Adobe

Adobe makes the software most of the creative industry runs on — Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, InDesign, Acrobat, and the Creative Cloud suite that bundles them, plus Adobe Express and Adobe Stock. It was founded in 1982 by John Warnock and Charles Geschke and is headquartered in San Jose, California.

Creative Cloud single apps cost roughly $23 per month, and the All Apps plan runs to about $60 per month on an annual commitment. Adobe Express has a free tier, and Adobe Stock is sold separately by credit pack or subscription.

The affiliate program pays generously on the first payment rather than recurring: commonly 85% of the first month on Creative Cloud and Document Cloud monthly subscriptions, with annual plans paying a percentage of the first year instead. Published effective rates vary widely by product and region — anywhere from roughly 6% to 64% per sale — so check the rate card for the specific products you plan to promote.

Adobe retains Partnerize to run tracking, reporting, and commission payments. The cookie window is 30 days. Eligible products include Creative Cloud single apps and All Apps, Document Cloud, Adobe Express subscriptions, and Adobe Stock.
