Which plan to pickPremium 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.If anything you make is for a business, skip Starter, because it has no commercial licence. Creator at $35 a month is the real entry point. Credits don't roll over and payments aren't refunded, so start monthly.Pro is the one for almost everyone: 2,500 credits is around 500 songs, with commercial rights and 20 downloads a month. Go Premier only if you need stems and the Studio editor, or you download more than 20 tracks a month.
