IT Home reported on November 10 that tech outlet 9to5Mac published a post yesterday (November 9) saying Apple has begun rolling out paid “Intelligence Usage Packs” for some Apple Intelligence features. The first product to offer them is the music creation software Logic Pro, where a pack costs $49.99 (IT Home note: approximately 333.9 yuan at the current exchange rate).
To purchase a pack, users can select “Intelligent Features” → “Show Usage” from the Logic Pro app menu bar, then click “Buy More Usage.”
Unlike the monthly subscription model used by mainstream AI services, an “Intelligence Usage Pack” is a one-time purchase of additional usage valid for 12 months. Unused additional usage carries over from month to month and is consumed only after the monthly free allowance has been exhausted. The pack does not support Family Sharing and can be used only with the iCloud Apple Account used to purchase it.
The report says the paid feature is first being introduced in Logic Pro, but the outlet expects it to expand soon to other Apple Creator Studio apps, including Final Cut Pro, Pixelmator Pro and the iWork suite. It also says Apple may eventually extend a similar system to cloud-dependent AI features such as Siri AI, Image Playground and photo editing.
The outlet interprets this to mean that basic Apple Intelligence features remain free for now, but heavy users who want more AI generation, processing or creation capacity may have to pay extra. For creators, a one-time $50 purchase (approximately 334.3 yuan at the current exchange rate) valid for 12 months may be more flexible than a fixed monthly fee.
Regarding the free allowance, IT Home checked Apple’s official website and reports from overseas media but has not yet found specific details of the monthly free AI usage allowance for Apple Creator Studio apps such as Logic Pro.
