WirestockReviews of wirestock.io

This is the biggest scam company on the internet. As a creator, they first "buy from you" (as if providing you support at the start) the works that you send them for revision and then they (probably) sell those works through you and thus take your money. When you reach the amount that you can "withdraw" from the account, the application will suddenly DISABLE your access to your "settings" where it automatically sends you to the "Buyers page" preventing you from withdrawing money! Avoid them in a wide arc because you will not gain anything, you will only waste time and money!

Soy fotógrafo profesional con 15 años de experiencia y un portafolio de más de 20.000 fotos en Wirestock. He pagado cuotas Premium durante años y ahora, tras sus "cambios de política", mis ingresos han caído un 90% sin ninguna explicación. Han pasado de ser una distribuidora seria a ignorar completamente mis avisos legales. Me han devuelto la suscripción sin yo pedirlo para intentar silenciarme, pero mis 20.000 fotos siguen bajo su control y ya no generan nada. Es una gestión nefasta de la propiedad intelectual. No responden correos, no dan la cara en Discord y han enterrado años de mi trabajo manual. Si estás pensando en confiarles tu trabajo: HUYE. Están usando el contenido de los colaboradores para sus propios proyectos de IA mientras nos dejan sin los ingresos que nos pertenecen. ¡Exijo una respuesta real y el cumplimiento de sus contratos de distribución ya!

My experience with Wirestock has been pretty negative. Not because of the business model or the projects—in fact, the projects can be really interesting, and at first I was very motivated to collaborate and create as much as possible. However, based on my experience, the project management for areas like Virtual Try-On and Character Consistency lacked what I would consider basic project management structure, industry understanding, and clear communication. This created a lot of unnecessary challenges for freelancers. I fully understand that freelancers are not employees and that no one is perfect, but there should still be a baseline of respect, professionalism, and clear communication in any collaboration. At times, it felt like freelancers had very limited ways to voice concerns or get meaningful responses, which made the situation even more frustrating. There was also a lack of transparency around projects, frequent changes in rules, and difficulty getting consistent or clear answers. Support responses were often slow, and it felt like responsibility was not clearly taken by project managers when issues arose. I hope the company can reconsider the management, see these issues and completely change them. Wirestock has so much potential and all of it is being ruined by some individuals who are apparently extremely unaware of what they do, at least based on my experience with them.

The worst company ever! They change the requirements during projects, claiming they can do so because it’s freelance work. Your initial submissions get reviewed repeatedly, as many times as they want, often leading to a suspended account, a negative balance, and delayed or missing payments. The people working there are the worst. There’s no professionalism, and project managers frequently threaten to remove you from projects. Some PMs don’t even respond to your messages. It’s best to avoid working here for the sake of your mental and physical health.

Don’t ever work for this company unless you want endless problem and uncertainty. They hired us to make Pictures for them which was basically consisted of 3 parts, A clear background a hand, An accessory (like clothing bracelets etc.) and our hand with that accessory on. We made around like 100 sets (worth around $100) they completely ignored it, didn’t check it, didn’t approve it and most definitely didn’t pay us for weeks. After that they magically changed the rules and told us that the previous ones would be automatically rejected. For God’s sake, if you look for a care-free job, look for it somewhere else because Wirestock is definitely not it.

Ich nutze Wirestock seit der Corona-Zeit – damals war es für mich als Hobby-Fotograf und Filmer tatsächlich eine sehr praktische Lösung. Man musste sich nicht selbst um das Hochladen auf verschiedene Stock-Plattformen kümmern und konnte unkompliziert erste Erfahrungen sammeln, um zu sehen, was funktioniert und was nicht. Doch genau diese Vorteile sind inzwischen praktisch verschwunden. Heute kann ich nur noch dringend davon abraten, Wirestock zu verwenden. Statt Bilder wie früher auf klassischen Stock-Plattformen anzubieten, werden Inhalte mittlerweile hauptsächlich als Datensätze verkauft – und das bringt gerade für Hobby-Creator so gut wie keine Einnahmen mehr. Noch gravierender ist jedoch ein anderes Problem: Einnahmen werden teilweise nicht mehr ausgezahlt, und der Support reagiert schlicht gar nicht mehr auf Anfragen. Das ist kein Einzelfall – es gibt zahlreiche Berichte von anderen Nutzern, denen es genauso geht. Auch die kostenpflichtigen Premium- bzw. AI-Dienste wirken alles andere als zeitgemäß und hinken dem aktuellen Stand der Technik deutlich hinterher. Für das, was hier verlangt wird, bekommt man woanders wesentlich bessere Qualität. Fazit: Was früher eine hilfreiche Plattform war, ist inzwischen kaum noch zu empfehlen. Wer seine Inhalte ernsthaft vermarkten möchte, sollte sich definitiv nach Alternativen umsehen.

Wirestock have still not removed my images which I asked them to do in July 2025. Please see recent my reviews below and their reply. So, seven months later my images, only around 100, are still available for sale even though I closed my account. On 26th January this year (2026) they wrote me this: "Due to some techincal issues the process took a bit longer, but we should be able to complete the deletion by the end of this week." Still though the images are there. If you ever want to close your account be warned - you may not be able to have your images removed from the various sites that Wirestock have uploaded them to which can be a nightmare if you want to do something else with those images. It's akin to losing rights over them. Avoid unless you want to lose your rights over your own images.

This company is terrible to work for. They run projects for training A.I. They pay almost nothing, and then reject work for poor reasons. You will end up earning one or two dollars per hour if you are lucky. Worse, at the end of the project, they reject ALMOST ALL your work to avoid paying out. There is no recourse or anyone to talk to about this. The project managers won't help. If you see an ad online to work for Wirestock.io in training A.I. you have been warned. Edit: In reply, they reject good sets for things that aren't even in the project. They reject things for A.I. when the original is on YOUR site and explicitly not list as A.I. There is absolutely no one to contact and the people you have reviewing haven't a clue about what is A.I. or even depth of field in a photo. They reject things for being blurry when it is supposed to be in keeping with the depth of field in the image. Address your staff issues and then we have something to talk about. Edit 2: Correspondence was a waste of time. Someone did reply to the ticket I had to open, but nothing was resolved. the person didn't even read the emails I sent. They simply wanted to know who I was. Nothing has changed, but this year the reviewers are even worse. This will be the last A.I. training I will do for Wirestock. It's simply shocking to have to work with such incompetence. Edit 3: It's now nearly two months after the termination of the project and we have still not received the final payment. "... payments are delayed due to some issues in the process." The process is the amount is simply paid out. You have been warned.
