No, but they offer a better price if you agree to a contract where you pay for a year.
If you don’t want a better price then don’t go with an annual plan, easy.
The cheaper annual plan wouldn’t exist if they didn’t have any way to stop people from abusing it.
I started a free trial of Adobe stock. I forgot to cancel after the first month. They charged me $30 for the next month, ok, that’s on me. But when I tried to cancel during that second month, they said I had signed a contract to pay them for a year (I didn’t, all I did was sign up for the free trial) and I now owe them $165 to cancel the subscription. So in essence they were going to charge me $195 for one month of Adobe stock. That’s insane.
Every annual discount plan I know of (at other companies) is paid once per year. If you pay monthly, then you get the higher monthly price. If you stop paying, then your access stops. No extra fee to pay.
Adobe offers a prepaid annual plan, an annual plan paid monthly, and a normal monthly plan.
They make that very clear from their order page.
