The major characteristic of this stock photo agency is that images and photos stored on Shutterstock are available using subscription only. Shutterstock, thus, mainly targets those customers, who buy a large number of images and photos on a regular basis.

The standard subscription plan, offered by Shutterstock, is "25-A-Day". It includes 25 royalty free photos or images that can be purchased daily throughout one month. Thus, a customer is able to buy 750 images per month for only $249 or $0.33 per image. There are special discounts for those who purchase three or more months subscription. And it can lower to $0.28 per image.

In addition to monthly subscription, Shutterstock offers yearly subscription called "On Demand" to those who rarely need to purchase images and photos. Having chosen this type of subscription, you will be able to purchase images and photos from Shutterstock any time while your subscription lasts.

In other words, the "On Demand" plan allows you to make purchases of individual items (or single purchase) at Shutterstock. However, the terms of "On Demand" are not as flexible as the terms offered by other stock photo agencies as single purchases.

As such, the price of one image or photograph, excluding vector files of vector images, on Shutterstock will amount to $9.16 (given the subscription price of $229) or $15.00 (given the minimum subscription price of $15). In order to take all advantages of vector images, you will have to purchase a subscription plan for $49 or $229 with a minimum image price of $9.80 and $9.16 respectively.

Evidently, Shutterstock does not suit you if you are interested in purchasing one image or photograph for $1. However, if you are planning to buy large numbers of royalty free images and photos on a regular basis, Shutterstock is the service you should seriously consider. An incredible variety of images and photos available on Shutterstock will meet the demand of the most sophisticated customers. And all of this — at a very low price.
