Adobe, when will you get your pricing structure in order?

adobe,

 

why - years - have been ripping off european clients ludicrous prices without foundation?

 

creative cloud used same servers worldwide software, same servers validation , still manage charge absurd mark-ups clients europe.

 

using today's exchange rates , expressed in $, following monthly cost creative cloud:

 

country	price/month excl. taxes	price/month incl. taxes	% difference versus us excluding taxes	% difference versus us including taxes	local tax rate
usa	$ 50	state dependent	na	na
uk	$ 61	$ 73 (£ 47)	22 %	46 %	20 %
france	$ 68	$ 81 (€ 61.50)	36 %	62 %	19.6 %
switzerland	$ 75	$ 81 (chf 70)	50 %	62 %	8 %
luxembourg	$ 70	$ 81 (€ 61.50)	40 %	62 %	15 %
netherlands	$ 67	$ 81 (€ 61.50)	34 %	62 %	21 %
germany	$ 68	$ 81 ( € 61.50)	36 %	62 %	19 %

 

considering countries use same servers access cc software , same servers validating purposes, not explain why customers outside usa have pay @ least 22 % more in uk , @ least 34 50 % more in other european countries. may use argument rip off customers in switzerland more other european countries higher taxation, hungary. keep in mind businesses not pay vat, refund of vat paid, end-consumers suffer penalty of high taxation in country, , 62 % huge price difference.

 

tax rates should never argument price differentation. adobe not benefit or suffer local tax rules. charge , pay it, eos. adobe should @ prices excluding taxes.

 

they ought charge € 38 per month, equivalent around $ 50, excluding taxes.

 

i have been ripped off adobe due ridiculous pricing strategy, made me go through convoluted steps cheapest version available, because refuse credit card payments other countries. can't pay dutch credit card on website. this cheap way rip off customers, imo.

100 % agreed.

 

thank posting harm.
