Excellent service

Photospin has been our go-to image resource since 2001 and they have always given us the best value for our money.

Great value for your investment.

It may have a higher entry price than other services that only ask for a couple of dollars to start purchasing photos, but in a matter of days, as I required more photos for my different projects and presentations, Photospin totally paid itself. The only small drawback is regarding the image tagging / keywords, that sometimes doesn't return related images or require several tries to find relatively easy subjects, but its a smaller concern.

Subscription Renewal

You started automatically charging the credit I used for the last payment without even bothering to email me a renewal notification a few days before doing it. You also make it very difficult to prevent this from happening each year. Your business practice gives honest online businesses a bad name.

Reply from Photospin

We’re sorry for your frustrations with the auto-renew function and apologize for any inconvenience it has caused you. We added the functionality to our site after receiving a huge request for alternate payment plans. Prior to going live with the new options we alerted our customers to the new process in an email that went out to all of our subscribers prior to launching this feature last year. We will make sure your account does not get auto renewed from this point forward. Please let us know if we could be of further assistance and thank you for your continuing 5 years of membership. Thank you.

Average

The cost is alright, the images are a little below average quality compared to other stock photo sites

Nice Images and Great Price

Photospin offers a nice selection of stock photos and the cost per image is very affordable. They offer subscriptions but I opt for single image pay-as-you-go option. I appreciate that they have this payment choice available. I highly recommend their service.

Very Happy

I have no complaints with my purchase. The process from searching for and then buying/downloading was a breeze. The price was good and overall I have no regrets.

Photospin is easy to use.

I like that there is a large variety of photos, all low-priced, and all available in a variety of sizes. The search engine is easy to use too because each photo has several tag words.

The quality and subjects keep getting better every year.

I have been with Photospin for a while and continue to be impressed with the quality of choices I can make ~ while keeping the subscription rate affordable. It is a great place to get ideas and then finalize with a high resolution image to help move the message.
