6 d. ago Adobe announces massive price hike for subscriptions in Canada

Adobe is sending out emails to Canadians who subscribe to the Photography plan letting them know that the price is going up to $22.59 per month.In an email, Adobe warned users that their plan would go up from $14.68 to $22.59 on their next renewal date.This is a legacy plan that only includes 20GB of storage. The price increases may vary depending on how much storage is included in your subscription.Therefore, this is still cheaper than what's advertised on Adobe's website. The plan that Adobe offers now includes 1TB of storage and costs $25.99 per month. To me, this seems like Adobe is moving up its subscriptions for legacy customers to try and entice them to spend a little more for the 1TB option.
