Apple has launched Apple Creator Studio, a subscription-based suite that brings together a powerful collection of creative tools for video editing, music production, image design, and visual productivity — all under a single service. Available globally starting January 28, 2026, this new offering is designed to give creators more flexibility and access to professional-grade software across Mac, iPad, and iPhone devices.
With the shift toward subscription services, Apple Creator Studio aims to simplify how creators work with top-tier applications like Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, and Pixelmator Pro, plus other essential tools including Motion, Compressor, and MainStage. Additionally, premium content and intelligent features are being added to familiar productivity apps — Keynote, Pages, Numbers, and soon Freeform — to help users boost their creative output.
Apple says that the suite’s integrated features and AI-powered enhancements make creative workflows more efficient than ever. For instance, video editors can leverage advanced tools in Final Cut Pro that accelerate complex edits, while music producers will benefit from intelligent music-making features in Logic Pro. Pixelmator Pro arrives on iPad for the first time, with full support for Apple Pencil and touch-optimised controls.
Pricing and access: Apple Creator Studio will be offered at US$12.99 per month or US$129 per year, with a one-month free trial for new subscribers. Students and educators can sign up at a significantly reduced rate of US$2.99 per month or US$29.99 per year. Family Sharing is supported for up to six users. Users who prefer to buy apps individually can still purchase one-time-license versions from the Mac App Store.
