Paying way more than I use.

Adobe,
I only use Online Adobe Express and Lightroom Classic, and paying 54.99 a month, so expensive! Are there any solutions to just pay for these two only?

Thank you,
Scott Slone

Hi scottslone, 

I understand how overwhelming the current plan cost can feel, especially if you’re only using a few apps.

If you’re mainly using Lightroom Classic and Adobe Express, you may want to switch from the Creative Cloud standard plan (US$54.99/month) to a more suitable option. This can help reduce your monthly cost while still letting you use the tools you need.

You can consider these:

  • Lightroom 1TB plan (US$11.99/month) or the Photography plan (US$19.99/month)
  • Add Adobe Express Premium (US$9.99/month) if you need its advanced features

This combination can be much lighter on your pocket and still cover your usage.

To change your plan, you can follow the steps in this article:https://helpx.adobe.com/account/individual/subscriptions-and-plans/plan-changes-and-upgrades/change-adobe-plan.html

If anything feels unclear while making the change, the support team can guide you through it. You’re not alone in this, and I hope this helps you find a plan that works better for you.

 

Thanks,
