I'm going to cancel my subscription too. I'm tired of paying exorbitant fees month after month. $72.99 a month? From $52.99? I don't see inflation at that level.

I received the notification that our subscription rate will go from $49.99 to $79.99. Your "modest increase" is 60%. Would you take a "modest decrease" of 60% to your salary? This is exactly what I predicted Adobe would do with software as a service after killing off all of the competition. We only use Photoshop/Indesign/Illustrator and could care less about all of the other apps that we're basically forced to pay for, it's just like cable TV.

William, are you in North America and do you have a Teams membership?

If so, then you may have originally signed up when there was a 30% off promotion for your first year(s), to $49.99.

The regular Teams price is now moving from $69.99 to $79.99.

Here is more information on Adobe's pricing adjustments in North America (the first in six years):

I'm with you.

My subscription isn't increasing that much, but as a one-man small business, $50/ month is already insanely expensive for products that I barely scratch the surface of their potential use. There are other products available for free that can do what I need, I just prefer Adobe since I have a basic understanding of how it works.

This feels like a complete money grab that doesn't take into account the little guy. It seems that they are only looking at the bottom line.

Greed is a hell of a drug.

Yeah it's a money grab.

The software satisfied my needs years ago and anything Adobe adds to it now doesn't benefit me. Sometimes it's even a step back - Dreamweaver for example. I don't use the current version because it's terrible.

I understand that converting to subscription based was a good business move since - like I said this software satisfied my needs years ago - so I probably wouldn't bother upgrading and Adobe wouldn't make any money. But having said that - users that aren't benefitting from the updates, like me, won't like paying more.

So, I think this increase will cause a lot of users to start looking elsewhere.

But I have a question... This page says I should be paying $49.99/month now and it's going up to $52.99 but I'm already paying $52.49/month and have been for over four years. What's up with that?

MacUser – guessing that state & local taxes are added, unless you are exempt.

Hi,

What country or geography are you in, and which plan do you have?

How long have you had your subscription, and did you receive any initial promotional pricing which may be expiring?

Note that it's also possible to avoid the increase entirely:
