It can be a little confusing figuring out how expensive FL Studio is, because it comes in four different editions, from the entry-level to the most deluxe edition. FL Studio Fruity Edition ($99) does not allow audio recording and comes with the smallest selection of audio and effect native plug-ins. FL Studio Producer Edition ($199) adds audio recording and six additional plug-ins. The FL Studio Signature Bundle ($299) adds another 13 plug-ins on top of the previous editions. Finally, the FL Studio All Plugins Edition ($499) includes all the available features and plug-ins. Also, you can get a version of FL Studio software when you buy certain hardware controllers, such as the very handy and portable Akai Fire. Fortunately, all the different FL Studio editions come with lifetime updates, and can always be upgraded from lower to higher tiers.
