Request: A Design Premium plan bundle.

Recalling the old Creative Suite days, I'd be great to have a $30/month plan bundle that includes:

  • Photoshop
  • Illustrator
  • InDesign
  • Acrobat Pro

 

I just feel like the All App plan is overkill. Anyone else agree?

I think we're beating a dead horse here.

I'd say most pros use 3-4 items from all apps. It's tempting to see all apps as overkill, but it's just simpler for Adobe to sell you 3-4 subscriptions in a bundle with all the others. It's still a great deal compared to getting the apps singly.

 

Only hobbyists are likely to make much use of more than 4 apps, ironically.

I agree that it's a fair suggestion although this has been suggested many times over the years since the Creative Cloud was first introduced. Nothing has ever come of it.

 

Adobe's pricing structure has always worked out that the Single App plan is good if you only ever need one or a maximum of two apps.

 

For everything else, the All Apps plan is the best deal.

 

Seems to me that introducing a mid-tier $30/month plan like you're proposing would compromise sales of the All Apps pan which is why I don't see it happening.

 

Bear in mind also that everyone will have their preferred bundle of their favourite apps for $30/month so there would have to be several different versions of these bundles. That disappeared when Creative Suites ended 10 years ago. Again, I don't see it happening since All Apps gives us access to everything.

No, I don't agree.  Adobe offers two deeply discounted bundles.

1. The Photography Plan ($10/month for 5 mobile, desktop apps + services)

2. The ALL Apps Plan ($53/month for 51 mobile, desktop apps + services)

 

Or you can subscribe à la carte which comes to significantly more per app than the ALL APPS plan. 

  • Photoshop only for $22/month
  • Illustrator only for $22/month
  • InDesign only for $22/month
  • Acrobat Pro only for $15/month

 

Your choice.
