Adobe After Effects's billing traps
Before you pay
The visible monthly price hides a 12-month commitment ('annual, billed monthly'); cancelling after the 14-day refund window but before the year is up is commonly reported to trigger an early termination fee of roughly 50% of the remaining months, though this figure should be re-verified against Adobe's official subscription terms page.
