How Much Does Premiere Pro Cost in 2026? Plans, Yearly Totals and Cheaper Options
Premiere Pro is only sold by subscription. Here’s what it costs per month, per year and over five years in 2026, and what you can buy once instead.
Premiere Pro prices in 2026
- Annual plan, billed monthly: $22.99 a month, or $275.88 a year. It’s a 12-month commitment.
- Month to month: $34.49 a month, or $413.88 if you keep it all year. Cancel any time.
- No one-time purchase. Adobe has sold Premiere Pro only by subscription since 2013. Stop paying and you lose access to the app.
At $22.99 a month, U.S. price in October 2026, before tax.
What the subscription includes
You get Premiere Pro itself plus Adobe extras such as cloud storage and fonts. After Effects, Photoshop and Audition aren’t included; for those you need a bigger Creative Cloud plan.

Is Premiere Pro worth it?
If clients send you Premiere projects, you work in an Adobe team or you live in After Effects, the subscription pays for itself. If you edit your own videos, a free or one-time editor will usually do everything you need, and keep doing it without a monthly bill.
