Hello, I want to start a new freelance graphic design business, but I just need 4 design software: Indesign, photoshop, illustrator, and acrobat. Why can't I have a plan just for these? As I understand, I'll be needing to buy a plan for all the software to save money, or buy each and spend a lot. What am I to do? Thanks

The all-apps plan has been designed and priced for users using at least 3 apps, as studies at the time and according to Adobe showed that the standard user uses 3 apps.

 

Just calculate the fees:

  • The cheapest option for Photoshop is the Photography plan (LrC+Ps, but nobody forces you to use LrC): $10/month. This is a special bundle and a bargain for photographers.
  • All others have single app plans for $20.99
  • Acrobat is special in that sense that Acrobat DC costs only $14.99

 

Now calculate and choose the options that will help you the most.

 

All have a commitment for a year. You may also get commitments on the month for some programs. They are more expensive, but can be cancelled each moment.
