Are you kidding me? Scammers! How can you auto-subscribe me for a one-year plan without me agreeing on that.
Worst company ever!

Simply, a rip-off
February 13, 2022

Extremely expensive, basically lock you up for a year with stupid fees. The longer you stay with them the more you will have to pay to get out.

I would not take my time to write this review if it wasn't true: DON'T GO WITH SHUTTERSTOCK! If you get a subscription with them it is very hard to get out of it without incurring more fees.

Customer Support only aiming to charge you as much as they can before they lose you. Better look for alternative websites.
