And that's the problem with the subscription business model. Once you're in - you're in. You can always enroll in your local Community College to become a "perpetual student" for the discount.

Well, for a start, how about I quoted my price in Canadian dollars, not U.S. dollars. Big difference.

Do you have the regular individual photo license (just LR, LRC and PS)? I thought that is staying unchanged. The URL you posted appears to be for business plans?

Umm…my Canadian photo plan is about 1/2 what you pay. Why are you paying so much?

We hope you are enjoying Creative Cloud. We want to share an important update about your subscription price.

The price of Photoshop is increasing, changing from CAD $311.88/year to CAD $389.63/year (inclusive of applicable taxes/VAT/GST) on your next renewal date.

Your subscription will renew automatically on 18-November-2023 (PT), and you will be charged the new subscription price annually. Your subscription will automatically renew annually until you cancel (price subject to change). You may cancel at any time via Adobe Account or Customer Support.

Since there were a few features in my package that I was not using, I downgraded to package below:

It is more a question of the present declining trend of the CAD vs. USD. Than a price increase.

For you, but not for Adobe. 😉

But it would not surprise me if we would see a general price increase due to the exceptional inflation.

Oct. 1, 2022 $1CAD = .72US

Oct. 1, 2023 $1CAD = .736US

Price increase for both me and Adobe. Bet you will see Adobe increase prices worldwide in the next year.

I just got a notice from Adobe for renewal of my Photography Plan for next year. The price will remain the same, $9.99 per month for USA. It is remarkable that Adobe hasn't increased the price at all since they first moved to the subscription model years ago.

I was an ardent "nay-sayer" back in the whole "must update" debacle. I expected and projected Adobe to raise their prices to $12 or $15 / month within 3-5 years. Here we are more than a decade later, and nope ... no increase (on the Photographer Plan).

McDonalds has raised their prices. My insurance premiums have gone up. Bread, milk and hamburger all up. Gas is up, Netflix is up, and the list goes on.

So ... even if they do (I don't want them to), I don't think a reasonable understanding of inflation can argue with a modest increase. Folks all thought they were gonna gouge us badly. From what I can see of the Photography Plan ... they have not done that.

That said, if someone wants to read the forward looking statements in SEC documents for Adobe, there may be some discussion regarding the number of subscriptions (i.e. increasing, tapering, etc.) as it relates to their revenue stream, and whether or not they see that as stable, or they forecast a need (to their investors) to raise prices on subscription(s).

But, at present ... $9.99 has been rock steady throughout the life of their PP subscription model. Really ... that should be

in comparison to what the rest of the world has been doing to the Joe Average Consumer. Now, if they've raised their pricing on some of their more professional oriented services ... (i.e. B2B-ish), I think that gets looked at in a different light. But, the masses of consumers were worried, and their fears didn't come to fruition of their concern.

Yup ... I was wrong.

Yes, 10 years without a price increase is unheard of for any service anywhere. Let's hope that the increase, when it comes, is modest.

If you use DXO Photo Labs, any time you get a newly released camera after they come out with a new version of the software, you have to buy the new program. In my case the files from the A7Cii and R won't work in DXO PL 6. But I updated my LR the other day and voila.

Pros and cons to each option, I suppose.
