Adobe this week is offering first-time subscribers of the Adobe Creative Cloud All Apps plan a 40 percent discount on the service. With this sale, you'll pay $35.99 per month for the plan, down from $59.99 per month, and this price will last through your first year.

You can also choose to pay for the entire year upfront at the price of $395.93 per year, down from $659.88 per year. After your first year ends, your subscription will automatically renew at the standard rate unless you change or cancel the subscription. This sale ends May 12.



When signing up for Creative Cloud All Apps, you gain access to more than 20 creative apps, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, After Effects, InDesign, and Acrobat. You also get templates, cloud storage, and thousands of Adobe Fonts.

These programs can be subscribed to individually as well for a monthly fee, and many are also seeing 40 percent discounts this week. You can get individual subscriptions to apps including Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Illustrator for $13.79 per month for your first six months (originally $22.99 per month).

A LOT of times during these sales you can chat in and get them to adjust your existing contract if you're not paying this rate. And then most likely during the month of November/Black Friday they will drop it down to their $29.99 price.
 
If you plan to pay for an annual subscription, be aware that if you cancel your subscription before the year ends, your access to the Adobe suite of programs ends immediately, and you get no money back. Similarly, if you choose a 12-month subscription with monthly payment, you will be charged the full price of the remaining months the moment you cancel, and you will still lose access to the programs immediately.
That's how Adobe does it 🤷‍♂️

That's why I don't subscribe to Adobe. Period. I had experienced that and said NO MORE. ONE TIME IS ALL IT TAKES.

For many people, it's not so much the price, but the subscription model.
If you switch to a competitor, you lose the ability to continue using most of your creative work that was created using Adobe software, even though it is stored locally.

Adobe could easily offer two models: subscriptions and one-time purchases.
But they are well aware that they are prison guards, and they like it.

To the subscribers: Better an end with horror than horror without end.

I don’t know different it is these days, but a few years ago when I used the free trial of adobe, the only way to cancel was to speak to a customer rep over live chat who spent literally an hour offering progressively better deals all while I kept copy pasting “I do not want to stay, please stop offering me deals and cancel my trial” to his every message. This was in a Europe too.

Question for the experts who make use of the Adobe suite everyday for their work:
Is it actually reasonable to pay around 600 dollars a year for the service?

When I cancelled, Adobe informed me that a 2-month cancellation fee applies.

Did not realize that Pixelmator Pro can read my Illustrator files (CD-covers, labels). One-time purchase is the way to go. And the ResolvePro is a joy to use comparing to Premiere Pro, found bugs but (as individual purchase) there is no way to report bugs: support via call-center in India is clueless.

Adobe has horrible admin features for tracking users usage (for obvious reasons). They don’t want companies to know who’s not using the apps or hasn’t logged in for x period of time. That being said your company is also to blame for not doing (at least) monthly audits on terminated users.

Is that a form of harassment of the customer?

That's micromanagement on a whole different level. Wow...
