Can you clarify why that was so? I started using privacy.com for basically any trial of subscription nowadays, am curious if this would Avert their dirty tactics.

Adobe subscriptions are sold as annual plans only. You have the option of whether to prepay the full year, or to pay it off in monthly instalments.

(I'd definitely recommend going with Affinity Photo instead if it suits your needs.)

The bundles are yearly plans only, but subscriptions to individual apps can be done on a month-to-month basis (try clicking on Photoshop, not "Photography")

That is true for some apps, but not others. Lightroom is not available monthly at all.

Lightroom is available at $1.99, $4.99, and $9.99 monthly for 40, 100, and 1000 GB of cloud storage, respectively.

This is what Apple’s App Store tells me.

That’s likely for the mobile version only, not the desktop version
