Adobe subscriptions could cost a little more starting this month, and the company is implementing a long-promised pricing change.
Previously, the graphic design software giant confirmed that a price increase would occur from November 2023 in Europe and America. Online communities are now suggesting that those price changes are starting to roll out, with Africa, Asia and Australia next coming on March 5, 2024.
The price change will affect most Creative Cloud and Creative Cloud All Apps plans for individuals, teams, and businesses. It's not all bad news, however, as members get access to free Adobe design tools as part of their subscription.
What are the pricing changes for Adobe Creative Cloud?
Price increases are coming around the world for a wide range of Adobe CC and CC All Apps plans. But to sweeten the deal, all subscriptions now include the AI-powered art generator Firefly and the lightweight online design app Adobe Express.
For standalone app subscriptions, monthly plans billed annually cost between $2 and $22.99; monthly plans increase by $3; Annual plans increase by $24.
Similarly, for Creative Cloud All Apps users, an annual billed monthly plan increases from $5 to $59.99; monthly plans increase by $7.50; Annual plans see a $60 increase.
However, some business plans are exempt, including the Creative Cloud Photography plan, All Apps plans for education, and Adobe Acrobat plans. Adobe's full list can be seen here.
Aligning prices between territories can also prevent users from purchasing in countries where subscriptions are cheaper due to the exchange rate. Two days ago, a user on a UK discussion board revealed the contents of an email purportedly from Adobe, which read: “You purchased your subscription using Lebanon as the country of purchase. However, its subscription has been predominantly used in Great Britain. In order to continue using your subscription, you will need to subscribe at the current price for Great Britain.”
Current subscriptions will renew once the new pricing goes into effect in each region, so members don't have to do anything.
