Adobe Creative Cloud Pay as You Go Using Disposable Cards

1 points by simbolo ↗ HN
I have rare uses where I need Photoshop, but I don't want to signup for a full Creative Cloud subscription.

Adobe only presents this as: * a full year paid upfront * a 12 month fixed 'contract' * a no commitment 30 day plan with a large price tag

If you cancel the 12 month contract, you are billed 50% of whatever the remaining charges are.

If a monthly payment is lapsed, after 30 days, the account is 'terminated'.

Has anyone ever got this far?

I'm considering using a disposable card number to just pay for one month, then letting it lapse.

If in the future I need again, paying for another month.

I'm not prepared to pay the astronomical non-commitment price for my use case.

That is exactly why I bought the Affinity Designer instead of Adobe Illustrator.

Gimp isn't so bad. Flash is dead, Director and authorware are long dead, free video editors are better than premiere. After effects is slower than blender. Alternatives to adobe are pretty good at this time.

As a lightroom person; I hope I’m not missing out on something extrodinary using a ~2 year old off-line version.
