Does it have a price? The last time I checked it was free.

OTOH, I don't see many professionals trusting Apple software in the long run (ex. Final Cut).

It's only free to the original buyer of a new Mac since something like 4 - 5 years ago. If you've never bought a new Mac and registered it with your Apple ID, it's not free.

I always thought it was free too, but learned otherwise recently from a colleague battling with it.
