Logic Pro marks the first application to introduce a paid tier for extended access to Apple Intelligence features.
Following its September support update detailing usage restrictions for certain Apple Intelligence functions, Apple has added a “Buy More Usage” option to Logic Pro. Priced at a one-time fee of $49.99, as reported by 9to5Mac, this update allows users to access the app's built-in AI assistant. This tool can perform tasks such as “starting a new song, setting up a vocal track from a single prompt, or refining an active project.”
Apple refers to these bundles as Intelligence Usage Packs, which enable users to maintain access to features constrained by usage limits, particularly those utilizing cloud-based models from OpenAI or Google Gemini. These packs are tied to the purchasing Apple Account and do not support Family Sharing. As outlined on the Apple website, any unused capacity rolls over monthly but expires 12 months after purchase.
Regarding Logic Pro, Apple states that the usage cap is determined by “the complexity of conversations you have with the assistant.” Users who exceed their limits can purchase an Intelligence Usage Pack directly from the “Intelligence Features > Show Usage” section within the app's main menu.
Currently, Logic Pro is the sole application offering this purchasing option. However, Apple plans to expand this feature to other Creator Studio tools this month, including Pixelmator Pro, Final Cut Pro, and Motion. Additionally, productivity applications like Pages, Keynote, and Numbers are set to gain access to Apple’s AI chatbot.
