The team is great and very considerate. The only problem is the payment rate and schedules.

Paid for a lifetime subscription of 1000 downloads/month but after two years this was reduced to a legacy plan of 30 downloads/month. I understand they couldn't sustain it but then they shouldn't have offered it! Three stars because I don't need more than 30 downloads/month anyway.

The web and the application are really a good idea and international visibility but over time I think it has lost a bit of effectiveness, they don't check the photos and my view counter doesn't work

EDIT --- So I finally got a hold of the CEO, and after she gave me the run-around for about a week, I finally got some answers. In a nutshell: Standard License is unlimited web use. Extended License permits up to 100k for print use. ************* I bought a 1-year subscription for the standard AND extended license via DealFuel. I've been trying for weeks to get ahold of someone in Customer Service, and all my emails have been ignored. I finally reached someone through Instagram, but they're giving me the runaround. All I want to know is: what is the print usage for the Extended License? For the Standard License, it's 100,000 usages, but the rep on IG says that's wrong. How's that wrong? It's stated on YOUR license page! Am I misreading something?

From a contributor's point of view it seems promising - but it has a lot of issues. The review process is far too long (quoted two weeks but it is longer - I've not had any reviews without prompting support). The number of downloads and views changes weekly not in real time. Earnings is only updated monthly. Model release information is very hit and miss - doesn't seem to work at all for minors. The captions and keywords are not read from the exif information in the file. Instead the site tries to identify what's in the image itself!. Unsurprisingly it's mostly wrong so you have to update the caption and information yourself - this also doesn't change in real time you have to wait days for the information to be updated. On the plus side sales looks very encouraging although the response from support has been sketchy. Update: They finally ran the update for paying contributors (in May for images sold in Feb). They've also vastly improved the keywords and captions process. Still very buggy but getting there.
