Since I no longer needed Adobe programs, I wanted to cancel my Creative Cloud Subscription. Of course, Adobe, as excellent as they are, tried to charge me an 80 USD cancellation fee. Awesome right?

I quickly searched for how I could work around this.

How to bypass the cancellation fee in 2 easy steps

1. Switch to a cheaper plan for one of Adobe’s products
2. Cancel the plan immediately afterward

Now, you will be refunded some money, and you won’t get hit with a stupidly large cancellation fee. Bravo!

Here are some alternatives I know.

• Figma - UI/UX Design
• Blender - 3D design, videos?
• Affinity Photo - Photoshop Alternative
• Photopea - Photoshop Alternative
• GIMP - Photoshop Alternative
• DaVinci Resolve - Premiere Pro Alternative
• Kdenlive - Premiere Pro Alternative
• OpenShot - Premiere Pro Alternative

This list will be expanded eventually.

I hate Adobe.
