With low subscription rates, Apple could keep us paying forever if we want the best out of our devices. It wasn’t all that long ago when Apple charged for all of those things. Then there’s the iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote), iMovie, Clips, Shazam, and even macOS itself. By comparison, Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro look like bargains, costing about 15 cents a day to use with the ability to cancel at any time.īut who’s to say Apple’s subscription model will only apply to these apps? Apple also sells MainStage ($29.99), Motion ($49.99), Compressor ($49.99), and Remote Desktop ($79.99), and previously offered in-app purchases for GarageBand. Granted, those terms are still cheaper and friendlier than the comparable Adobe apps, Premiere Pro and Audition, which each cost $31.49 a month with no commitment, $20.99 a month on an annual basis (with a cancellation fee equal to 50 percent of the remaining balance), or $239.88 per year. Based on the subscription terms above, someone who started using Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro in 2011 would by now have paid around $1,700 for the same software that in reality cost $498.98 to buy outright.

That might not sound like terrible pricing, but consider that it’s been 10 years since Apple has offered a paid update to either app. Final Cut Pro on the iPad will be Apple’s first app that requires a subscription-but it won’t be the last.īased on the current prices, a subscription model for Final Cut Pro on the Mac will likely cost $9.99 a month or $99 a year, while Logic Pro will probably be a little cheaper, maybe $6.99 a month/$69.99 a year.
