Last 5 years we were keeping the prices at the same level despite the difficulties we were encountering and the growth of our team.
We are striving to offer a quality service to our users and use any income to make our platform better.
It makes our profit margin very thin and any income decrease becomes critical.

Many of our users are facing difficulties because of the current situation and have to stop working with microstock temporarily.
It has affected our income and thus we can't cover our operational costs and we have no other way to preserve our platform but increasing the prices.

We realize that even a slight price increase would be critical for the beginners and those for whom microstock is just a part-time job.
That's why we are increasing the prices only for the professional plans (starting with Professional).
We did our best to keep the increase as low as possible.
Besides, we are announcing this in advance so that everyone can purchase packages for any period of time upfront at the old rates.
Prices increase will not affect the packages purchased before 1st of April.

On 1st April the following subscription plans will have their prices increased:
Professional plan will cost 50 EUR/mo.
Unlimited - 80.
Corporate - 200.
Studio - 400.

So what are the lower levels going to per month? Or are they being eliminated?

Why is every comment here negative? I think this team do a great job and it is the mainstay of my work. The Professional package he mentions is for 1000 uploads a month - far more than I do.

It is not unreasonable to increase the fees in my view, especially as the increase is only aimed at heavy users.

StockSubmitter provides incredible support, to be honest, much more than I pay for. I use a low-level Lite plan and the support has been truly amazing. Dmytri is a great guy and I'm absolutely sure there is nothing in this announcement but pure business need.

Thank you for the support!

Cheaper plans are not going to be changed.
As I explained above, we don't want to make it more difficult for the beginners and those for whom microstock is not the main source of income.

I second this. I vary between Lite and Casual, with a Pro plan here and there during the many years I have used this service. Dmytri has always responded quickly and professionally. The product works great and it's well worth the price. Updates are made almost daily.

The price increase is for people that upload more than 1,000 images per month and is a penny per image.


Dmytri, if you need to charge me $12.50 for the Lite plan, I'd be happy to do so. Keep up the great work and thank you for a great product.

Thank you for your kind words!
It's a pleasure working on a software that helps so many people.

We do not have plans to increase prices for the smaller subscription plans but we really appreciate your support!
