WirestockReviews of wirestock.io

It's very suspicious agency, they don't report all sales.. They may steal your sales by not reporting them... here are many incidents that I faced... 1) they started it as free, such that no subscription to upload your files to distribute to all other microstock agencies.. later they started charging subscription amount... When you already taking 15% of our earnings on sales... why do need to pay for subscription??? If you charge for subscription to upload files, why you again charge 15% of our sales??? 2) I uploaded some videos at some point, which were approved by wirestock, but not distributed across agencies for several weeks. I sent them many followup mails. they said, due to high volume of uploads it taking longer time.. I forgot about it after few days... After almost one year, I seen my files on wirestock portfolio on Shutterstock... I am suspicious about it, why it took almot one year to upload my files to wirestock portfolios? Are my files uploaded under my name or they doing some kind of cheating on this? Are they added earnings, for the sales occured on these files?? 3) Usually I get 20-25 video sales a month from Adobe stock through wirestock, But in the July month, I received only one sale, that too 1st of July... And no video sales updated rest of month... I sent many mails to them to check if there any delay in updating sales.. They replied me that I didn't get any videos sales after that... How come 20-25 video sales a month, to just 1 video sale a month? no video sale for 29 days in a row? 4) After that I asked them to close my wirestock account, and told to remove all my files across wirestock portfolios... They asked me to give 120 days to remove my files... I waited for 120 days, even after that, they removed them after I sent followup mails... And not all my files removed... I can still few of my files still left on wirestock portfolios... When I quostioned about them, they replied that, someone might stole my videos to upload to wirestock... When I only uploaded these videos wirestock, but not to any other agency, how come someone stole these videos, other than someone from wirestock end? I am warning all contributors that, its very suspicious agency... *They don't report all sales, they may steal your sales and earnings *You are not sure, if your files uploading under your name or not *They don't easily remove your files when you ask to close your account *They don't remove all your files after closing account..(That's where I got doubt, if my files uploaded under by name in their database, of some other person's name?)

I was led to beleive I closed my account last year however, on the 6th of December 2025 they took out $93.48. Their rules are crap and that's why I want no part of them.

The concept of paying money so they sell your photos is just a cash grab. Initially a few photos will be sold on their platform (there's no receipt or trace who bought it). Then the sales drop off while you keep paying a monthly fee. Photos and videos that sell well on other platforms see no sales on Wirestock's site. Beware of their "paid projects" as well since you get stuck in a loop of working for free while they sell your work to a company that trains AI. Also the majority of reviews here are fake when you take a closer look. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

Can't cash out; the website keeps finding ways to take your money.

As a contributor there are many issues that we find frustrating, like: - the core business of paying to contribute to agencies, ( like somebody ask money to get a job, similar situation ) - when there are bonus or datasaset payments on each agency , sometimes every month ( shutterstock ) or twice or more a year ( getty, deposit, adobe, pond5 etc ) , we never got any extra payment for our assets ( so it means that they get the money keep it ), -missions are very bad organized and paid a lot less than in adobe/getty, and the communication in general is very unpolite. Its a very bad rated distributor in the world of stock contributors and artists, look in you tube ( not the sponsored by them of course ) and in forums and you will find more answers.

I'm purchasing a one year premium membership plane but it can't work. After contacting the support team, he asked to wait 24 hours and it will be updated. But I'm waiting 4 days it's not working properly. I'm sending an email about my issue support team not responding. Every time I select an external marketplace it's repeating to buy a premium membership? How many times do I purchase? Support team response within 24 hours before payment after payment they are not responding more than 3 Days After the payment I saw overall review in DISCORD members/customers everyone facing issues Customer service not responding everyone Does anyone know about this?

Lol, this is just a clever scam concept—nothing more. They’ve found a way to rip off photographers in a “legal” way. Just stay away from them; they’re shady.

All of sudden, this month my sales and earnings decreased by 90-95%.. How can from 1-2 video sales for a day to 0 sales in 22 days? It clearly shows they are not updating sales and stealing money from contributors... edit1 (29th July 2025): Adobe stock earnings updates daily, and this month no sales update after 1st July...and no sales update from all agencies after 16th July 2025...and you saying this is normal? and as I said Its clear that my sales and earnings decreased by 90-95%... Usually I earn at least $50 a month...and sometimes more than $100 a month... this month I earned only $5... and I mailed Wirestock support, earnings graph for months from more than 2 years...and asked if that looks normal by comparing with this months earnings with previous months earnings?? and no response....
