WirestockReviews of wirestock.io

I have uploaded quite a lot of video and pictures to Wirestock.io since I joined their service about a month ago. All of my content is still under review, including stuff that I added to my portfolio over a month ago. Tried reaching out to Wirestock but got no response. Yet the website is always urging me to sign up for Pro. How about you fix my portfolio and then we'll talk about me wasting my hard-earned money on your non-existent services.

Its a scam, don't bother wasting your time with them.

I'm a Wirestock user almost from the beginning. I usted to recommend it but I can't anymore. I have about 4000 images and have made some money, but if I started today I would just go the good ol'way: choose a couple agencies and upload on my own. Keywording isn't anything to write home about, I didn't ever complain because it was a free service, but I wouldn't pay for it. I've also lost confidence in the platform due to the changes in policies, I can't be sure how things will be in the future. Having any kind of stats or control of what sells where in any useful way Is imposible, the changes in the interfase have made it more visually appealing, but you don't get almost any information other than your last sales. You can't sort your images by best selling, agency or upload date, for example. To me it was a great idea that's been spiralling downwards for quite a while, and I don't foresee a promising future. Me, I stopped uploading any more images and resumed submitting to Alamy and Adobe on my own. The sensation I get is that numbers aren't working for them, and so they decided to start charging to users, which I don't think is neither clever nor fair.

I am a amateur photographer hoping to sell the odd picture so signed up to Wirestock in January 2023 on their free of charge platform. The first batch of pictures I uploaded were reviewed very quickly and one was sold straight away, great!. The next lot of photos (36) were then uploaded in early February and STILL have not been reviewed as of the 9th March, over a month. I pity anybody uploading large batches on a regular basis, or perhaps if I had the paid service, Hmmmmm. Don't bother, service is utter rubbish, unless you pay of course. Have now closed this account 12/03/23

Your conduct is unspeakable. You started rejecting images in bulk to get them below 85% and get paid by the contributor to access the review. Moreover, sales are now stuck at zero in an inconceivable way compared to the usual trend. You are incompetent

The service is absolutely bad and as soon as you use the payment function, costs are charged double and triple. After weeks of contact with the support I wanted my money back. This wish was excluded.... that contradicts their guidelines. Photographers should absolutely keep their hands off here. You have no control over your own images, images are rejected 3x as often as with Adobe Stock. With rejected images your possibility to make easy submissions decreases. However, this is the only service that Wirestock has made attractive. Hands off!

Terrible company. Canceled my premium account. The payoff didn’t match the fee. Long review process, commission is bad, for some reason now a free account can’t submit anymore. This company won’t be around much longer or another company will buy them out.

Photos kept "under review” for quite a while but the sales and commission do come in on time.
