Adobe Creative Cloud price—how much is Adobe?

Adobe Creative Cloud is a collection of all Adobe software, including industry-standard apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere Pro.

While Adobe increases Creative Cloud prices almost every year, all the plans are still pretty affordable, considering you get professional-grade software. You can get single app plans starting at $21.99 per month, while the full suite costs about three times that, $54.99 per month.

There are also some bundles, such as Photography for $19.99 per month, and apps that are not included in the suite, like Substance and Adobe Stock. In this guide, I’m going to do my best to explain Adobe pricing to you, including the best discounts.

Adobe Creative Cloud price at a glance

In essence, there are three types of Adobe Creative Cloud plans: single-app plans, the Photography bundle (includes Photoshop and Lightroom), and All Apps, which includes every Creative Cloud program.

How much is Adobe All Apps?

All Apps is a Creative Cloud plan that includes over 20 photo, graphic design, and video editing apps—basically, almost all Adobe apps, except for Substance 3D and Adobe Stock. You also get 1,000 generative credits, Express Premium, 100GB of cloud storage, and access to Adobe Fonts.

The Creative Cloud All Apps costs $59.99 per month (with an annual commitment). If you opt for a month-to-month plan, the price goes up to $89.99 per month. If you prepay for a full year, the cost works out to $659.88 ($54.99 per month). There’s also a 7-day free trial (and 14 days for teams).

Adobe Creative Cloud price for students

All Apps is available in two different versions—for individuals and teams. There are also a few different discounts: student, yearly, and nonprofit.

The plan is also available for students at a discounted rate—$19.99 per month for the first year and $34.99 per month upon renewal.

Creative Cloud All Apps also comes in a version for teams, which gets a central admin dashboard that controls all software downloads and licenses. It’s slightly more expensive, and the pricing depends on the number of licenses—$89.99/mo per license.

How much do Creative Cloud single-app plans cost?

Single-app plans, on the other hand, are more affordable, ranging from $5 to $35 per month, but you get access to a single app instead of the entire Creative Cloud suite.

Like All Apps, most single-app plans come with 7-day free trials that allow you to test the app before committing, while a select few come with 30-day free trials.

How much is Creative Cloud for teams?

Team plans are available for up to 10 users, while larger teams need to contact customer support to get a custom plan. Team prices also scale with the number of users because you pay per license.

You can get single-app plans from $24 per month ($34.49 for most plans) per license or the All Apps plan for $90 per month per license. All team plans also come with 14-day free trials.

At this point, you may be asking why you should even buy a team plan when you can get multiple separate All Apps plans cheaper. It’s a fair question. As a team, you get a central admin console, 24/7 tech support, one-on-one expert sessions, free job postings on Adobe Talent, and Slack and Microsoft Teams integrations. These features make your work in a team easier and more manageable.

For more than 11 licenses, Adobe has Enterprise plans that, in addition to everything in the plans for teams, include a single sign-on, flexible purchasing options, unlimited downloads from Adobe Stock, and custom Firefly models.

How to cancel your Adobe Creative Cloud subscription?

You can cancel your trial or individual plan (purchased from Adobe) from your Adobe account page.

1. Go to the Adobe website and sign in with your Adobe ID and password.
2. Click Plans & Products to see your current subscriptions.
3. Click Manage plan to cancel your Adobe Creative Cloud subscription.
4. Scroll down and click Cancel plan.
5. Adobe will guide you through the cancellation process and explain why you’re canceling.
6. Review and confirm the cancellation.

Instead of canceling, you can pick a different plan, too.

Can you get a refund for Creative Cloud plans?

Before canceling your Adobe Creative Cloud subscription, it’s important to understand the refund policies that may apply to your situation:

• Monthly plan: You can cancel your monthly plan at any time without any cancellation fees, but no refunds are provided for monthly plans.
• Annual plan, paid monthly: If you cancel within the first 14 days of your subscription, you’ll receive a full refund. However, if you cancel after the first 14 days, you’ll be charged 50% of your remaining contract obligation.
• Annual plan, prepaid: If you cancel within the first 14 days of your subscription, you’ll receive a full refund. Unfortunately, no refunds are available for cancellations after the first 14 days.

What’s new with Creative Cloud pricing?

Adobe never rests and keeps adding new features and plans or changing prices (usually increasing them). Here are the latest highlights in regards to Creative Cloud prices:

• February 2025: Adobe announced upcoming Substance 3D 20% price increases on March 25th. Adobe also introduced the Firefly video model along with plans for Firefly subscriptions, Standard ($9.99/mo) and Pro ($29.99/mo).
• January 2025: Adobe removed the Photography (20GB) plan for new customers (you can still get it with a redemption code) and increased the prices for existing users while also increasing the price of the Lightroom plan.

Adobe Creative Cloud price: FAQs

I’m proud to say that I’ve dedicated the last decade of my creative career to learning Adobe software. There’s a lot I’ve learned along the way, including the ins and outs of Adobe’s pricing structure.

Here are some of the most common unanswered questions.

How much is Adobe for a year?

Adobe Creative Cloud All Apps costs $659.88 per year when you pay upfront or $22.99 per month when you pay in monthly installments. Single-app plans are cheaper, ranging from $120 to $265 per year, depending on the app included.

Is Adobe a one-time purchase?

No. Adobe has discontinued selling perpetual versions of Acrobat after Acrobat 2020. However, if you would like a non-subscription version of Acrobat, Acrobat Classic desktop software provides three years of paid access to Acrobat desktop and is available as a one-time, upfront purchase. It includes quarterly security updates but does not include Acrobat feature enhancements or access to premium Acrobat online services via your web browser and mobile devices.
