Adobe Lightroom Mobile plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | 3 | Entry tier |
| Creative Cloud Photography plan | $9.99/month | 3 | +$9.99/month, 3 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

What the product covers
The full Adobe Lightroom Mobile feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.

- Presets
- Local editing without subscription
- Cloud sync (subscription required)
- AI-based masking and select tools (subscription required)
People bring Adobe Lightroom Mobile in for a mobile photographer wanting raw editing on a phone without paying for a subscription, and not needing cross-device sync, an existing creative cloud photography subscriber wanting their desktop lightroom edits available on mobile, someone shooting raw directly in the app for maximum editing latitude versus a standard jpeg capture, a photographer testing lightroom mobile tools before deciding whether to commit to the paid subscription for the full desktop and cloud workflow. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Adobe Lightroom Mobile are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Photography
Too few photography tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Before you pay for Adobe Lightroom Mobile
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 2 tiers between Free and $9.99/month, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Adobe Lightroom Mobile runs on ios, android, and is published by Adobe Inc. of San Jose, California, United States. The full record is on the Adobe Lightroom Mobile review, and the rest of the category is under best photography tools.
