- Annual price for new subscribers. Copilot and Designer were added at the Jan 2025 increase, and a 'Personal Classic' plan without AI kept $69.99 for existing subscribers, so part of the jump reflects added features.
- Step series: each price applies from its change date until the next change. Monthly values hold the price in effect that month.
