The product could be a bit cheaper to attract younger audiences but on the other hand, you do get a full professional package to create to your mind's content. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for.

There are many individual programs out there that can do similar design outcomes like GIMP that are free, but you will not get the ease of use and a full array of product versatility within Adobe Creative Suite.

Go for subscription billing, as pay as you use.
