Adobe's 'Annual, Paid Monthly' plan appears to be a monthly subscription but is actually a 12-month commitment. Canceling early incurs a 50% fee on remaining months. The FTC sued Adobe in June 2024 over these deceptive practices, citing hidden terms buried in fine print and behind optional text boxes.
Adobe eliminated perpetual licenses, forcing subscription payments. At $22.99/month (annual) or $34.49/month-to-month, costs accumulate to $275-$414/year indefinitely. Users report feeling trapped with no option to buy outright, unlike competitors like Affinity Designer at $69.99 one-time.
