The latter option might work for you if you only need InDesign temporarily.Īlternatively, if you want to use other Adobe products alongside InDesign, then a Creative Cloud subscription (here’s the UK page) offers access to a wide range of Adobe software, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro and Acrobat Pro. There’s also the option to have a rolling monthly subscription, where you can cancel at any time, but that costs more: $31.49/£30.34 per month. (That’s $251.88/£239.64 in total.) If you’re prepared to pay up front for the whole year, then it costs a little less: $239.88/£238.42. That’s the good part of the subscription approach.Īt time of writing, the standalone cost for InDesign is $20.99/£19.97 per month if you sign up for a year-long subscription. If this sounds a little daunting, you might be reassured to hear that the software does get regular updates, and any new features are immediately added to your version of InDesign.

Gone are the days when you could pick up a boxed copy of the software and have it for years now Adobe insists upon a monthly charge. If you want ongoing use of the full version of the software, you’ll need to sign up to one of Adobe’s various subscription tiers for Creative Cloud.
