Some good alternatives on iOS: Canva, RAW Power, and VITA. And the Photos clean up feature.
Maybe adobe felt companies don’t have any other choice so they can get away with abusive terms and would be fine. For personal users it’s whatever.Just to lock-in new customers to a plan that has high early termination fees.
I feel like Adobe destroyed their loyal customer base
Different credit card is tough though I’d argue. But still possible.different email address, different credit card.
Not only that, the price goes up year after year. Even the student version of the subscription goes up prices through the roof after just 1 year. It’s highway robbery.At least it's for a year.
Many people seem to forget that the price will go up after the year is up.
The first time they bundled the apps together as a suite was back in the early 2000s.Adobe used to sell the complete suite for $299 for life. Now they charge twice as much for 1 year. Massively overpriced.

People still use Adobe ?Do people actually still pay for Adobe products? 💀
Some cards do have a feature where you can generate separate card numbers that get charged to the same card. It's designed for shady merchants you don't trustDifferent credit card is tough though I’d argue. But still possible.
Curious to hear how that works over time. My hunch is that they would track you whenever you go online with any of the Creative Cloud stuff active. Or do you just use that VPN 100% of the time?What I did when I subscribed was to find which country had the cheapest monthly subscription cost. So I created an Adobe account where I said I was in Turkey, and paid $5/month for Photoshop. I'd use my VPN to give me a Turkish IP address, and paid for the subscription using a credit card that didn't charge me a foreign transaction fee.
Huh? Which suite?
The Adobe Master Collection... which was all the Adobe apps... was $2,600 to purchase.
Hell... Photoshop by itself was $700 to purchase.
Yeah you could use them for the rest of your life without paying another dime... but then you'd be stuck using that same version for life. You'd never get any new features or improvements unless you paid for an upgrade.
The upgrade for Master Collection was $1,200 and the upgrade for Photoshop was $300... after you initially spent $2,600 or $700 upfront.
Fun fact... Adobe products were always expensive. They were for professionals who were making money... not casual users. Moms and dads weren't spending $700 for Photoshop or $2,600 for Master Collection.
Yes I know people hate subscriptions. BUT... I'd rather make smaller monthly payments and get continual updates... than spend $2,600 upfront and $1,200 every couple years for updates. And I do.
I was a former Adobe pirate. I learned Photoshop in college in the 90s and 2000s.
But as an adult I'm a happy subscriber to Adobe Creative Cloud. Because I make money with it.
