I finally need to purchase the Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom bundle. Is it better to do the monthly or, the yearly subscription? I assume purchasing from Adobe is best.

Any insight here before I make a purchase?

Thanks!

Yearly. This avoids interruptions if your CC is ever compromised.

Your choice should be dictated by your wallet.

Long term Adobe customer here, for purchase, I would go directly to Adobe. Why pay a middle man.

As for monthly vs yearly, I think it was said above, first it depends on your wallet. If you committed to learning the software and starting with them then the yearly probably makes sense. If you think you want to try it for a while before committing, then got monthly.

There's a free trial, but it's only for seven days

The plan is for a year, billed monthly.

Annual or monthly payment plans are available.
Are you saying that when paying monthly an annual contract is still required? I'm asking because I don't know. I pay annually so as not to have to bother paying every month.

The subscription is annual, whether you pay monthly or yearly.

I do it by the month. I also do it on autopay. With this plan they update me all the time with the latest stuff.

$9.99/month times 12 equals $119.88 total, same as one-time annual fee. Easier to budget for some folks since income is probably also monthly.

I have 3 PSE plans,18, 21, and 23, each bought separately from Adobe...No updates, but free technical help.

I have been using Photoshop Elements for almost 20 years and it is still has more capability than I can see needing for my photography work, a hobbyist and casual exhibitor in local photography venues and contests. You buy it outright and use it till you need more than it can provide (which limit I have not reached) or until your OS doesn’t play well with it (or vice versa). Less than a year’s subscription to full Photoshop and good for many years.

As opposed to being granted a license to use it...

I have an annual membership but pay monthly in case for some reason I need to terminate the subscription. Not sure if you get a refund if you pay an annual fee and cancel.
