With the monthly plan, you can cancel anytime without a fee.

It’s perfect for users who need After Effects for a short-term, intensive project.

Although Adobe offers sales and promotions a few times a year, these discounts do not apply to the monthly plan.

Therefore, the price for this plan is the same year-round.

You can only subscribe to the monthly plan through the official Adobe website.

Please follow the steps below;

1. Visit the official After Effects (https://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects.html) page.

2. Select the “Buy Now” button.

3. On the plan selection screen, choose the “Monthly” plan.

After that, follow the prompts to create an Adobe ID and input your payment details.

The monthly plan automatically renews every month unless you cancel.

If you cancel after making a payment, you can continue to use the service until your next renewal date. So, if you know you won’t be using it the following month, it’s best to cancel in advance.

Also, if you plan on using After Effects for a long period, you might want to consider switching to the annual plan.

The monthly plan is priced higher compared to the annual plan.

Let’s simulate how many months of use per year would make the monthly plan cheaper and a better deal than the annual plan.

Here are the prices for the After Effects single-app plan by subscription type;

The Monthly plan is priced at approximately 1.5 times the cost of the “Annual, billed monthly” (US$34.49 / US$22.99 = 1.50…).

This means that if you use the Monthly plan for 8 months within a year (12 months / 1.5 = 8), the total amount paid will be roughly the same as the annual plan.

Furthermore, when compared to the “Annual, prepaid,” the total payment amount is nearly the same after using the month-to-month plan for 8 months (US$263.88 / US$34.49 = 7.6…).

Here are the conclusions based on this analysis:

The After Effects Monthly plan is the cheaper option if you need it for 7 months or less annually.

In this article, we’ve covered the details of using After Effects on a monthly subscription.

The advantage of the monthly plan is its flexibility, so it is recommended for those who plan to use it intensively for a short period, or for those who only use it occasionally.
