I feel like it's maybe a tad too expensive, and I wish they would break it out into app groups. I don't use any of the web apps, and it feels like I am paying for them, therefore I feel a bit cheated. But software is all Adobe makes (I think, at least...) So it's their only source of income. Apple makes more money by selling the computers/devices, so they can afford to price their software lower. I think that's why we are seeing such a difference in the pricing between the two companies. > > Also, to maybe make a bit more of a fair comparison between Adobe and Apple apps, you would add Logic Pro X and Aperature to your price. (And that still wouldn't include high-end color grading, web development, or Photoshop and Illustrator replacements.) However, the nice thing about that is you don't have to buy them if you don't need them. And you only need to buy them once. And it doesn't appear they are going to charge for updates. > > My 2ΒΆ. > > Brian Klein > >> On May 17, 2014, at 12:04 PM, Jim Curtis <jpcurtis@me.com> wrote: >> >> I knew the first year was an introductory rate, but I got notice today my monthly rate was going to increase to $49.99/mo. from $29.99. >> >> That's a pretty steep hike.

After all, you can still buy a permanent license of Motion, Compressor and FCP for $400, and upgrades are included. >> >> What do you think? >> >> >> >> . >> >> +---End of message---+ >> To unsubscribe send any message to <ae-list-off@media-motion.tv> > > +---End of message---+ > To unsubscribe send any message to <ae-list-off@media-motion.tv> |
