Just want to give a bit of warning about Adobe’s shady plan practices.

I use Photoshop and occasionally Lightroom, and I pay €9.99/month for the photography plan.

On top of that, I sometimes need Illustrator, and then I’m paying about €35 per month for Illustrator.

Now I wanted to just get some stock photos for a client project, so I got into a €29.99 plan for Adobe Stock thinking I could cancel it when I didn’t need it.

Two months later I tried to cancel. Monthly means monthly, right?

Not in Adobe’s world. Unfortunately, Adobe’s shady practices secretly put me onto some kind of year plan, where if I cancelled when I didn’t need it, which is right now, I had to pay a fine of 134 euros.

With Figma releasing their draw features and me being so pissed off about this, I immediately also cancelled my Illustrator plan. For which I apparently also needed to pay a 55 euros “fine”.

I paid both fines and my long-term trust in Adobe has completely sinked.

I hope to run an Adobe free agency because this is really not cool.
