That depends on the use case. The subscription model will be significantly more expensive for people who don't need the newest features. At about $50 per month the $1200 for CS Design Standard are payed off after 2 years. Whereas I'm still using the 6 year old InDesign CS3. And a nearby t-shirt printing shop is using Illustrator 10, from 2001.
- toki5 13y agoThis is absolutely a fair point regarding the total cost over time, but I'm referring to the first cost, where I don't have the product and am considering purchasing it. A one-time $1200 fee is a non-starter. There's no way I'm paying that much money for a product that I'm not even sure I'll use next month. $50 (or, as I've been corrected by others -- thanks) $20 to try it out? That's a much easier decision.
