Apple launches $49.99 'Intelligence Usage Packs', its first paid Apple Intelligence option

How it works

Apple is selling a one-time Intelligence Usage Pack for $49.99, found in Logic Pro under Intelligence Features. Extra usage is consumed only after you hit your monthly limit. Unused credit rolls over month to month, but purchased usage expires 12 months after purchase.

Limits

Packs don't support Family Sharing and work only with the Apple Account used for iCloud at purchase. Final Cut Pro, Pixelmator Pro and the iWork apps are expected to get packs when their updates arrive later this month. 9to5Mac says similar paid access may come to other server-based AI features, but that is not confirmed, and the report does not say which countries get the packs.
