Which plan to pickStart on the free version; it is not time-limited. Buy Studio once you find yourself wanting Magic Mask, text-based editing or vertical reframing, since it is a single payment with free upgrades.Premium billed yearly is the sweet spot for practising: unlimited songs for about $3 a month. Only go Pro if you produce or remix and need Hi-Fi stems, separate drum parts or the plugin. App store prices can differ from the website.Start on the free plan. If you regularly hit the three-files or 30-minute limit, Unlimited billed yearly works out at $10 a month. Test a typical recording first, because purchases aren't refundable.
