Looks like Adobe has temporarily whacked 40% off of its All Apps subscription.
If you’re considering the Adobe package, this is the time to get it. Previously, one app (say, just Illustrator) was $20/month, and the Photographers package (with Lightroom and Photoshop) was $10/month (though they were messing with that price also).
When I retired from the job where I had free full access to all Adobe products, I ripped off the bandaid and went Creative Cloud free. Now I’m very happy with Inkscape, Gimp, Pixelmator, iStudio, Wix, and a few other apps I was used to using. It took a bit of retooling my former Adobe habits, but I’m not looking back!!!
just to make sure nobody misunderstands, the $30/mo rate is for the first year only, you have to pay the first 12 months in advance, and then it bills at the regular rate monthly after that.
the article says some current users have reported on FB that they were able to call and get the rate for a year, but had to cancel and resubscribe. may try doing that later today. i can find a lot to do with that other $275.
I haven’t gone through the process but the screen shots show “Annual Plan paid monthly”.
Ok, I actually just clicked through. For whatever reason, the link in the article goes to the UK site, the US link is: https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/plans.html
You can either prepay for the year and it’s $360, or pay the monthly (but an annual commitment) for $30. If you cancel on the annual plan (but paid monthly), pretty sure you pay an ETF. So, same price for either plan on the annual commitment.
I’ve had this app for quite a while, too. I still find use for it, even though I use Affinity, regularly.
Saw the deal a couple days ago and decided to jump on it. My original plan was to go for CC on Black Friday when I expected to see pretty much the same deal. Because of other software upgrades, I was thinking I would need to be doing that by the fall time frame. So I can verify that you can indeed get the $30/month deal right now; I was only charged for one month at $29.99. With annual commitment.
I did get Affinity Designer half a year ago, based on your and @Jules likes, but by that time I was getting used to Inkscape and haven’t done much with Affinity yet at all.
Another helpful note is that if you have access to a .edu email address, or a relative/child who does, you can get everything for $20 a month.
Somehow a glitch caused me to keep my email address from my school from years ago, and it’s definitely paid off in software savings over the years =)
lucky. I was supposed to be able to keep my school .edu email address, but it was deleted almost immediately following my graduation. I lost a whole bunch of contacts b/c of that. Still salty.
