How to Get Adobe Dreamweaver for Free & Cheap

Dreamweaver, Adobe's web design program, costs $23.00 per month. For many users, that's too expensive for a single subscription.

Several ways exist to get Dreamweaver at a lower cost or for free.

Use the Student and Teacher Discount

Adobe offers students and educators a significant discount on Creative Cloud, which includes Dreamweaver. Eligible users pay $19.99 per month for the first year and $34.99 per month after that.

Students must be at least 13 years old and enrolled in one of the following:

• University or college
• Primary or secondary school
• Homeschool, as defined by state homeschooling regulations

Apply for the Student and Teacher discount with a school ID, report card, transcript, or tuition bill.

Use Freecash to Fund Your Dreamweaver Subscription

Freecash pays users for completing tasks online — including testing new mobile games — with earnings withdrawable via PayPal or bank transfer. Those earnings can cover a Dreamweaver subscription directly.

Getting started takes about two minutes:

• Join Freecash or log in with Google, Facebook, or Steam.
• Choose from 45.400 offers and complete the listed tasks.
• Withdraw earnings using a preferred cashout method.

Freecash supports a range of earning methods — game offers, surveys, app installs — making it a flexible way to cover a recurring subscription like Dreamweaver each month.

Buy a Dreamweaver License from a Third Party

Third-party software sites sell one-year access keys to Dreamweaver from around $40.00. These versions don't include cloud-based features, so they suit users who need the core program without generative AI or Creative Cloud integration.

Subscribing directly through Adobe costs around $260.00 per year. Anyone who needs cloud features has to go that route, but users who don't should weigh whether the price difference justifies it.

Extend the Free Trial with the Money-Back Guarantee

The 7-day Dreamweaver trial can be stretched to nearly three weeks using Adobe's refund policy. Activate the trial, purchase a one-month subscription on day eight, then cancel by day 20 to qualify for a full refund.

This method costs nothing in the end and works well for completing a short project or testing features before committing to a subscription.
