You say about Zazzle but not about Redbubble, FAA, 500px, Photo4me,... and others. What about Imagebrief, Picfair, FocalPool, ...?

Budget and low earners - StockFood? Inmagine? etc... I wouldn't say they're budget...

Jo Ann Snover · « **Reply #2 on:** March 24, 2015, 14:11 »

I don't see anything missing, but you say Creative Market is similar to Zazzle, and that's not at all the case. The former licenses all sorts of digital work - PSD, AI, Zip files with collections of stuff - not physical goods

nice list!

It would be good if the list is expanded with api and partner programs of the agencies.

Ariene · « **Reply #4 on:** March 25, 2015, 03:38 »

Even agencies often don't know where and how they are selling our work through! Not possible to make that list of partners

You can find thread on the forum with the list, but it's still not full.

Uncle Pete · « **Reply #5 on:** March 26, 2015, 01:41 »

The Partners thread with the list is a good effort on it's own. All sites is a nice idea also.

Each to it's own, will keep things easier to read and understand.

If you start combining the two it gets terribly complicated and confusing.

The partner thread is unfortunately out of date.
I agree that there is much work for a single.
But we should all together can gather some information.
Maybe we should update the old thread.

updated list today. enjoy.

Dook · « **Reply #8 on:** June 15, 2016, 15:57 »

Asian market:

-Afloimages
German:
-Dpa Picture Alliance

And there is no the one and only - Getty!

Multibits - as i understand belongs to GettyImages and Getty ruled by iStock, so....

Afloimages, Dpa, Imago will be added to list right away.

Envato or Photodune?

Edit: no, it's there, I just missed it.

NeonRobot · « **Reply #15 on:** June 16, 2016, 23:21 »

Already on the list.

NeonRobot · « **Reply #16 on:** June 17, 2016, 01:29 »

Added some stuff, reorganized structure a bit, fixed some quirks.

NeonRobot · « **Reply #17 on:** June 21, 2016, 07:24 »

So, is it almost perfect?)) Your suggestions..

Dook · « **Reply #18 on:** June 21, 2016, 18:22 »

Masterfile, Superstock, Imagesource, Mauritiusimages, Offset, Stocksy and Blendimages are photo agencies, not low earners (macro stock). But, the line is blurring these days. They all sell for dollar sometimes. Tetraimages to be added.
Dollarphoto is gone, I think.

NeonRobot · « **Reply #19 on:** June 21, 2016, 18:56 »

Moved to appropriate category Masterfile, Superstock, Imagesource, Mauritiusimages, Offset, Stocksy and Blendimages and added Tetraimages .
Thanks!

NeonRobot · « **Reply #20 on:** July 11, 2016, 02:20 »

Removed some obsolete, unexsisting sites.

NeonRobot · « **Reply #21 on:** July 11, 2016, 02:25 »

Do you think thread is worth of moving it to "General Stock Discussion"?

NeonRobot · « **Reply #22 on:** July 13, 2016, 10:17 »

RawStockPhoto and Bildagentur24 added.

Thanks! Deleting them)

AlessandraRC · « **Reply #25 on:** July 14, 2016, 10:14 »

I'm amazed at you guys comprehensive knowledge of stock sites!

NeonRobot · « **Reply #26 on:** July 14, 2016, 14:25 »

It's a pity, but most of them rather useless, especially in terms of earnings.
I can highlight only ShutterStock, iStock, Fotolia and maybe Dreamstime.

NeonRobot · « **Reply #27 on:** July 16, 2016, 00:47 »

Added stockafe, snapmarket, regionimages, vitalimagery, flashstock.

Please feel free to correct my mistakes and report unlisted sites.

NeonRobot · « **Reply #28 on:** July 20, 2016, 11:25 »

added vidashop

NeonRobot · « **Reply #29 on:** October 05, 2017, 14:31 »

Cleanup some mess.
Removed obsolete sites.
Added new ones: Allvago, Lifeographies, Revolucy, StoryBlocks, Swoozo.

Enjoy!

NeonRobot · « **Reply #30 on:** October 08, 2017, 17:54 »

Added getmilitaryphotos.
Sub-items of categories finally counted up.

More than 300 microstocks, photo banks and agencies.
Hope you like it!

NeonRobot · « **Reply #31 on:** October 09, 2017, 05:57 »

Added top-up arrow, for extra convenience. Some redesign also.

Good job

. Thanks for your chart.

I see in your chart so far unknown stocksite for me: Solidstockart. You highlighted this stock site as recommended. Do you have some good experiences with this stock site? What about earnings ? Thanks

Glad you like it.

Solid gives me more than 123rf and Dreamstime together. But beware they have questionable licensing agreement (as for me i don't care about licensing).
Virtually all microstock sites already own our imagery without any restrictions. You can't control and influence on what they are doing. That is why i don't care.
Without pink glasses.

Yeap. It seems that they are trying to keep current contributor earnings level at acceptable rate. Similar stuff happening at Scandinavian stock.
