Adobe Creative Cloud costs between ~$22.99/month for a single app (like Photoshop) and ~$59.99/month for the All Apps plan with 20+ applications in 2026. Students and teachers get a steep discount (~$19.99/mo for All Apps), and annual-prepaid plans are cheaper than monthly. Here's what each plan actually includes so you don't overpay.
The main plans (2026)
| Plan | ~Price/mo | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Single App (e.g., Photoshop) | ~$22.99 | One app of your choice |
| Photography Plan | ~$19.99 | Photoshop + Lightroom + 1 TB storage |
| All Apps | ~$59.99 | 20+ apps (Ps, Ai, Pr, Ae, Id, Acrobat…) |
| All Apps — Students/Teachers | ~$19.99 | Same as All Apps, education discount |
Prices shown are for annual plans paid monthly. Month-to-month (no commitment) costs more, and annual prepaid is the cheapest per month.
What's in All Apps
The flagship plan unlocks the entire suite: Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, After Effects, InDesign, Lightroom, Acrobat Pro, Audition, Dimension, and more — plus 100 GB of cloud storage, Adobe Fonts and Adobe Express. For anyone using 3+ Adobe apps, All Apps beats buying them individually (3 single-app plans would cost ~$69/mo).
Which plan fits you
- Photographers: the Photography Plan (~$19.99/mo) is the best value Adobe offers — Photoshop + Lightroom.
- Designers who use one tool: a Single App plan (~$22.99/mo) if you truly only need Photoshop or Illustrator.
- Video editors / multi-discipline creatives: All Apps — Premiere + After Effects + Photoshop alone justifies it.
- Students/teachers: the education discount (~$19.99/mo for All Apps) is exceptional — verify with a school email.
How to pay less
Commit to annual billing (monthly is pricier), grab the student discount if eligible, or buy from a reputable reseller. DigitalTools sells Adobe Creative Cloud subscriptions at below-retail pricing with instant activation — often cheaper than Adobe's own promotional rates.
