Adobe Creative Cloud Plans?

I currently pay $69.99 a month (about $75 after taxes) for Adobe Creative Cloud Pro.

I really only use Animate, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere Pro and Media Encoder.

I was comparing plans online and saw the Creative Cloud Standard version for about $54.99 a month.

I went to switch plans, but then went back to double-check that it offered the same apps, and then the Standard version disappeared.

It does not come up as an option I can switch to now.

Does anyone have some advice or info on what happened? Thanks.

It’s adobe. I’m sure they have figured out a way to make it within a mm of the tax code.

You should find a way to hook up with an education account. I pay $20. ( however, I am a teacher ) But still. Their pricing is bullshit. So much AI bloat that no one normal is remotely asking for.

Can you access this link directly? https://www.adobe.com/it/creativecloud/standard.html
It also includes a table showing what each version comes with.

They bait new customers with a lower price, maybe thats the price you saw. So if you try to cancel your plan they will offer that price.

Idk I was signed into my acct and have been a member for 3 yrs. I went to "compare plans" and it showed Pro which I have now, and I typed in "Standard" and it appeared but then vanished like it didnt exist when I went back to see its apps menu

It’s mostly the same apps (definitely the ones you listed). It doesn’t include AI tokens.

I don't care about AI tokens 😂 i dont even see how that could be a selling point

Well, not everyone likes the same things you do, right? To each their own.

I do a lot of clean up and fixes and spot sound effects gen with Firefly. I definitely need the tokens.

Cancel. They will try to retain you and offer you a discount. I just did this a few weeks ago. Saving ~$40/mo.

That really works?

Indeed it did. Give it a try.

That's crazy. I literally signed in from the Chrome browser on my phone and went to cancel.

It just said "click continue to lose access to all of your apps and your Adobe portfolio" with no other message.

I clicked continue anyway, and it came up with "Pay $0 for the next 3 months! 90 days on us! Accept offer?"

I clicked yes and now I'm saving like $200+ this year lmao

thanks for the advice!
