Adobe’s Creative Cloud suite is famously powerful - but it comes with a steep monthly price tag. The full “All Apps” plan (which includes the entire Adobe software collection) typically costs around $60-$70 per month when paid annually, and even more on a month-to-month basis. For years, savvy users found a workaround: using a VPN to subscribe via countries like Turkey, where Adobe’s regional pricing is dramatically lower. In the past, this trick let people pay only a fraction of the usual cost - some users managed to get the whole Creative Cloud for under $10 per month by appearing to be in a cheaper region.
However, Adobe has largely shut down this loophole. The subscription system now detects mismatched regions and often rejects foreign payment methods if you try to buy in another country’s store. Many who attempted the VPN method recently have seen their credit cards declined or even had their discounted accounts canceled by Adobe’s fraud prevention. In short, the old VPN trick doesn’t work anymore, leaving cost-conscious creators in search of a legitimate, hassle-free alternative.
GamsGo: An Affordable Adobe CC Alternative
I was excited to discover GamsGo, a platform that offers Adobe Creative Cloud “Pro” at a drastically reduced price - just $19.99 per month. GamsGo is essentially a subscription-sharing service that splits the cost of premium plans among multiple co-subscribers. In practice, it means you get an official Adobe subscription (with all the same apps and benefits) while paying only a small share of the price. From my own experience, GamsGo truly delivers on its promise. The service has already attracted hundreds of thousands of users worldwide looking to save money on software subscriptions. It’s a legal and secure setup - you’re not using any pirated software or violating Adobe’s terms.
Instead, GamsGo provides you with a dedicated Adobe account that has a valid Creative Cloud license, just as if you bought it yourself directly from Adobe. The big difference is you’re paying roughly 70% less: an Adobe “All Apps” subscription that normally runs about €67 per month in Europe comes out to only ~€20 per month through GamsGo (around $19.99 USD) - a huge savings. In my case, I was able to get the full Creative Cloud bundle via GamsGo and confirm that it worked on all my devices (PC and mobile) with cloud sync, just like a regular subscription.
So how can GamsGo offer such a low price while staying legitimate? Essentially, GamsGo leverages the idea of shared or group subscriptions in a safe way. It handles all the account management behind the scenes. You don’t have to share your personal Adobe login with strangers or do anything sketchy - GamsGo arranges the Adobe license on a backend account and grants you access to it in a way that feels no different than an individual subscription. The company emphasizes that all subscriptions provided are official and that the service is reliable and privacy-compliant. From my perspective, the process felt no different than subscribing normally - except my wallet wasn’t nearly as light afterward!
How to Get Adobe CC for $19.99 (Step-by-Step)
After testing it myself, I found the sign-up process on GamsGo very straightforward. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide based on my experience:
- Create a GamsGo account: Go to the GamsGo website and sign up for a free account. You can register with an email address or even use a Google/Facebook login. This takes only a minute.
- Select the Adobe plan: Once logged in, browse the list of subscriptions and find Adobe Creative Cloud. GamsGo typically offers an “All Apps” Creative Cloud plan (sometimes labeled as Creative Cloud Pro or an equivalent). Choose the subscription length that suits you - for example, one month at a time (great for flexibility) or a longer term for convenience.
- Pay the subscription fee: Proceed to checkout and pay the $19.99 (per month) fee. GamsGo supports standard payment methods (I paid by credit card; they also had options like PayPal or crypto in some regions). The transaction on my card was smooth and secure, and $19.99 was all I was charged for a month of Creative Cloud access.
- Activate your Adobe account: After payment, GamsGo needed the email of my Adobe ID to set up the subscription. In my GamsGo dashboard under the Adobe subscription, I entered the same email I use to log in to Adobe. Within a short time, GamsGo activated an official Adobe license on my account. In fact, I received confirmation and had full access to Creative Cloud in just a few minutes. There was no need for any VPN or tricky setup - GamsGo handled the license activation on the backend.
- Enjoy Creative Cloud: That’s it! I opened the Adobe Creative Cloud app, signed in with my Adobe ID, and all the applications were now available to install and use. I’ve been using Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere Pro through this GamsGo-arranged plan without any limitations. All the cloud features (like syncing files through Adobe cloud, fonts, libraries, etc.) work perfectly since this is a genuine Creative Cloud membership. If you need to manage, renew, or cancel the subscription, you can simply do it via your GamsGo account dashboard.
Overall, I was impressed with how hassle-free this was. GamsGo essentially acts as the middleman to provide a group/enterprise Adobe license for you, but the day-to-day usage feels 100% like you have an individual Adobe CC subscription. There’s no difference in the software functionality or available features. And if you ever run into any issues, GamsGo’s customer service is available (they advertise 24/7 support). In my trial of the service, I didn’t encounter any problems - everything was smooth.
What’s Included in Adobe Creative Cloud Pro
One of my biggest questions was whether the $19.99 GamsGo plan truly includes everything in “Creative Cloud Pro”. The answer is yes - you get the full Adobe Creative Cloud All Apps suite with all major applications and services. This includes industry-standard programs for virtually every creative field. For example, I have access to Photoshop (for image editing and graphics), Illustrator (vector design and illustration), InDesign (print and layout design), Premiere Pro (video editing), After Effects (motion graphics and VFX), Audition (audio editing), Animate (2D animation), Dreamweaver (web design), Adobe XD (UI/UX design), and Acrobat Pro (PDF editing), among others. In total, it’s 20+ applications - basically every app Adobe offers in the Creative Cloud bundle.
Niche tools like Character Animator (for animating puppets), Adobe Fresco (digital painting), Media Encoder (media conversion), and Bridge (media management) are also included. I was able to install and run any of these apps as needed, just as a full-paying subscriber would.
Beyond the apps themselves, the Creative Cloud Pro plan comes with all the extra features that Adobe provides to subscribers. This means you get cloud services and storage, fonts, and even Adobe’s new AI tools. For instance, my plan through GamsGo includes a generous amount of cloud storage (dozens of gigabytes to store files on Adobe’s cloud) and access to Adobe Fonts (hundreds of fonts you can use in your projects). It also unlocks Adobe Firefly, Adobe’s generative AI imaging tool, which is integrated into apps like Photoshop.
I have a monthly allotment of Firefly generative credits to use for creating AI-generated images and effects. Features like Adobe Portfolio (to create an online portfolio site) and Behance community access are part of the subscription as well. In short, nothing is missing - it truly is the complete Creative Cloud experience. I can confidently say that with GamsGo’s $19.99 plan, you’re getting everything from Adobe that a “Pro” subscriber would get if they paid full price, which makes it an incredible value for anyone who needs Adobe’s suite of apps.
