## Plans

| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Billing | Notes | Source |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Premiere Elements 2026 | not priced monthly | — | flat | One-time payment of US$99.99 with no monthly option, so monthlyUsd is null. The catch a buyer will be caught by: this is NOT a perpetual licence despite the one-time framing — Adobe describes a '3-year term license' and states it is 'non-renewing — it expires 3 years after redemption'. Averaged over the term that is about $2.78 a month, but access stops at the end of year three and you buy again. | adobe.com |
| Premiere Elements 2026 + Photoshop Elements 2026 bundle | not priced monthly | — | flat | One-time payment of US$149.99 for both applications, saving $50 against buying them separately at $99.99 each. Same non-renewing 3-year term licence, so monthlyUsd is null. | adobe.com |
| Upgrade pricing | not priced monthly | — | flat | One-time US$79.99 to upgrade Premiere Elements alone, or US$119.99 for the bundle upgrade. Students and teachers are quoted US$79.99. Available to existing Elements owners only, and the upgraded licence carries the same non-renewing 3-year term. | adobe.com |

Provenance: adobe.com/products/premiere-elements.html re-fetched on 2026-09-10. Every figure confirmed: US$99.99 for Premiere Elements 2026, US$149.99 for the Photoshop Elements bundle, US$79.99 upgrade for Premiere Elements alone, US$119.99 bundle upgrade, US$79.99 for students and teachers, and a 'free, full-featured 7-day trial'. The draft's central correction also held on re-fetch and is the most important thing on this record: Adobe frames this as 'a one-time purchase with no additional fees' but the same page calls it a '3-year term license' and states 'the license is non-renewing — it expires 3 years after redemption'. It is therefore recorded as a term licence, not a perpetual one, and monthlyUsd is null throughout since no monthly billing is offered. This is Premiere ELEMENTS, a distinct consumer product, not Premiere Pro.
