A new subscription with Photoshop + Illustrator

I am an illustrator, I barely use anything apart from Photoshop and Illustrator, but if I just hire these two I better pay for a complete Creative Cloud subscription. Everybody knows we can’t afford it. So, why not making discounts over buying subscriptions of 2 or more apps? Just an idea.

I rely entirely on Photoshop and Illustrator, and a combined subscription for these two apps would be the most accurate fit for how many long‑time 2D users work. A $20/month structure for both would be fair and consistent with Adobe’s recent promotional pricing.

Exactly!!! if there is a photographer bundle, why not an illustrator bundle?
I think that maybe is just marketing strategy, you know… why to pay for 2 if you can have it all for 15 bucks more?…

I totally agree!
A graphic designer needs three apps: PS+AI+ID
I downloaded AE and PR once, just to try them out, but I keep paying for them for no reason.

Your screenshot shows Photoshop + Lightroom. Adobe does not offer a Photoshop + Illustrator plan.

 

​@Na525 

What many do in your situation is to subscribe to the Photography plan (shown in kglad’s post) plus a single-app subscription to Illustrator.

Your other choice is to subscribe to the Creative Cloud Pro plan if you need another one or two apps, such as Acrobat or InDesign.
