It includes six specialized programs for working with content: Final Cut Pro, Pixelmator Pro, Logic Pro, MainStage, Motion, and Compressor, as well as premium AI features in standard apps: Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and Freeform. 

The subscription costs $2.99–$12.99 per month, depending on the plan. Signing up is simple: download the Apple Creator Studio package from the App Store to your device. You can also use a free one-month trial period.

In this article, we will take a closer look at which options are included in Apple Creator Studio, whether there are any device requirements, and how to pay for the subscription.

What Is Apple Creator Studio? 

Apple Creator Studio is professional software and brand services for creativity, combined into one subscription. Starting January 28, 2026, the package is available in the App Store. With it, you get access to a full library of apps that previously had to be purchased separately. This software makes it easier to work with music, graphics, and video. 

Who Is the Subscription Created For? 

Apple Creator Studio is suitable for creative content creators who work within the brand’s ecosystem. 

The subscription is beneficial for students in creative fields, as the brand has a special offer for them. 

How Is Apple Creator Studio Different from Separate Apps? 

Now you do not need to buy each program separately — you get access to all the apps in the package at once and can use them on different devices. You can shoot a video outdoors and immediately start editing it on your iPad, then finish the project on your Mac at home. 

What Is Included in Apple Creator Studio? 

The subscription includes premium versions of six programs. Mac-only apps include: 

• Motion — animation and titles; 

• Compressor — file optimization; 

• MainStage — live performance use. 

The following programs work on both Mac and iPad: 

• Final Cut Pro — video editing; 

• Pixelmator Pro — retouching and design; 

• Logic Pro — track creation and mixing. 

You also get access to premium AI features in standard apps, which can also be used on iPhone. For example, in Pages, AI checks text for errors and quickly rewrites it in the style you need. In Keynote, you can generate illustrations and full slides from a description. In Numbers, you can write text prompts for formulas, and AI can also automatically fill tables based on context. In Freeform, it is easy to turn a sketch into an image. 

Limitations and Requirements 

Your device must have an M1 chip or newer to use all the benefits of the subscription. If your Mac has an Intel processor, you can work in the apps, but AI features will not be available. For Pixelmator Pro, the latest OS is required: macOS 26 or iPadOS 26. 

How Much Does Apple Creator Studio Cost? 

The subscription price depends on the selected plan: 

• individual — $12.99 per month or $129 per year; 

• education — $2.99 per month or $29.99 per year. 

The individual plan can be shared with up to five family members for free. The education plan is intended for students and teachers. The trial period can be used for one month. 

How to Pay for Apple Creator Studio 

To sign up for the subscription, use a Mac or iPad. The process is simple:
