Apple announced it will sell fifty‑dollar usage packs that extend access to certain AI features in its Creator Studio apps. The company published a support article in early September outlining usage limits for some Apple Intelligence features. Logic Pro now offers a “Buy More Usage” option for a one‑time price of forty‑nine dollars and ninety‑nine cents, spotted by 9to5Mac. The packs allow continued use of AI tools that rely on cloud‑based models from OpenAI or Google Gemini. Unused credits roll over month to month but expire twelve months after purchase, and the packs are tied to the Apple Account that bought them. Apple plans to add the option to other Creator Studio apps this month, including Pixelmator Pro, Final Cut Pro, Motion, Pages, Keynote, and Numbers.
