Scammy trash
July 16, 2022

Scammy trash thieves. Will only allow downloads with watermark... AFTER signing up for paid account. Total waste of time

Thank you for your review. Our site provides access to a free trial plan for premium images that allows you to download free high-res comp images and after you upgrade your plan the images will have their watermark removed.

This is a trial plan and comp images are the norm in the stock photography industry for test purposes.

We also provide a free section, https://www.dreamstime.com/free-photos where you can download a certain number of images for free or upgrade for unlimited downloads (over 1 million) at a very low monthly price. Since our website caters the largest community in the world we simply cannot provide all content for free, because we have to pay the bandwidth costs and, most importantly, the photographers who create and upload the content. Thank you for your patronage, please email us if you need extra information about the above or about our discounts.

Good platform

High level of sales. Pleasant deductions. Shutterstock competitor. It's nice to deal with such a microstock as an author.

I don't want to pay in Costa Rican currency, but can't figure out how to change it. AND every time I pay, you switch me to autopay, which I hate.

I'm sorry to hear about the issues you're facing with the currency settings and the autopay feature, Cynthia K. It sounds frustrating, especially when your preference is not to use Costa Rican currency and you're looking to avoid automatic payments.

Adjusting the payment currency and managing payment settings should be straightforward options on the Dreamstime platform. Since it appears there was an attempt to resolve this through the Sitejabber Resolution Center without a response, I would encourage reaching out directly to the customer support team of the service you're using. They should be able to guide you through changing your payment currency to one that suits you better and help you adjust your payment settings to avoid unwanted automatic subscriptions.
