"Combine the trends and it's evident that not only are people more prepared to subscribe to apps than in the past, but that they're beginning to see the value in doing so. (That doesn't excuse greed - how many users winced at recent price increases for Office 365, for example? Who else using creative apps feels as if the price they're paying is far more painful than any "Apple tax"?)"
"Apple's Creator Studio comprises two of the world's most widely used creative apps, along with Photoshop competitor Pixelmator Pro. The suite also includes specialized tools for audio and video, and Apple's own Office-compatible apps for spreadsheets, presentations, documents, and collaboration. The cost? $12.99 a month. We can only speculate for now about the probable success of the bundle once it launches later this month, but we can already take an objective look at the timing of the release:"
Subscription uptake has increased as consumers show greater willingness to pay for apps and recognize ongoing value in subscriptions. Recent price hikes for services such as Office 365 have caused user backlash and raised concerns about perceived greed in subscription pricing. Creative app users often find current prices particularly painful, sometimes more so than any perceived 'Apple tax'. Apple's Creator Studio bundles two of the world's most widely used creative apps, Photoshop competitor Pixelmator Pro, specialized audio and video tools, and Office-compatible apps for spreadsheets, presentations, documents, and collaboration. The bundle is priced at $12.99 per month. The bundle's market success remains uncertain and depends in part on release timing.
