Apple’s $50 Intelligence Usage Packs extend access to some AI features
Apple 把 Logic Pro 里的 AI 助手用量做成了 49.99 美元的一次性加购包，免费额度用完才掏钱，跟 OpenAI、Anthropic 那种月订阅模式思路完全不同。做音乐创作、经常用 Creator Studio 这类功能的人可以看看自己够不够用。
Apple 在 9 月初发布支持文档，明确了部分 Apple Intelligence 功能的用量上限，随后在 Logic Pro 中上线了"Buy More Usage"一次性付费选项，价格为 49.99 美元。这一 Usage Packs 机制允许用户在免费额度用尽后继续调用 AI 功能。Logic Pro 内置的 AI 助手可完成"开始一首新歌"等创作任务，Creator Studio 等功能同样受用量限制约束。
按用量付费的做法意味着 Apple Intelligence 的部分高级功能并非无限免费提供，重度用户需要额外付费扩容。相比 OpenAI、Anthropic 等按订阅或按 token 计费的模式，Apple 选择了针对具体功能的一次性购买包。对依赖 Logic Pro 创作音乐的用户和企业来说，需要重新评估 AI 辅助创作的实际成本。
