Adobe is renowned for its range of creative software. As a term, Photoshop has become almost synonymous with photo editing, while we’ve seen Premiere Pro and After Effects used in major film projects like the first Deadpool, David Fincher’s Gone Girl and the Daniels’ Everything Everywhere All at Once – the latter of which won Best Film Editing at the 95th Academy Awards.
These programs are part of a broader software suite known as the Adobe Creative Cloud, which covers a range of fields such as photography, videography and graphic design. With over 20 program subscriptions available, if you have a creative need, then this comprehensive collection of software should have the answer for you.
Here’s everything included in the Adobe Creative Cloud, from the available apps to how much it’ll cost you.

Are there any free trials?
While the individual Adobe apps don’t include a free trial, if you cancel your subscription within 14 days you’ll receive a full refund for the service.
The Creative Cloud All Apps plan comes with a seven-day free trial and, if you cancel your subscription within 14 days, you won’t be charged.
You can also opt-in to add a free 30-day trial of Adobe Stock to the All Apps service and almost all of the single plans. The subscriptions excluded from this trial offer are Adobe Express, Firefly, AI Assistant for Acrobat, the Substance 3D collections and Adobe Stock itself. Once that 30-day period has elapsed, you’ll be charged the standard rate of $39.59 per month.
If you’re a qualified student or teacher, there’s a specific discount available for you that’ll let you save over 70 per cent off the Creative Cloud All Apps plan. You’re able to get the free seven-day trial for the Creative Cloud All Apps plan, after which you’ll be paying $21.99 per month for your first year. The price of your plan will increase to $50.99 per month after that first year ends. You can check your eligibility for the student and teacher discount here.
Adobe offers subscriptions for business as well, where a Creative Cloud All Apps plan will set you back $128.99 per month per licence.
