Adobe messages to 43rumors and says $10 plan is still available…

Adobe sent me this message

Hi there- Sorry for any misinformation. We haven’t changed the standard 20GB Photography plan, it’s still available here: adobe.ly/2Y5WxT3 or via phone at 1-800-585-0774 We’re just currently testing photography plans with higher levels of storage. ^RR

Still I find it odd they removed the info from their official Adobe’s pricing page. Doesn’t give me much confidence that they will keep the $10 basic plan alive in the long-term….

Adobe doubles the price of the basic plan from $10 to $20 per month :(

PetaPixel just reported that Adobe did double the fee of the Basic plan from $10/month to $20/month (see Adobe’s new pricing here).

If you like me are no fan of subscription based Adobe service check out those two alternatives:

  1. Capture One (Click here) for $299. This is a highly professional alternative and the RAW editor is famous to be the best in the world.
  2. A cheaper alterniative is Luminar 3.1 (Click here). Using our coupon code “AMB43R” you save additional $10 at checkout!

UPDATE. Adobe just said that their $10 plan is still available (Click here):
