iSyndica do many less important things but don't do (maybe can not do) the most timetaking thing: keywording. without submission prosess, iSyndica means nothing. multiple uploading can be done with fxp methods with much more cheaper. "analysis your earning" is just a "financial masturbation".

I never understood why people would pay for Isyndica. The only thing it saves is bandwidth. If you have enough of that, Filezilla does the same, and free. There is this hoax going around that Filezilla only can upload to one site at a time. It's not true. You can queue your images to all sites you want and then let it go. You can also send different file versions to different sites, like 5MP to SS and 12MP to DT,BigStock, etc... something that Isyndica doesn't do.

Signed up with them a few months back and I must say I realy like it.  Sure it seems it only saves you bandwidth, which means litle when you have a good internet connection (my case as well).  But see, I don't have the generate a 5MP version for SS off of the 12MP version I send to DT, FT, off of the 48MB version I send to Alamy: the system does all this for me automatically.  I upload my 18MP images with the keywords added in lightroom and onfigured my agency accounts so custom variants are created for me automatically.  No more * around with 10,000 versions for each agency or worse, having to manage updating keywords on all those variants.  That by itself is worth paying 20 bucks a year to me, though actually I upgraded to a premium subscription with their new pricing change.  I'd prefer is I didn't have to pay for each file transfer, but at the end of the day, I save so much time that it's a smal price to pay

Can't imagine why you would finagle over a few dollars and then waste hours and hours trying to hack something up with Filezilla and still not have any solution to upload different resolutions to different agencies, having to create all of those yoursef, and manage them (and add the * color profile and all that mess for Alamy).
Wish they did a bit more for model releases though.  It's great they added them but I still have to go tie them up on the agency site and they don't support iStock for MRs yet.

That said, I heard rumors that they're converting their affiliate program to give out cash instead of credits, so... go ahead and make me some money  http://vds.isyndica.com/Affiliate/hdrhack - you really won't regret it - stop wasting your time trying to figure out hacks that only waste more of your time - are you in to sell photos or to fart around?
