The finding is that Adobe publishes a real, numeric public plan for exactly ONE of its 23 API products — Acrobat/PDF Services. Everything else in the Adobe API estate (Firefly Services, Experience Platform, Analytics, Journey Optimizer, Target, Commerce, Workfront, Marketo, AEM, Cloud Manager) is entitled through an enterprise Creative Cloud or Experience Cloud contract with no published API price and no self-serve signup, which is recorded honestly below rather than filled in with a guess. tags: - Ai - Analytics - Automation - Commerce - Creative - Design - Documents - Experience - Marketing - Personalization - Video description: >- Published plans and pricing for the Adobe API surface. Only Adobe Acrobat Services (PDF Services, PDF Extract, PDF Accessibility Auto-Tag, Document Generation, Electronic Seal, PDF Embed) has a public self-serve plan; the rest of the estate is contract-priced. plans: - id: adobe-acrobat-services-free-tier name: Acrobat Services Free Tier type: freemium product: Adobe Acrobat Services (PDF Services API family) url: https://developer.adobe.com/document-services/pricing/main description: >- Free credentials created in the Adobe Developer Console.
