I was in the exact same situation an felt frustrated by the increased cost. Seemed to me that buying in bulk should cost less, not more!
To us the real advantage of teams is the centralized billing. Though you can't really add/subtract seats quickly, if you add a seat you need to pay for the rest of the year for that seat or pay a pro rated penalty.
Even in teams you have to create individual email accounts for each seat which was also bizarre since we have multiple freelancers rotating thru workstations as needed.
In the end we connected with a local adobe reseller who was able to get us on board a 40% discount adobe was offering on teams, which was great. Then we setup an email alias for each account that forwards to me: cc1@, cc2@, cc3@, etc. We share a Google spreadsheet tracking which seats are activated on which workstation.

So I am finally getting my voice heard and the CC conversation is on the table. Confusion is arising with the plan explanations on the Adobe site. What's the advantage of team? It looks as if it's ten dollars cheaper to go with multiple individual plans versus team at $30. Am I missing something? Or is it due to the extra storage and cloud frills offered in team. Which are not needed for us. We just want the software. :)
