The real benefit of Yay I see a lot of negative reviews but as a heavy user of this service, I will say this. This is the only service that is providing EXTENDED LICENSE at an affordable price. All other services will require you ridiculous price on extended use. If you want to print on T-shirt, create a card, a calendar, etc. Other services are good for images for blogs, etc... but not for business purposes. I do need Yay to survive, or other services to follow Yay, in terms of offering reasonable options for extended license.

Horrible service. Horrible service. I got tricked into trying a FREE trial. Ended up with them trying to charge my credit card even though I had removed it from the platform. There's no way to actually close or change your subscription. My bank actually had to close down the card since they kept trying to bill me for a service I didn't want and I had no way to refuse.

Yet another pathetic thieves Several month ago, almost a year, I was requested to remove my account. It was removed, but my images is still on sale, which was reasoned by the fact that the images are still on sale, in case I suddenly change my mind. Account deleted, images on sale - and how about my royalties in this case? I've send another few emails confirming account termination, but they simply stopped answering. So, how about to finally remove my account and stop stealing my content? Conclusion. If you're their client - you're probably paying for literally stolen things. If you're contributor - think twice before stepping into this.

Very Good Selection, Their Lifetime Deal is a Tremendous Value I've been a YAY Images customer for a few years and have found that for the quality and selection, they offer tremendous value. I was using credits for their service for quite a while when they had an offer for a lifetime deal where you pay a one time fee (at the time, I think it was $149 USD) and get 10 premium images per day. I took the deal and I have no regrets -- it was one of the best lifetime deals I've ever purchased. Every once in a while they repeat that deal and if you use licensed images regularly, I would highly recommend buying it. My experience is that the same images are on other image licensing services and they cost a lot more elsewhere. The downside of using YAY images is that their service gives 500 errors every so often -- and it can last an entire day. In fact, that was the case yesterday. There have been two or three days in the past month where I could not access my licensed images or get new ones, so I lost 10 images each day they had server issues. A week ago I sent YAY Images a support request to tell them of the issue and I still haven't received a response and I believe that was the first time in the years I've been with them that I've ever sent a support request. I can see from Reddit that they've been having these same server problems for years. I only recently noticed it. My hope is that YAY Images can improve their server reliability and their customer support. But even with those issues and lost credits, I still don't regret my LTD purchase and would still recommend them, noting that they have server and customer service issues. If YAY Images improved their customer service and server reliability, I would very happily change my rating from 4 to 5 stars. Hey, I bought their lifetime deal, so I'm cheering for them to succeed. Work on these areas YAY Images. Make improvements. You, otherwise, have an excellent service.

Worth Every Penny I've been using Yayimages for a year now and it is a get go tool for all my blogging needs. I also write a nature-based local area guide and it can be hard to find good photos of some of the things we write about. Since getting this, I've found all the photos I needed for my articles. I do prefer taking my own photos, but finding quality stock photos helps save time and money, which I seem to be short of these days. Great value, excellent selection, and I appreciate the different search options to help me find exactly what it is I'm looking for.
