【2026】Adobe Lightroom Classic Plans and Pricing, Offers and Discounts

Lightroom Classic is a desktop-based tool designed for organizing, editing, and developing photos.

Compared to Lightroom (Cross-device version), it offers more professional-grade performance, featuring advanced image editing controls and extensive preset capabilities.

There are four subscription plans available for using Adobe Lightroom Classic.

Lightroom Classic is not available as a single-app plan.

However, any plan that includes Lightroom also provides access to Lightroom Classic.

If you plan to use other Adobe apps alongside Lightroom and Photoshop, consider subscribing to the Creative Cloud Standard or Pro plans.

Adobe now uses a subscription-based model for all its plans.

While Lightroom Classic isn’t available as a one-time purchase, you’ll always have the latest version with free updates.

There are four ways to get Adobe Lightroom Classic at a lower cost;

Let’s take a closer look at each of these options.

The Lightroom single-app plan is more affordable than other single-app plans, such as Photoshop.

If you don't plan on using any Adobe apps other than Lightroom, the Lightroom single-app plan is your cheapest option.

You can save even more on the Lightroom plan by paying annually instead of monthly.

Choose the annual payment to get the best deal.

The Photography Plan is a great value option that includes both Lightroom and Photoshop.

By paying just a little more than the Lightroom single-app plan, you can get access to Photoshop as well.

There are no functional limitations, and it’s priced to be a great deal whenever you buy.

With the Photography Plan, you get 1TB (1,000GB) of storage — the same as the Lightroom single-app plan — so you can use it without any worries about storage limits.

Adobe occasionally holds limited-time sales, offering various plans at discounted prices.

The Lightroom single-app plan and the Photography Plan are excluded from these sales, so their prices remain the same even during sale periods.

These discounts are primarily for new users who wish to subscribe to "Creative Cloud Pro",  which provides access to all Adobe Creative Cloud apps, including Lightroom.

Discount rates vary depending on the sale or campaign.

These offers are only available to first-time subscribers.

The student plan offers the highest savings, letting you use the service for less than half the regular price.

But it only applies to Creative Cloud Pro.

Adobe offers a discount for students and teachers, allowing access to the Creative Cloud Pro plan at 64% off.

There are no feature limitations, so students and educators should take full advantage of this exclusive benefit.
