Royal Free Licensing

I have noticed that when you click on the Shutterstock button the prices are all at .50. The Getty Images prices are 10.00 and up.
I am not understanding why such a huge difference.
Will someone please enlighten me?

i would imagine it would depend on the image, what you get for that, how popular it is, etc. you would have to read what you get for the price.

Assuming you are inquiring about "royalty free" ?

Yes, Royalty Free

My experience is that Royalty Free images should be priced much higher respectively than are their Rights Managed versions. And those Getty and istock prices are not accurate from my experience.

This is what happens when you try to cobble together a system to compete with businesses that are well funded, have a long history of doing business in the market place, have a established base of clients and basically don't know the business. It takes more than adding a feature on a website to create a new business venture.

Prices are set by the market leaders and the buyers. Not by individuals.
