How to Get Adobe Dreamweaver for Free & Cheap

Dreamweaver, Adobe's web-design program, is one of their more expensive tools at $23/month. For many of us, that is simply too expensive for a single subscription. 

Thankfully, there are numerous ways to get Dreamweaver cheaply, or even for free, with one of my favorite online side hustles. 

Use the Student & Teacher Discount 

To start with, the simplest discount you may be eligible for, Adobe offer students and educators a significant discount on Creative Cloud (which includers Dreamweaver). If you are eligible, you only have to pay $19.99/month for the first year and $34.99/month after that.

If applying as a student, you must be at least 13 years of age and enrolled in one of the following:

You can apply for the Student & Teacher discount here. You will need to provide either a school ID card, report card, transcript, or tuition bill.

Use Freecash to fund your Dreamweaver subscription 

On Freecash you can earn money for completing fun tasks online, like testing new games. You can then cash out via PayPal or bank transfer, and use this money to get Dreamweaver for free.

Getting started is super simple, and only takes about two minutes: 

The average user makes over $35 a day, with top earners racing to make $5,000 monthly!

Whether you want to play a strategy game or answer interesting surveys, Freecash is the best way to fund your Dreamweaver subscription.

Buy a Dreamweaver license from a 3rd Party 

If you are willing to sacrifice cloud-based functionalities, you can buy a one-year license to Dreamweaver from as little as $40. Dozens of 3rd-party software sites sell 1-year access keys to Dreamweaver, but the version they provide cannot access cloud features.   

Of course, if you are buying Dreamweaver specifically for those cloud-based features like generative AI, you will need to subscribe through Adobe directly. But remember, buying a year's subscription with Adobe costs about $260, so really think about what you will be doing with the program.

Extend the free trial with the money-back guarantee 

It’s possible to stretch the 7-day Dreamweaver trial into a full three weeks of access.

This approach gives you nearly three weeks of usage by making a single payment, then cancelling in time to get your money back.

While not a permanent solution, this method can buy you some extra time to complete a project or test features without spending anything in the end.
