Yep Same as all the others Yep, same as everyone else. Auto renew which I didn't click. They also charged an old credit card and somehow got the money. Said they would refund and nothing. Don't worry too much, AI is going to absolutely destroy them.

Be careful of the hidden fees. Update: After missing the end of the free trial, I started to be charged - my own fault. However I discovered that when you then try to cancel the service a hefty cancellation fee is charged. I did contact customer service fairly robustly and initially was fobbed off. However a follow up email was dealt with well, and I was refunded not just for the cancellation fee, but for the monthly charge I had incurred. So a star off for the cancellation fee, and one for the initial poor response from the company, but do contact them if you have not used the service and ended up paying.

The worst example of customer lock in… The worst example of customer lock in I've experienced for a long time. The cancellation process is designed to be confusing and often results in the continuation of a 'plan' you didn't want in the first place. Just give me my damn photos and leave me alone. Can't wait for AI to make this business completely irrelevant

It is a scam It is a scam, do not give them your credit card. When you make a free trial account they start charging every month you without notification even if you do not download images. Very disappointing experience, I paid for 5 months without realising it and I had to pay a cancellation fee as well. Stay away!

I wish I could put a zero star I wish I could put a zero star. Shutterstock deducted money from my PayPal account despite the fact that my PayPal wasn't saved as a payment method. They were able to make the deduction because I used it previously for a payment.
