"Apple's new Creator Studio subscription bundle officially launches today, offering access to a wide range of updated professional apps for an all-or-nothing price of $13 a month or $130 a year. Teachers and students can get the same apps for $3 a month, or $30 a year. The bundle includes either access to or enhanced features for a total of 10 Apple apps, though the base versions of several of these are available for free to all Mac and iPad owners:"
"When companies introduce a subscription-based model for long-standing apps with an established user base, they often shift exclusively to a subscription model, offering continuous updates in return for a more consistent revenue stream. But these aren't always popular with subscription-fatigued users, who have seen virtually all major paid software shift to a subscription model in the last 10 or 15 years, and who in recent years have had to deal with prices that are continuously being ratcheted upward."
Apple's Creator Studio subscription bundle launches today, offering access to updated professional apps for $13/month or $130/year, with teacher and student pricing at $3/month or $30/year. The bundle provides access or enhanced features for ten Apple apps, while base versions of several remain free to Mac and iPad owners. Included apps are Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Pixelmator Pro, Keynote, Pages, Numbers, Freeform, Motion, Compressor, and MainStage (Mac only). Apple is keeping many Mac versions available as free or one-time purchases, making its approach closer to Microsoft's Office than Adobe's subscription model.
