Norway - High price on creative cloud, 110$ for personal plan

[Tom37179927rusz]

The Norwegian prices for personal plan of Creative cloud is astronomical, 110$!

Because the goverment has alot of money doesnt mean regular ppl have money to squander!

Most people have jobs paying 50-70k a year, not like hundreds of k's like US!

With 40% tax and expensive housing disposable income is between 1 and 1.5K$

Why charge an uheard of 10% of disposable income for private plans, the same price as buisniss plans!

In US the plan cost 60$ a month and they generally have more disposable income, this would be the equivalent of charging US citicens 180$ for the sub....

Yes I have gotten the local site with local prices, and I complained about them being too high. Since noone know the amount in Norwegian krone is I have converted the currency to US dollar. Pls reread org post.

The $60 in the US are without taxes, I suppose that yours are with taxes. I suppose also that your prices are not in $ but in your local currency. And as a general fact (it's not an oppinion), prices outside of the USA are higher then domestic prices. That is true for all goods, including Adobe software. In Euroland, prices are about 10% higher nowadays, because Adobe uses the conversion of $1 = 1€, even that it is today 0.93€ and during the last 20 years, it was nearer to 0.8 then 1.

I just checked the website. What prices do you have in NOK?

The price I found is NOK 725,00/md. inkl. MVA.Which makes aproximative $67, which is far from the price you are claiming. 

BTW: even that many hobbyists are using a creative cloud subscription, it is a tool for professionals. And professionals deduct the cost from their income, as it is a cost for doing business. I would not say that this is not diminishing the net income. It's just probably a small cost factor compared to others (office rent for example) and it's the tool that makes it possible for you to acquire customers.

Ty. Seems the price is US price + bad exchange rate + 25% salestax.

The price your using is 12Month minimum lockinn, the pay as you go is 1088Nok or 101$.

Too risky for a 12mnt and too expencive for a monthly for me, especially since my main interest was Character animation only.

Bye!
