- Free plan
- No free Creative Cloud plan is listed on the plans page. Adobe says you can cancel within 14 days for a full refund.
Adobe's special offers and plans pages showed 50% off the first 3 months of Creative Cloud Pro (US$34.99/mo, then US$69.99/mo, 12-month commitment, new US subscribers only) and US$19.99/mo for the first year for students and teachers. Neither is labelled Black Friday or Cyber Monday, so we do not count it as the 2026 sale.
Best for
Designers, photographers and video editors who already work in Photoshop, Illustrator or Premiere and want generative AI inside those apps.
Watch out for
Adobe's discounts cover the first months or first year of a 12-month commitment, then renew at the full price, currently US$69.99/mo for Creative Cloud Pro.
Our 2025 record has Adobe taking 40% to 50% off the first year of an annual plan for new subscribers during the Black Friday season. Adobe is unusual in that it often runs a promotion all year, and November is when it gets deeper or longer rather than when it starts. This year the baseline is already 50% off, but only for three months of Creative Cloud Pro. A Black Friday offer worth waiting for would have to beat that, for example by covering the full first year. If Adobe swaps the current offer for a Black Friday one, we will update this page with the terms from Adobe's own offer page.

If generative AI is the main reason you are looking, compare Firefly plans first: Firefly Standard is US$9.99/mo for 2,000 credits and Firefly Pro is US$19.99/mo for 4,000 credits with Photoshop on web and mobile included. That can be far cheaper than Creative Cloud Pro at US$69.99/mo. Students and teachers can get Creative Cloud Pro for US$19.99/mo for the first year. The Photography plan at US$19.99/mo covers Photoshop, Lightroom and 1TB of storage if photo editing is all you need from the apps.

Firefly plan or full Creative Cloud: pick before you shop
Adobe now sells its AI two ways. Firefly plans are credit bundles for generating images, video and audio, starting at US$9.99/mo for 2,000 credits and going to US$199.99/mo for 50,000 credits with unlimited Firefly Video model access. Creative Cloud plans are the desktop apps, with Firefly features built into Photoshop, Illustrator and Premiere.
If you mostly want to generate assets, a Firefly plan is the cheaper buy and a Black Friday discount on Creative Cloud Pro may not matter to you. If you edit, retouch or lay out work in Adobe's apps every day, Creative Cloud Pro is the plan a November discount usually targets.
What generative credits mean for your bill
Generative features in Firefly, Photoshop and Illustrator spend generative credits, which Adobe includes in many Creative Cloud plans and sells more of through the Firefly plans. Video generation and premium models use credits much faster than a single generative fill in Photoshop.
- Firefly Standard: 2,000 credits for US$9.99/mo.
- Firefly Pro: 4,000 credits for US$19.99/mo.
- Firefly Pro Plus: 10,000 credits for US$49.99/mo.
If you hit your allowance often, moving up a Firefly tier can cost less than paying for Creative Cloud Pro just to get more credits.
The 3-month offer running before Black Friday
On November 9 Adobe's special offers page listed Creative Cloud Pro at US$34.99/mo for the first 3 months, then US$69.99/mo. The terms require a 12-month commitment, apply to first-time US subscribers buying direct from Adobe, and renew at the then-current price. Over a year that saves three months of half-price billing, not the year-long discount Adobe has offered in past Novembers.
