DT lets you make some of your files exclusive without being overall exclusive. You might want to try that first and see how that works for you before putting all your eggs in one basket.

I have some assignment files and some others that I made exclusive on DT and they get more views and often more sales than some of my other files there, but I make more on SS and also with RF files I license elsewhere, so I'd never go totally exclusive there.

Not exactly what you were asking but hope this gives you an idea something you can try before you make a final decision. Good luck whatever you decide.

If I were to upload to just one site (excluding Stocksy) I'd pick shutterstock or iStock.

DT exclusive is extensive. They don't even allow you to sell on POD sites.

You made a good choice. In my opinion

I think you'll sell more at DT as an exclusive, but hey, that might just be me thinking here.

Since you are new to stock , i would suggest to upload to the top 6 sites for a year or two , see how your portfolio performs in each of those sites ( its different for everyone ) , and then take your decision ...
