include premium features, as well as AI to make editing and creating way more fun.
And yes, in case you’re wondering, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and Freeform will remain free and continue to receive updates. But once you subscribe to Apple Creator Studio, you get access to premium features which aren’t available in the free version.
Pixelmator Pro Comes to iPad
For the first time, Pixelmator Pro is coming to iPad with the same powerful features as its desktop counterpart. And someone who uses Pixelmator a little too much, this solves a huge problem for me on iPad.
Apple says the app has been made from scratch for iPadOS 26, and it includes intuitive touch controls including support for Apple Pencil.
Finally, some great news after the acquisition a while ago.
Some Thoughts
At just $129 a year for all of these apps, the Apple Creator Studio bundle is a fantastic deal to access the best software there is on the Mac and iPad.
To give you an idea how good this bundle is, it costs $299 to own Final Cut Pro on the Mac. For that amount of money, can get two years of the bundle, still have money left over, and get access to all of Apple’s creative apps instead.
And if you’re a student, the Apple Creator Studio is simply a crazy deal.
