Another one this month. $22.85.

I'll say this much, I had a total of 5 ELs last year and I have 2 in February so far.

Had a EL today for $24.87 and ironically the Image is a very Old Isolated Penny. LOL

Since opting out I had one request for $16. I told them to come back when it's $28+.

Guys, I am still receiving, every day, notifications about new responses.

So far, there are 170 responses. Maybe I was not properly understood: the last 70 responses went into a black hole, because the free version only allows stats up to 100 responses.

Unless someone subscribes to Surveymonkey, 100 answers is the max we can analyse.

Wonder why each one seems to be less than the last? Last one also sub $20

Guess they are getting more and more enthusiastic with the discounts already.

I think it is likely that new responses are from people new to this thread, as they would see the  link to the survey and respond to the survey before reading this thread further. Might be an idea to update your opening post to say the survey limit of 100 responses has been reached.

Just had a $28.00 download. I can't tell if it's an EL or SOD since I'm currently in a foreign country and SS is blocked here (explains why I rarely get downloads from here). It's just strange that it's exactly $28.00, which is the old EL price.

Anyway, that makes 3 for the month of February, compared to a total of 5 for last year.

$16.8 for top tier! Ha, ha! This makes the price of that EL like what? $56.2?
Besides, it has been purchased from Germany, a top tier country!
Way to go and undercut my 100 credits ELs from Fotolia!

Well, tbh, you are the one who is undercutting yourself. SS has an opt-out option, so you can enjoy selling ELs on Fotolia and not worry.

The problem is that, now, with $79.99, Adobe is also undercutting my 100 credits ELs from Fotolia ...
.... and they also undercut SS, since the poll shows $24.7 +/- $0.8 royalty per EL, which translates in $82.33 +/- $2.6 cost per EL (with 90% confidence)

That was my firsth thought when I read the announcement. I set my EL prices at 100 on FT yet they sell at 79.99 on AS. Its a bid dodgy from AS from my point of view.

I am sure it has been discussed here before, but where do I set the EL prices on Fotolia? I've looked around and don't see where that is. I see a place in indexing where you can set XS price and X price (30-100). Is the X price the extended license price?

I told FT today If they were smart. Is to offer 50% On EL's They cost them Nothing Just Like SS. they can afford 50%. Make a stand and a statement to US.

Today one $25.50 and another one $29.70, so it's possible in long term this move to become positive. I think this will be clear when we compare not ELs, but the amounts of them for 2015 and 2016.

Since opting out I had one request for $16. I told them to come back when it's $28+.

May I ask if you got any feedback from SS?

I just had an email telling me that I'm opted out of sensitive (which is not true - I opted out only of EL) and client wants to buy it (sensitive) immediately for the $22 (pfff). Of course I told them to come back when/ if they change their thinking and treating... After 8 years with them I DO expect more respect. What they do* is nothing but a distasteful joke...

* Cost of our living is higher and higer every year, after 8 yrs of supporting the agency I get the new "exciting news" with pricing cut during SS enjoys the new office. They even can't give me clear info if it is SoD or EL.

Yes, I'm mad and disappointed...

A lot of SODs will be sold with an EL license so opting out of ELs effectively opts you out of a lot of higher paying SODs, hence the reason they would need to get in touch with you.   Since ELs are being discounted and SODs are sold by the Enterprise Team for whatever price and terms they want, there is no way of knowing if you would be getting more or less for an EL sold as a SOD, but $22 doesn't look too good for potentially broader licensing rights.
