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.

Its scam company It's a scam company, don't enter your card info there, they will steal your money without informing you, and even if you want to cancel your subscription they will cut cancellation fees also. I lost 960 USD, scammed by this fraud.

Don't waste your money. I wanted to download an image as a vector graphic and bought a subscription to pay every month 15€, and wanted to cancel it afterward, as it was cheaper than paying 30€ for a single download. After making the purchase, I couldn't download the image as SVG, only as a raster image. Proceeding to cancel my subscription, I saw that there was a cancellation fee of another 45€ since even though I am paying monthly, it was apparently a yearly plan. In total 60€ completely wasted.

Hefty cancellation fee If you need to cancel because you can't afford it - too bad. They'll charge you a hefty cancellation fee anyway. It's wild that a cancellation fee even exists when it costs them nothing to remove the service.

Terrible company and products Terrible company and products, charging for subscription I never agreed to
