Apple is challenging Adobe with its new Apple Creative Studio subscription for a much cheaper price

Apple has announced its own version of the Adobe Cloud network by gathering its best software programs in a brand-new Apple Creative Studio subscription – and it’s super cheap.

The tech giants have been so focused on the iPhone and CarPlay in the latter half of 2025 that we almost forgot everything else in the works.

But straight off the bat in 2026, Apple has confidently reminded everyone that it has more arrows in its quiver, especially when it comes to software.

Now, the Apple Creative Studio brings together its best programs to rival Adobe, with its Photoshop and Premiere Pro alternatives all in one place.

Apple Creative Studio announced, featuring Final Cut, Pixelmator, Logic, and more

With a whole arsenal of new products coming from Apple in 2026, we’ve all been focused on the big hardware that follows up on the impressive iPhone 17 release.

But programs like Final Cut, Pixelmator, Logic, and more continue to be used by hundreds of thousands of creative minds every day.

So, to bring everything to one place, the Apple Creative Studio has been announced.

The centralized hub streamlines to proccesses for video editing, picture creation, audio enhancing, and a multitude of creative skills, allowing a new flex of artistic skills all in one place.

“Apple Creator Studio is a great value that enables creators of all types to pursue their craft and grow their skills by providing easy access to the most powerful and intuitive tools for video editing, music making, creative imaging, and visual productivity,” Apple Senior Vice President of Internet Software Eddie Cue said.

But the real hook is the price, as it undercuts its main rivals by a massive margin.

Apple undercuts Adobe by a significant amount with its rival platform

While there are some big differences between the likes of Photoshop and Pixelmator, Apple has completely blown its competitors out of the water with its subscription price.

The tech giant has revealed that the entire Apple Creative Studio subscription will be just $12.99 (or $129 a year).

To put that into perspective, the Final Cut Pro alternative, Premiere Pro, costs $21.98 a month alone, growing up to $70 for the full package including Photoshop and Illustrator.

And, the new agreement with Google Gemini continues to back this platform with arguably the most creative virtual assistant on the market.

“There’s never been a more flexible and accessible way to get started with such a powerful collection of creative apps for professionals, emerging artists, entrepreneurs, students, and educators to do their best work and explore their creative interests from start to finish,” Cue added.

It comes as a good change of pace for Apple, which is used to being undercut by itself, as the likes of Xiaomi released rival products at more affordable prices.
