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.

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.

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

Fraudulent company Fraudulent company. I turned off the auto-renew repeatedly on my account and they turned it back on. Charged me for three months before I realised what was happening. Contacted customer service who accuse you of lying.

Shutterstock wins worst customer service award This company does not deserve any stars at all. Different reps give conflicting information, cannot get a supervisor, when asked they simply get aggressive and stop responding. If there were an option for negative stars shutterstock wins the award for the worst customer service. Stay away from this company.
