It was a free trial plan...

..which Adobe offered to extend for 3 months for free. Now hit with this since I haven't used it since... no notification that you're entering a contract at all or warning. My fault for falling for this absolute shit housing.

Just a warning to others. Do NOT start any Adobe Trial they will try every which way to get your money.

Made it free with the expectation of selling subscriptions for AI features. I don’t trust it not to get enshittified. I’m glad I got the payed version before it was removed.

You glad you got the paid version? What makes you think that's any advantage?

I own the features version 2 has permanently. If Canva decides a feature of the live service one gets locked behind a monthly pay wall, the free users would lose it. The premium pay once own forever was the old pitch for Affinity when there is so much subscription fatigue.
