Adobe Creativecloud hikes Stock 33% to $39.99 adding AI-powered edits
What happened
Between the Nov 11, 2025 and Mar 30, 2026 captures of Adobe's pricing page, Pulse recorded 2 changes: Acrobat Standard price increased from US$12.99/mo to US$14.99/mo (annual billing), a 15.4% increase; Adobe Stock renamed to Adobe Stock with AI edits and repriced from US$29.99/mo to US$39.99/mo; now includes AI-powered image editing before licensing from 900 million assets. Pulse files it as a pricing change (price increase, plan renamed) with an upward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Nov 9, 2026) lists InCopy at $4.99, Acrobat Express at $9.99, Adobe Firefly Standard at $9.99, Adobe Express Premium at $9.99 and Lightroom at $11.99.
This quarterly roll-up includes 2 changes Pulse first recorded in a shorter period: "Adobe Creativecloud hikes Stock plan 33% to $39.99 with AI editing tools" (week of Mar 23, 2026, saved Mar 30, 2026) and "Adobe Creativecloud ends 40% promo, clarifies Firefly AI tier structure" (week of Jan 26, 2026, saved Feb 8, 2026). It also records changes none of those periods did (price increase), so Pulse counts it as a change of its own. Before that, Adobe's previous recorded change was "Adobe Creativecloud Introduces Acrobat Studio Plan at $24.99/mo, Bundling AI Tools with Adobe Express Premium" (Q3 2025). Adobe has been tracked since 2024-11-17.
