Okay, free trials don't really count as Adobe Creative Cloud discounts, but they provide an excellent opportunity to try out the different software before you buy.

Adobe's Creative Cloud apps are among the best software for their respective creative disciplines and are well worth paying for. Many of the Adobe Creative Cloud apps require a subscription, so any discount is always worth taking advantage of. It's worth noting that many deals only apply to first-time subscribers and may be limited to certain territories, so make sure to check the terms and conditions before you buy.
If you're not sure you want a subscription, you could also consider other software, for example Serif's offerings, where you pay a one-off fee rather than signing up to a subscription. See our Photoshop alternatives and Illustrator alternatives for an idea of what else is available.
