Let’s say you want to use Photoshop CS5 but don’t want to shell out $999 to buy it. \u00a0Would $69 or $49 sound better? \u00a0If so, you’ll soon be able to rent titles from Adobe Creative Suite, like Photoshop, for those prices on a month-to-month basis.<\/p>\n
The way it works is like any other month-to-month subscription plan. \u00a0You sign-up. \u00a0You download the software. \u00a0Then every 30 days Adobe will ding your credit card for the monthly fee. \u00a0If your card is declined for whatever reason (or if you cancel), the software stops working.<\/p>\n
Adobe will offer both month-to-month plans and lower priced yearly plans, billed monthly. \u00a0For example, the regular month-to-month plan with Photoshop will cost $69 a month. \u00a0But on the yearly subscription, billed monthly, the cost would be $49 a month. \u00a0You can rent all titles from Adobe Creative Suite this way…like After Effects, Premiere Pro, Dreamweaver…and each has their own individual pricing.<\/p>\n
But it’s not a rent-to-own model. \u00a0If you were to rent After Effects for 12-months (at a cost of $588\/$49 a month) then decided you wanted to buy it, you’d still need to pay the $999 sticker price. \u00a0And for 12-month plans you can’t prepay for the entire year…you must pay monthly.<\/p>\n
