Exact same experience as a lot of… Exact same experience as a lot of people - auto renew contract, cancellation fee... horrible. Pictures are fine but...

wasted purchase i bought a package of 5 photos because i needed one image, and didnt take any image for the rest of the year, forgot about them actually. Today i just checked, the year has passed, i didnt receive any email from Shuttestock to notify me i had these 4 images left. I didnt receive any emails from shutterstock since the confirmation of my purchase. So my plan has been closed (after 1 year) and i cant get the other images. That's a despicable way to make money.

They keep taking your money after you have cancelled, and they won't stop. It is stealing. Nice pictures are indeed available. But to cancel my subscription eventually, I had to search long to figure out how. Here is how: You take personal contact to them with an email, and then they send you back a link, when (or if) they write you back. Then you get to pay a cancellation fee. And then they keep taking more of your money every month afterwards anyway. It is illegal, and I am currently considering lawsuit. But to everyone else out there, please don't be trapped like some of us have. They are here to take the money and service regarding anything is almost non-existing, and they keep taking your money after cancellation.

Scammers and Frauds I never once made any accounts or subscriptions to this website yet Ive been charged over 400$ in subscription fees... I've checked all my e-mails not a single one has been, is, or will ever be, linked to these scamming fraudsters. Ive since reported it as fraud and reported the company and had to get a new bank card. This company/website is garbage and needs to get shut down.

Good company gone Bad - AVOID Scam company. we used for many years to buy 10 photos when needed. They moved to an annual subscription model cleverly disguised as a Monthly model. We reactived a subscription , discovered 3 months later teh scam and then 'negotiated' £24 to be let out of their little scam in addition to 3 months @£22. £90 for 10 photos that cost about £1-2 each on otehr sites Good company gone bad.
