Why Adobe Creative Cloud got more expensive
In June 2025 Adobe renamed its All Apps plan "Creative Cloud Pro" and raised the annual-billed-monthly price from $59.99 to $69.99, about a 16.7% increase, charged at each subscriber’s next renewal on or after June 17, 2025 in North America.
Adobe tied the increase to expanded generative-AI features: the Pro plan includes a larger allotment of Firefly credits for AI image and video generation across Photoshop, Premiere and the rest of the suite. As with Microsoft 365, AI bundling is the stated reason a long-stable subscription went up.
Adobe locks many users into annual contracts with early-termination fees, so the renewal increase can be hard to escape and easy to miss. Tracking your actual charge is the first step to deciding whether to downgrade or switch.
If the All Apps price has outgrown what you use, the cheaper routes are real. Most people only need one or two apps, and Adobe sells single-app plans (around $22.99/month each) and the Photography plan (Lightroom plus Photoshop, around $19.99/month) for a fraction of the suite price. Paying the annual plan upfront rather than annual-billed-monthly also trims the cost, and for some workflows one-time-purchase rivals like Affinity, or free tools like DaVinci Resolve and GIMP, remove the subscription entirely. With Adobe leaning on AI to justify increases, expect the suite price to keep drifting up.
