Yes, you can still try Logic Pro free, but the old 90-day Mac trial is no longer how Apple does it. Apple's Logic Pro trial page now points to Apple Creator Studio, a bundle that includes Logic Pro, MainStage and Final Cut Pro, which you can try free for one month as a new member. Apple also offers three months free with an eligible new device.
If you've read older guides promising 90 days, that's why they don't match what you see. Apple's support article about the 90-day Logic Pro trial now returns a not found page, and the trial link takes you to Creator Studio instead. Here's how the current trial works.
What changed: from 90 days to Creator Studio
Apple's Logic Pro page explains that Logic Pro and MainStage are part of Apple Creator Studio, a suite that also includes Final Cut Pro, Pixelmator Pro, Motion and Compressor. When you start a free trial of Creator Studio, Apple says you can download all its apps, including Logic Pro and MainStage, directly from the App Store.
Apple also says Logic Pro for Mac is still available as a one-off App Store version, and the plan and one-off versions have all the same features. So the trial is now a trial of the bundle, not of a standalone Logic download.
The free trial options
| Offer | Length | Who it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Standard trial | 1 month free | New members to Apple Creator Studio |
| Student and educator plan | 1 month free | Verified college students and educators, new members only |
| New device offer | 3 months free | New and qualified returning members who claim within 3 months of activating an eligible device |
Apple's terms for the device offer say it's one offer per Apple Account and one per family in a Family Sharing group, and it isn't available if you or your family have accepted a Creator Studio three months free offer before.
Check your Mac first
This is the step to do before you start the clock. Apple says Logic Pro requires a Mac with Apple silicon running macOS 15.6 or later. On iPad, it needs iPadOS 26 or later and an iPad with an A12 Bionic chip or later. If you've got an older Intel Mac, the trial won't help you, so check About This Mac first.
How to start the Logic Pro free trial
- Check your Mac has Apple silicon and macOS 15.6 or later.
- Go to Apple's Logic Pro trial page or Apple Creator Studio in the App Store and choose the free trial.
- Sign in with your Apple Account and confirm. Apple says the plan renews automatically until cancelled.
- Download Logic Pro, and MainStage if you play live, from the App Store.
- If you have Family Sharing, Apple says a standard Creator Studio plan can be shared with up to five other family members.
Student and educator plans are the exception: Apple says those are for individual use and can't be shared through Family Sharing.
What you get in the trial
- Logic Pro for Mac and iPad, with Apple's instruments, effects and Sound Library.
- Session Players and beat-making tools such as Step Sequencer. Apple says Session Players need a Mac with Apple silicon or an iPad with an M1 chip or later.
- MainStage for live performance.
- The rest of Creator Studio, including Final Cut Pro and Pixelmator Pro, plus premium content in Keynote, Pages, Numbers and Freeform.
Apple says Keynote, Pages, Numbers and Freeform stay free for everyone either way. The trial adds premium templates, content and AI features on top.
If you already own Logic Pro
You don't lose it. Apple says that if you already own Logic Pro, MainStage, Final Cut Pro or the other standalone apps, you can keep using them, and they're still available as one-off versions to download and redownload from the App Store.
Logic Pro on iPad during the trial
The Creator Studio trial isn't just for Mac. Apple says Logic Pro for iPad gives you Play Surfaces to tap piano keys, drum pads and chord strips, and you can move projects between Mac and iPad as you work. Apple says moving between them needs your iPad and Mac signed in with the same Apple Account. With Logic Remote on an iPhone or iPad you can also control Logic on your Mac from across the room.
Is the Logic Pro free trial worth it?
Yes, if your Mac meets the requirements and you've got a track or podcast to work on during the month. A month is shorter than the old 90 days, so go in with a project. If you're comparing options, my guide to the best music making apps covers lighter tools, and if you'll edit video too, here are the Final Cut Pro alternatives worth knowing.
Want AI doing the heavy lifting in your marketing?
I build the systems that handle the boring 80 percent, so you get your week back. Done properly, with the human kept in.
My verdict: check you've got an Apple silicon Mac, start the Creator Studio trial when you've got time to make music, and use the three-month device offer instead if you've just bought a new Mac or iPad.
