A web browser + Excel + 10 minutes a day

I've never tried Stock Performer, but I have really got attached to Microstockr over the past 12 months or so. I find it really helps to see what has sold and often seeing those little thumbnails of an image I took years ago triggers a new idea for a different edit or a different series of images.

I wish it did Canva, but other than that, it meets all my needs.

A web browser + Excel + 10 minutes a day

Several agencies and 8000 images ? No way.

I have 20 agencies an 16 000 images, and I do it.
The longer was to prepare the initial Excel spreadsheet, with all the agencies and various graphs. But this was one time for all� some years ago.
Then an average of 5 minutes a day is absolutely enough to open 20 web pages and see the daily total for each day.
For other kind of calculations (RPD - RPI, etc.) I spend a little more time once or twice a month.

If you need something really comprehensive, DIY.

You obviously have no clue what those programs are actually doing...

You know me, maybe?
No!
So Speak for you and not for the others!!

I perfectly know Microstockr, I use it on my smartphone since years, and I have also used the computer version for one year, participating to the debugging program��
It is a nice program but, as with Excel I do the same thing, I don't want to pay all this money just for a nice (very nice in fact) interface.
And then Microstokr does not support half of the agencies I am with, so in any way I need an other solution (And I have it).

You obviously have no clue of what you are telling�

All these programs give you the sales and earnings of each individual file - across all (supported) agencies. Not just daily totals... Good luck doing that with excel

You can do all of this and much more with Excel, but it's an IKEA solution. You have to know how and some assembly is required.

Stock Performer is about 3 times more expensive than Microstockr for generally the same features and similar agencies supported (stock performer eagle plan), so now I am closer to Microstockr.
Do you believe Microstockr is also a safe app ? I mean you need to type all your agencies passwords in there.
Is the support responsive from your experience ?

They say they are. I personally don't trust anyone with sensitive data, even though I have to sometimes. Fortunately I can live without by using just my own scripts. And Excel.

It doesn't really matter if the people behind the app are trustworthy - all it takes is for them to be hacked and all your information is conveniently leaked in one easy move.

Hi guys,

Initially we didn't want to comment on this thread but there is some erroneous information going around.
We do not store your credentials(emails, usernames & passwords) on our servers. All that data is only stored locally on your machine and is encrypted. So if our server gets hacked your sensitive information is not in danger. We only store the credentials for your Microstockr Pro account and the subscription status on our server and if these are hacked your agency login info(stored on your computer) is still safe.

Communication between the user and the agency is done over HTTPS, which means all data is encrypted end-to-end.

This is a small community and a niche app. If someone was hacked word would get around quickly and we'd run out of business.
Hope this helps clear things out a little bit.

Cheers.
