The main difference between Adobe Creative Cloud and standalone Adobe software is the pricing and licensing model. Adobe Creative Cloud is a subscription-based service that gives users access to all of Adobe's creative software, including Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, and Premiere Pro. Standalone Adobe software is purchased on a perpetual license basis, meaning that users pay a one-time fee to own the software indefinitely.

Another key difference is that Adobe Creative Cloud users always have access to the latest versions of Adobe's software. Standalone Adobe software users must purchase upgrades separately.

Here is a table that summarizes the key differences between Adobe Creative Cloud and standalone Adobe software:

Feature Adobe Creative Cloud Standalone Adobe software

Pricing and licensing model Subscription-based Perpetual license

Access to software All Adobe creative software Individual Adobe software applications

Software updates Free updates to the latest versions Upgrades must be purchased separately

Collaboration tools Yes No

Cloud storage Yes No

Which option is right for you depends on your individual needs and budget. If you need access to all of Adobe's creative software and want to be sure you always have the latest versions, then Adobe Creative Cloud is a good option. If you only need one or two Adobe software applications and are willing to pay a higher upfront cost, then standalone Adobe software may be a better option.

Here are some additional things to consider when choosing between Adobe Creative Cloud and standalone Adobe software:

Your budget: Adobe Creative Cloud subscriptions can be expensive, especially if you choose the All Apps plan. Standalone Adobe software applications are typically less expensive than a Creative Cloud subscription, but you will need to pay for upgrades separately.

Your software needs: If you only need one or two Adobe software applications, then standalone Adobe software may be a better option. However, if you need access to all of Adobe's creative software, then Adobe Creative Cloud is the only option.

Your workflow: If you collaborate with other people on creative projects, then Adobe Creative Cloud may be a better option, as it includes collaboration tools. Standalone Adobe software applications do not include collaboration tools.

If you are still unsure which option is right for you, you can try Adobe Creative Cloud for free for 7 days. This will give you a chance to experiment with all of Adobe's creative software and see if it is a good fit for your needs.

The main difference between these two subscriptions is the number of programs included. You have access to all 20+ Adobe Creative Suite programs with the Creative Cloud All Apps subscription. The Adobe Photography plan only includes Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, and Photoshop.
