Much as I dislike Adobe for moving this way, some of the comments on that page are misleading in themselves.

"Tiny grey text" - it's not that tiny if I can read it from the thumbnail provided.

"Really hard to read" - dark grey on white isn't hard to read. It's easier to read than the "summary" line of a HN comment (runnerup 10 minutes ago | parent | context | flag | on: FTC cracks down on hard to cancel subscription of ...)

And they do state up front before you click buttons to move forward "after 7 days, a fee will be charged to cancel", etc.

I think it's _onerous_ to charge a "50% of balance" cancelation fee, and excessive, but not fraudulent.

And not hard to cancel. Just onerous.



They shouldn't be using monthly price marketing and language when they don't actually offer a monthly plan. It's intentionally misleading, and I cannot find any other SaaS or tool that uses this kind of misleading marketing or pricing mechanics.


What? They absolutely do offer monthly plans. They _default_ to an Annual plan, which is described in two flavors, "Annual plan", and "Annual plan, paid monthly", but they absolutely do offer straight monthly plans:

https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/plans.html - any click on the "Plans and pricing details" would show that.


You overlooked the part that it's a one-year minimum commitment, which was by design.
