Pricing Issues Reported by Users
Why is Adobe XD so expensive? Creative Cloud price hike
XD can't be bought on its own, so keeping access to old XD files means keeping a Creative Cloud bundle. In June 2025 Adobe renamed All Apps to Creative Cloud Pro and raised the annual-billed-monthly price from $59.99 to $69.99 (month-to-month $104.99), mostly for AI credits XD users don't need. New users report XD is not offered to them at all.
No standalone purchase available
Adobe XD is no longer available as a standalone product and requires a Creative Cloud subscription. The cheapest access is through Creative Cloud Standard at $54.99/month or Pro at $69.99/month. For users who only need XD, this represents poor value compared to Figma's free tier or other alternatives.
50% early termination fee for cancellation
Adobe charges a 50% early termination fee if you cancel your annual subscription before the term ends. For example, canceling in month 9 means paying 50% of the remaining 3 months. This aggressive cancellation policy locks users into commitments even when the product no longer meets their needs.
