Apple adds $49.99 usage packs to Logic Pro

Apple added a “Buy More Usage” option to Logic Pro, priced at $49.99 for a one-time purchase.[1] Apple says packs let users continue using certain Apple Intelligence features after they hit usage limits.[1] Logic Pro’s assistant can help users start a song, set up a vocal track from a prompt or refine a project.[1] Apple says the limit for Logic Pro depends on the complexity of a user’s conversations with the assistant.[1] That means the amount of additional usage a user needs may vary with how they use the assistant.

Additional usage is used only after a user reaches the monthly limit for a relevant feature, according to Apple.[2] Unused additional usage rolls over from month to month, but expires 12 months after purchase.[1] A pack can be used only by the Apple Account that purchased it, and Apple does not support Family Sharing for usage packs.[1] 9to5Mac notes that the packs are one-time purchases rather than subscriptions, unlike many other AI offerings.[2] Teams should account for the individual-account restriction when considering who needs to make a purchase.

Logic Pro is currently the only app where users can buy additional usage, and the purchase option appears under Intelligence Features > Show Usage in the app’s main menu.[1] Apple says active Creator Studio subscribers in the US, UK, Canada, Brazil, France, Germany, India and Mexico can buy packs.[3] The Verge reports that availability is expected to expand this month to Pixelmator Pro, Final Cut Pro, Motion, Pages, Keynote and Numbers.[1] The reported expansion is an expectation, not confirmation in the evidence that the option is already live in those apps.

Apple said Logic Pro for Mac users would gain a new intelligent assistant in beta.[4] The assistant requires a Mac with Apple silicon running macOS 27 or later and is available in U.S. English only, according to Apple.[5] The Verge reports that features covered by the packs rely on cloud-based AI models from OpenAI or Google Gemini.[1] 9to5Mac reports that Apple had said it would eventually charge for expanded use of selected AI features.[2] These details give buyers practical checks—eligibility, device compatibility and account ownership—before they plan around paid usage.
