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.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.
