Following the launch of the Apple Creator Studio bundle on January 13, 2026, Apple has discontinued the individual free trial for its professional creative apps. This means you can no longer individually download Final Cut Pro or Logic Pro on their own to try them out for free.
Instead, Apple now wants you to use the Creator Studio Bundle. It bundles access to all of the company’s pro creative tools in a single subscription.
No more free 90-day Final Cut Pro or Logic Pro trial
For years, Apple offered generous 90-day free trials for Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro. You could download each app individually from Apple’s website, try them risk-free for three months, and then decide whether to buy the standalone version from the Mac App Store.
That option is now gone. With the Apple Creator Studio bundle debut, Apple has quietly pulled the individual free trials for its pro creative apps from its website, removing all mentions of them in the process.
Most professional apps of Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro’s caliber don’t offer such a generous trial period. More importantly, once the 90-day trial expired, you could install a newer version of the app. This would effectively reset the trial window again by three months.
With the individual free trial option removed, this hack will also no longer work.
Creator Studio bundle offers a smaller trial period
Now, if you want to try Final Cut Pro or Logic Pro, you’ll have to subscribe to the Creator Studio bundle. For new users, Apple is offering a one-month free trial. With a new device, that trial period jumps to 90 days.
However, after that, you must pay $12.99 per month or $129 per year. Or you can outright buy the standalone versions of these apps as a one-time purchase.
You will get access to six pro apps as part of the bundle across iPad and Mac. But for anyone who only needed Final Cut Pro or Logic Pro, losing the 90-day free trial makes the change more restrictive.
