Adobe Creative Cloud Individual Plans
1. Creative Cloud All Apps — Individual
The All Apps plan gives you access to every Adobe Creative Cloud application — Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Acrobat Pro, Lightroom, InDesign, Audition, Animate, XD, Dreamweaver, Adobe Express, Adobe Firefly web and more.
Approximate pricing:
- Annual plan, billed monthly: ~₹3,276/month
- Monthly plan (no annual commitment): ~₹4,150/month
- Annual plan, billed upfront: lower per-month rate
What's included:
- All 20+ Creative Cloud desktop applications
- 100 GB of cloud storage
- Adobe Fonts (25,000+ typefaces)
- Adobe Portfolio website builder
- Firefly generative AI credits monthly
- Adobe Stock trial (10 free images)
- Access on up to 2 devices simultaneously
Who should choose this plan: Designers, video editors, motion graphics professionals, and anyone who uses or plans to use more than one Adobe application. If you currently pay for two or more single apps, this plan saves money immediately.
2. Photography Plan — 20 GB
The Photography Plan is Adobe's best-value plan for photographers.
Approximate pricing:
- ₹1,050/month (annual billing)
What's included:
- Adobe Photoshop (desktop + web + iPad)
- Adobe Lightroom (cloud-based photo editing)
- Adobe Lightroom Classic (desktop catalogue management)
- 20 GB cloud storage
- Firefly AI credits
Who should choose this plan: Freelance photographers, wedding photographers, and portrait studios who primarily need Photoshop and Lightroom. The combined value vs. buying them separately (₹1,675/mo each) makes this the clear choice for photography-focused users.
3. Photography Plan — 1 TB
The same as the 20 GB Photography Plan but with 1 terabyte of cloud storage — essential for photographers who shoot RAW files in large volumes.
Approximate pricing:
- ~₹1,675/month (annual billing)
Who should choose this plan: Event photographers, travel photographers and studios that store large volumes of RAW files and want them cloud-backed and accessible from any device.
4. Single App Plan
Get one Creative Cloud application of your choice — Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Acrobat Pro, Lightroom, InDesign, Audition or any other single app.
Approximate pricing:
- ₹1,675/month (annual billing) for most apps
- ₹931/month for Acrobat Standard (fewer features)
What's included:
- One CC app of your choice
- 100 GB cloud storage
- Adobe Fonts
- Firefly AI credits (limited)
- Works on up to 2 devices
When single app makes sense: If you only need one application and have no plans to expand to others, the single-app plan is the economical choice. However, note that the All Apps plan gives you 20+ apps for approximately double the price — making it significantly better value if you use even two apps.
5. Student & Teacher Plan
Adobe offers a significantly discounted Creative Cloud All Apps plan for verified students and teachers.
Approximate pricing:
- ~₹2,450/month (all apps, verified students/teachers)
- ₹398.99/month (introductory offer for new subscribers — check availability)
Eligibility: Valid student or teacher ID from an accredited educational institution in India. Verification is done through Adobe's SheerID verification system.
Who qualifies: Students of any age at accredited institutions, teachers and faculty at schools, colleges and universities. Cloudfy Systems can help educational institutions verify eligibility and manage bulk student licensing.
Adobe Creative Cloud Teams Plans
The Teams plan is designed for businesses purchasing 2 or more licences. It adds an admin console, centralised licence management, 1 TB storage per user (pooled), priority support and brand asset management features.
Teams — All Apps
Approximate pricing:
- ₹5,810/user/month (annual billing) → ₹69,720/user/year + GST
- ₹6,675/user/month (monthly billing, no annual commitment)
What Teams adds over Individual:
- Admin Console — add, remove, reassign licences without calling Adobe
- 1 TB cloud storage per user (pooled at organisation level)
- Centralised Creative Cloud Libraries — share brand assets across the team
- Share for Review — collaborative feedback without app installation
- 180-day extended version history for cloud documents
- Priority 24/7 technical support
- Adobe Express Premium for all users
Who should choose Teams: Any business with 2 or more users who need Creative Cloud. The admin console alone saves significant time managing licences across a team.
Teams — Single App
Approximate pricing:
- ₹2,720/user/month (annual billing)
One Creative Cloud application for multiple users — same admin console and priority support as the All Apps Teams plan.
Adobe Acrobat Pro — Standalone Pricing
Adobe Acrobat Pro is also sold as a standalone product outside of Creative Cloud:
| Plan | Price |
|---|---|
| Acrobat Pro Individual | ~₹1,675/month (annual) |
| Acrobat Standard Individual | ~₹931/month (annual) |
| Acrobat Pro Teams | ~₹23,864/year per user + GST |
Note: Acrobat Pro is included free in the Creative Cloud All Apps plan. If you need both CC apps and Acrobat, the All Apps plan is more cost-effective than buying them separately.
Adobe Stock Pricing (Add-On)
Adobe Stock is available as an add-on to Creative Cloud subscriptions:
| Plan | Images | Approx. Price |
|---|---|---|
| 10 standard images/mo | 10 per month | ~₹1,530/month |
| 40 standard images/mo | 40 per month | ~₹3,975/month |
| Extended licence | Per image | Custom |
Adobe Stock images are also available for purchase individually. All CC plans include a trial pack of free stock images.
All Apps vs. Single App — Which Is Better Value?
Let's compare the cost of buying 3 single apps vs. the All Apps plan:
| Scenario | Monthly Cost |
|---|---|
| Photoshop (single) | ₹1,675 |
| Illustrator (single) | ₹1,675 |
| Premiere Pro (single) | ₹1,675 |
| 3 single apps total | ₹5,025/month |
| All Apps plan (annual) | ~₹3,276/month |
| You save | ₹1,749/month = ₹20,988/year |
The conclusion is clear: if you use any 2-3 Adobe apps, the All Apps plan is significantly more economical and gives you 17+ additional apps at no extra cost.
Photography Plan vs. All Apps — Which Should Photographers Choose?
For photographers who use only Photoshop and Lightroom, the Photography Plan (₹1,050/mo) is the right choice — you pay less and get exactly what you need.
If you also do graphic design (Illustrator, InDesign), video editing (Premiere Pro) or need Acrobat Pro for client contracts, the All Apps plan gives you everything for ~₹3,276/mo — a worthwhile upgrade.
