Users can purchase additional usage limits for Creator Studio apps for $50
Apple has begun selling one-time packs for expanded access to artificial intelligence features in its professional applications. The first software to offer this option is Logic Pro. This was reported by 9To5Mac, according to the portal PromPolitInform.
The developer has started commercializing artificial intelligence technologies that were previously available to users for free. The new monetization model involves purchasing additional usage volumes for AI tools through so-called intelligence usage packs.
Monetization of features in Logic Pro
As part of the latest update to the professional software Logic Pro, users can now purchase a bundle of additional resources for $49.99. Payment is made via a one-time purchase, distinguishing this approach from the traditional subscriptions that dominate the AI services market.
The purchased capacity is not eligible for Family Sharing and is tied to a specific Apple Account. Unused limits roll over and remain available for 12 months after the transaction, after which they expire.
Expansion to other applications
In the near future, similar purchase tools for additional limits will become available in other products within the Apple Creator Studio suite. Specifically, this includes Final Cut Pro, Pixelmator Pro, and the iWork office suite.
Analysts predict that in the future, a similar payment model could be applied to server-based Apple solutions, including enhanced capabilities for the Siri voice assistant, photo editing tools, and the Image Playground functionality.
