Honestly, like, it feels crazy that we are even able to buy software once anymore.

Like, that seems magical that you can buy Final Cut one time for $300.

It is a lost art.

Yeah.

But this does make it a lot more affordable, and generally I'm, like, very against monthly subscription stuff.

But I think the really interesting thing is that students, if you have an EDU account or you're a student, it's $3 a month or $30 a year.

That's a huge discount.

Well, that value is even better because the iPad version of Final Cut is a $5 a month subscription and so is the iPad version of Logic.

So if you're only paying $3 for everything, and it includes the iPad versions, the Creative Studio.

Yeah, so you're saving a ton of money if you're doing that.

But even the regular version that's $13 a month, if you are already paying the $5 for the iPad Final Cut and the $5 for the iPad Logic, that's $10, so it's an additional $3.

And the regular one.

To be fair, though, like Apple does not really have competitors to every Adobe app in terms of quality and professionalism.

Yeah.

You just, like, Pixelmator is Pixelmator, and it's really good for what it is, and they bought it.

Motion is horrible, yeah.

Motion is not After Effects.

Motion is not After Effects.

A lot of these are very, very, like, a lot of people use Logic Pro, so there's that.

But many of these are not true competitors to Adobe's App Suite.
