A figure is mentioned, and the index marks it uncertain. The strings below are the stored ones.

A pricing check dated 20 Sep 2026 read the individual plan as $39.99 per month, billed annually, including Captivate and Captivate Classic. An Adobe FAQ page still says a new individual subscription costs $33.99 per month. Those two public figures disagree, so the dollar amount is marked uncertain even though a paid individual subscription is clearly the entry plan. Team and enterprise licensing are quote-based.
