Adobe LR and PS getting more expensive in 2025 worldwide or just in US?

[Architeuthis]

It seems that the Adobe standard photography subscription (LR&PS plus 20 GB cloud storage) will raise from 9,99$/month to 14,99$/month, starting from January 2025. The annual subscription stays constant at 119$/year, therefore one should change to annual subscription: https://www.dpreview.com/news/5008248286/adobe-photoshop-lightroom-monthly-plan-price-increase-december-2024

 

I live in Austria/Europe and since ever pay 11,99 Euro/month (annual subscription is almost the same with 143,14 Euro/year). When I look at the Adobe homepage, I still see the old pricing there...

 

=> Does someone know, whether the price increase is happening also outside US (=should one change to annual subscription also in EU)?

 

 

Thanks, Wolfgang

The price increase occurs on Jan 15, 2025.  That is why the current (old) prices are still showing today.  I do not know if it will be a global price increase, but I would not be surprised.

 

As a reminder, the increase only pertains to those who pay monthly.  I just switched to a 1-time annual payment which remains at the same as the current price.

Since the monthly vs. annual payment price is more or less the same, I am not sure that there will be an increase of the monthly rate also here in Austria. As often, there is no official information by Adobe available up to now (except the info about prices in $$, but there the cheaper monthly rate is just adjusted to match the annual rate)...😟

I’d say that was a good move.  I prefered paying monthly, but all things considered it’s not a major deal breaker to do the single payment.

Yep.

Adobe announced 3 weeks ago a monthly price increase in Europe starting from jan15th up to 18€ per month for the LR+PS bundle (meaning a 50% increase!).

That said the yearly price will remain around 144€.
