Number of Seats/Users: Medium by Adobe offers discounts based on the number of users or seats. A higher volume typically leads to a better discount structure, especially for enterprise-level usage.

Commitment to a Long-Term Contract: Discounts are often provided to companies that commit to using the service for a longer period (e.g., 1-year or 3-year contracts). A longer commitment shows Medium by Adobe that the company is serious and willing to invest in the platform long-term.

No Active Discounts: Companies that are not already receiving other active discounts may have a better chance of qualifying for additional discounts from Medium by Adobe. Medium by Adobe reserves discounts for new customers or those not currently under promotional pricing.

Volume or Usage Commitment: Medium by Adobe offers discounts if you agree to a minimum amount of usage or transaction volume. This could be based on data storage, transactions, or other metrics tied to how much you will use the platform.

Enterprise-Level Negotiation: Companies that qualify as “enterprise” due to their size or complexity (e.g., having large teams, multiple departments, or geographical presence) may be eligible for additional discounts from Medium by Adobe. Such companies are often in a position to negotiate for better pricing.

Early Renewal or Prepayment: Medium by Adobe often offers discounts if you renew early or prepay for the entire contract period. This is a common approach to securing a lower price.

Here at Spendbase our internal data shows that Medium by Adobe lands very well with creative and product teams, especially those experimenting with VR workflows.

From what Spendbase clients tell us, the overall sentiment is very positive (consistently top ratings) with three main use cases:
– Early-stage concepting and “blue sky” ideation
– Organic sculpting for characters, props, and abstract art
– Enhancing existing 3D assets imported from other tools

Our internal data shows that clients see these key benefits:

• Fast ideation in 3D
• Very quick to “mass out” shapes and explore ideas.
• Great for roughing concepts before moving to precise CAD/3D packages.
• Natural, enjoyable workflow
• Working in VR feels “mind blowing” and more engaging than sketching.
• Encourages spontaneous creative sessions with no strict goal.
• Strong interoperability
• Import models from other platforms to refine in Medium.
• Export Medium sculpts back to standard 3D pipelines.
• Accessibility
• Some clients highlight that hand shakiness impacts drawing on paper, but is far less of an issue in Medium.

At the same time, our internal data shows recurring friction points that matter for cost-efficiency and adoption:

• Learning curve
• Toolset is powerful but initially overwhelming.
• Discoverability of tools and features is a common struggle in the first days.
• Hardware and sensitivity
• No HTC Vive support is a blocker for some teams with existing hardware.
• Controls can feel “touchy” or overly sensitive until tuned.
• Product confusion
• A few Spendbase clients mix it up with unrelated “Medium” writing tools, which suggests the need for clearer internal documentation when rolling it out.

From a Spendbase discount and optimization angle, we typically recommend:

• Start with a pilot group of core artists before scaling licenses.
• Budget time for onboarding sessions or internal tutorials to flatten the learning curve.
• Align purchases with Oculus-based setups to avoid hardware mismatch.
• Track where Medium sits in the pipeline (ideation vs. production) so you don’t overbuy seats that are rarely used.

Overall, our internal data shows that teams who plan onboarding and hardware up front see the highest ROI from Medium by Adobe and are the most enthusiastic about renewing.
