What Is The Difference Between The Pro Apps And Other iZotope Apps
If you are looking at this with a view to going for the new MPS Pro subscription then you might be wondering if the ‘Pro’ versions are better or newer than the existing perpetual versions. Check out this table to see how they compare…
You will see as this is a music-focused package that you get the Advanced version of Ozone and Neutron, but the Standard version of RX, in the Pro Subscription bundle from iZotope.
What Is The Difference Between The Subscription And Perpetual Bundles
The ‘Pro’ label indicates the subscription version of an iZotope product. ‘Pro’ products will be receiving additional features and updates over time, which will be available to you as long as you subscribe.
Check out this table to see how the new Music Production Suite Pro at $24.99 per month compares with the iZotope Music Production Suite 4, with a perpetual license, priced at $999…
Is It Worth It?
Looking at this table, the Pro subscriptions versions of the software appear to the same, with the exception of updates, with the subscription model you get all software updates included at no additional cost, whereas, with the perpetual Music Production Suite 4, you would have to purchase new versions of products in the future if you want the latest updates.
The main differences are in the services offered, they are offering a priority customer care route for subscribers, who also will get exclusive content and training resources, not available to perpetual customers.
When it comes to software, Stutter Edit 2, and the R4 and Nimbus Exponential Audio plugins that are in the Music Production Suite 4 are not included in the Music Production Suite Pro.
With a monthly subscription of $24.99, it will take 3 years and 4 months before you will have paid more. Over that time, based on iZotope’s track record, there will have been at least one paid upgrade for each of the component software tools, the combined cost of which could take you up to a 5-year payback and that it without considering the additional upgrade in that period and the value of the additional training and support resources.
How To Get The iZotope Music Production Suite Pro
There are two pricing options. You can either pay $24.99 per month or $249.90 per year.
The first option is to sign up for a 7-day free trial. Your trial ends 7 days after your date of sign-up $24.99/month membership is charged after the trial ends.
There is a limit of one trial per person and the offer only applies to a Monthly membership, but there is no reason why you cannot move to an annual subscription option later if you would prefer to do that.
Finally, the included updates only apply to iZotope plug-ins in paid membership. You cannot use Pro subscription versions with a perpetual license.
