What is Ableton Live?
Ableton Live is a music-making program used for producing, recording and live performance. It comes in three editions, Intro, Standard and Suite, so it suits beginners who want an affordable start as well as producers who want the full device and sound library.
How pricing works
You buy a one-time licence for an edition and can upgrade later to a bigger edition or a newer version. Ableton also offers rent-to-own monthly plans for the Suite. Regular Live 12 prices in euros are 79 (Intro), 279 (Standard) and 599 (Suite).
The 2026 sale
Ableton's own shop shows a sale that started on November 10, 2026: 20% off Live 12, and anyone who buys Live 12 during the offer gets a free upgrade to the matching edition of Live 13 when it is released in early 2027. Push 3, Move and the Push upgrade kit are 20% off only until November 30, 2026. The discount cannot be combined with education or multi-licence discounts.
