Title: Question on Shutterstock Extended license pricing
Post by: Groucho on December 28, 2017, 15:02
I just got a nice sale of $44 for an image on SS. I didn’t even dream that could be possible  ;D

As I am relatively new to SS (I have less than $500 total sales) I only get 20% of the customer price, according to SS Earnings Breakdown. This mean the customer paid $220 for this image. But on https://www.shutterstock.com/subscribe, (https://www.shutterstock.com/subscribe,) SS pricing maximum for extended license is $199 for 2 images.

Does someone has an explanation for such a difference between SS official pricing and the price for this sale?

Is the sale under the Extended License column or the Single or other column?

It is under "Single & other".

There is no "extended license" column on the Earning summary: I thought that, for SS, “Single & Other” meant "Extended license”.

They changed extended to 'Enhanced'

On Shutterstock they call it Enhanced not extended.  Your image would have been sold through the Enterprise Team hence Single & Other, which may be Enhanced or not, we will never know.  Single & Other can pay $120 and occasionally more.

What is the benefit of "single & other" for the customer?  Does he have more rights than with the enhanced license?
