Specifically, there are three separate deals on Creative Cloud All Apps for Black Friday this year: one for Individuals, one for Students and Teachers, and one for Business. Starting with Individuals, you can get this subscription for $39.99/month, down from $54.99/month ($479.88/year billed upfront, down from $599.88/year).

Additionally, Businesses can get Creative Cloud All Apps for $59.99/month, down from $84.99/month; and Students and Teachers can get the platform for just $15.99/month, down from $54.99/month.

Adobe's Creative Cloud platform is a collection of more than 20 desktop and mobile apps that provide services for photography, design, video, and more. This includes Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Acrobat Pro, and many more. Your subscription to Creative Cloud All Apps grants you access to each of these apps.

Of course it is not as robust as Adobe products and I'm sure that pros laugh at it. But it has been more than enough for my needs and it is non-subscription based.

All of their apps on all platforms for less than $100.

Or you can pay 100.- for an universal license (Mac+iPad+Windows) of Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher to replace Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop/InDesign if you only occasionally need to do design work and don't want to pay every month for a subscription. 😉💸 https://affinity.serif.com/

Affinity is awesome! And they just came out with a new version.

But if you only need two apps, that brings your total to $40+ already. So $39.99/month for all the apps is a better deal.

That said, it's still too expensive for non-professionals. They are better off using free apps or Affinity suite.

They're not just better off using free/"alternative" apps. You can get Adobe stuff on sale way cheaper than this. A lot of photo/video software goes on sale for way cheaper than this. Capture One, DaVinci Resolve, etc. If you can time your buys (which is what Black Friday is all about) you can do way better than this even if you need professional grade software.

Unfortunately competitors to After Effects still have a long way to go. Thankfully most Adobe users who make money from their work have their software paid for or written off. But I won't give Adobe any money myself without super strong reluctance so long as this is still a thing:

Two tiers for Acrobat? Higher prices for tiers without commitment is worse than porn subscriptions. Also, $13/m with a commitment should be a crime for PDF functions. Like I get that Adobe made the file format and want to steer CC sub adoption but come on. We should have legislation step in here!

Implying that half the actual "professionals" aren't just gonna pirate it at that rate. It's too expensive for pros or non-pros.
 
I need an Affinity version of After Effects and then I can bail. It needs to support as many AE plugins as it can. Fusion did a decent job doing that, so it is possible.

Simply get Davinci Resolve and an old CS6 for the plugins!
Also a great license type and affordable!

Same. I upgraded from V1. It's worth it to support such an amazing alternative. Given that you can use all of the apps on Mac, iPadOS, and Windows, it feels like a steal.

I did this deal last year as I have been using my old Creative Suite 5.5 bundle in a macOS VM, but as I moved off of Intel to Apple Silicon, that was no longer an option.

But now that I have to pay the "full rate", I moved to Affinity since I only occasionally need these apps and it was less than two months of the full Creative Suite subscription price (most of which I never touched).

10 Years from now it'll be $99+/mo for this. I believe money for upgrades should be earned, not guaranteed for a developer. If you provide an update with amazing stability, less bugs, and incredible new features, you should get a nice upgrade fee for it. Constant income monthly, while I get why they switched to it, I don't believe will be sustainable unless they consistently increase the monthly sub fee.

Affinity is a great option for those who don't rely on Creative Suite for work! Great choice.

Well, I think, by adding a bit of flexibility it's easy to get away from Adobe.

After Effects and Premiere was always the worst Video Editing and Compositing Software you could ever get.
Pro's used to LMAO about the ones who threw After FX and Premiere into the discussion.

Fusion, Combustion, Toxit, Smoke, Avid DS, Shake, Flame, Flint and Inferno, NUKE, Davinci were always the better alternatives.

/memories I used all of them!

Are you suggesting I "sideload" their apps on my Mac? Is that even safe to do? /s
