The short version

  • Only Logic Pro has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Logic Pro requires macOS 15.6 or later and a Mac with Apple silicon, so it will not run on an Intel Mac or on Windows at all; Planoly the free mobile app tier is limited to 10 uploads per month, too low for active accounts.

Planoly
