Unfortunately, Premiere Pro has only a 7-day trial period, and there will be substantial early cancellation fees for terminating a subscription. The default subscription is an annual plan paid monthly, meaning that you will be committed to a one-year term, with you being billed every month. If you terminate the one-year plan paid monthly early, you will be ordered to pay a termination fee that's half of what you would have paid for all of the unused remaining months of that one-year subscription. However, there is a 14-day total grace period in which you may cancel a subscription without penalty, effective from the date that a trial gets converted to a paid subscription; you must cancel within those first 14 days in order to circumvent the fee, and you will be credited the payment that you initially paid for that subscription.
If you want to do this, then you must select the monthly subscription manually when you order your subscription. This will already cost you 50% more than what you would have paid each month had you signed up for a one-year commitment. So, instead of $21 plus tax for the default subscription, the monthly plan will cost you $31.50 plus tax - right off the bat. (And this is just for the single-app plan.)
So, if you were to stick with the default subscription plan, used it for one month and then canceled the plan within the second month, you would have to pay more than $150 for your one-month use of Premiere Pro - $42 plus taxes for the two months of an active subscription (since subscription cancellations do not become effective until the end of the month that you initiated the cancellation), plus an additional $105 plus taxes for the 10 unused months.
Premiere Elements, on the other hand, is a one-time purchase. No subscription is required for that program.
