after BS IS and FT eventually StockXpert decided to raise their prices,what about DT?any news?
Not long ago they changed the level limits, and then they introduced the editorial license and now are working in the multi-lingual site, so maybe it will take a while before the next step. Higher subs prices (and earnings) would be a welcomed move.

Dropping (or allowing an opt-out) on subscription sales would be the best way for DT to increase the average price per download. In February (which was a good month for me overall, but a poor one at DT) the average per download was 77 cents, down from over $1 in January.
The level system works well to give images that "sell" a raise, but it's undercut by the subscription sales where buyers get a maxiumum sized image and we get a 21 cent commission (if it's a partner sale).

Absolutely agree,here again sub system contradicts with PPD I think such price raises would encourage more people to subscribe.I wish they'd drop it there and StockXpert as well.(I know StockXpert allows opt out)
i dunno whether the subscription is helping... but a download is better than none, but then u see it's 30c, its kinda disappointing. just a thought ;) have almost same amount of downloads in feb, but the earning dropped tremendously.
but the level limit is a good change!
I think it is time for DT to introduce the XS size as well and maybe raise the credits, 4 credits for an Xlarge size is quite cheap in the industry at the moment.
and just for the record I wasn't too happy about the prices for the 123rf sizes ..... I think they could have charged a lot more than that.
