Logic Pro now sells a $49.99 pack for more use of its AI assistant, the first time Apple has charged for extra Apple Intelligence use in an app.
Apple is now charging for extra use of its AI in Logic Pro, its music-making app. A new "Buy More Usage" option sells an Intelligence Usage Pack for a one-time $49.99. It is the first Apple app to charge for extended use of Apple Intelligence. The change was spotted by 9to5Mac and reported by The Verge.
Logic Pro has a built-in AI assistant. Apple says it can start a new song, set up a vocal track from a single prompt, or refine a project in progress. Some Apple Intelligence features have usage limits because they rely on cloud-based AI models from OpenAI or Google Gemini. The pack lets people keep using them after they hit the limit.
Apple says the limit depends on how complex your conversations with the assistant are. The material does not say how much use a pack adds or where the free limit sits. Only Logic Pro sells packs today. They are expected this month in Pixelmator Pro, Final Cut Pro and Motion, plus Pages, Keynote and Numbers, which are getting access to Apple's AI chatbot.
Free Apple AI features may now have limits, so check your usage screen before relying on them for paid work.
