You will know the final amount at the end of each month.

No problem with 0,03 $ if You had sold 2 for 27$. Bravo for this, Paulo.
Anyway, 0.08 $, 0.03 $.. this is total degradation
But participation in stock business is our choice, agree?

Yeah, 0,03$ is nearly a crime. But we are talking about "premier" colection ( 300k pictures ), and only if client spend all subscription. If they not spend it at all, You get higher royalties for those images, something does not happen in other agencies ( They still paying 0,20$,0,25... ).

So, the best way to evaluate PS, is on the end of each year

Another "funny" fact is that, some files sold on PS, never got any sale ( or even were got accepted ) in any of agency's that i'm working with. Here among us, "where nobody can listen": I should be paying to customer for every download of those "images" LOL

Most people criticize these "business template", because it makes other agencies lower their prices ( IS and FT by the way ), but I'm the few one that believe that they would lower the prices any way. Moreover, regularly, I got same image sold in more than agency, on same day, with different prices: once was from 0.25$ to 131$. This means that we have enough clients for any price, and working with "very low price"  agency, doesn't means that "all clients" runway to that agency on first chance.

But I agree with You.. it's everyone own choice. Micro Stock is my third source of income ( second in photography business ), and i'm not working with the most salable images.

More easily I stop downloading to Is, than to PS. I give more importance to the final $ income, rather than the RPD.

Wow, interesting stuff thanks for sharing. I was looking at their payment page, and it states this:

"Each revenue split is based upon the number of total downloads of your images per customer per month."

Meaning what exactly - you will never know what you are supposed to be paid? Am i reading that right?

And 0.03cents in value for a sale.......really?.....iStock will be jealous.

You right. As I stated above, we only will know the final results on the end of each year, and probably we will get much of those 0,03$ downloads.

But non-sub downloads are interesting.

BME a great month pushed up with payouts from Alamy as well as Veer (first time) in addition to my other sites.  Although SS lagged below its usual performance .. wondering why?  Its been my best performer for many months so hoping it comes back up.
