Getty launches subscription
Sorry for not posting in a couple of days. I was shooting on-location in a small town in western Pennsylvania and kind of lost touch with the world. Upon return I hear from PhotoTalk that Getty images has finally launched a subscription product called ”Creative Express by Getty Images”.
Getty is offering 50,000 images. While searching I saw many images from the Digital Vision, PhotoDisc Green, and PhotoDisc Blue collections. Users have a choice of a 1 month or 1 year subscription as a lo-res (1-3 mb) or print resolution (10-16mb) with the option to upgrade to a higher resolution image (30-50mb+) with a 10% discount off list price. All subscription users are limited to a maximum of 50 downloads per day. Pricing for the product is much higher than competitors (Photos.com, Ablestock, Photospin, Comstock 1700k, Shutterstock, Index Open, Etc.) so it seems that Getty is positioning their subscription as a premium product.
Pricing for a single user
(1 -3 mb) 1 month $399
(1 -3 mb) 12-months $1599
(10-16mb) 1 month $499
(10-16mb) 12-months $1999
