You are pre-paying a full year’s worth. It’s like paying (almost) full price but for only a year’s worth of use. For Adobe, at least, the actual monthly rate is way higher.

nope, there's a $4.99/month option and a 49.99/year option

Fair enough. I was looking at Photoshop which is claimed at $20.99 a month, but if you actually rent it monthly it's $31.99 a month.

Oh, and I wonder how long the $5/month pricing will be in effect - when they'll raise the prices.
