Simplicity was our design goal for Vivozoom and that goes for pricing too
9th February, 2010 - Posted by admin - 1 Comment
We took the path less travelled when designing vivozoom. We wanted to simplify the search and buy experience and felt that the time was right to offer just two resolutions, print and web. We offer these in essentially three packages, pay as you go, subscription and an ‘Enhanced License’ booster that removes traditional (May I use that adjective for such a young industry?) Microstock restrictions on prints runs, prominence etc..
Other sites had spreadsheets for a pricing page and it was daunting to try and figure out if you were getting a good deal or not. We wanted to avoid permutation melt-down.
Until this week, however, we had not offered a resolution option on Subscription plans. We have now completed our pricing picture with the addition of a web-only subscription model starting at $99 for 30 days at 15 images a day. At a time when choice is fast disappearing and sites appear to be sneaking in price changes, we hope simplicity will be welcomed like a breath of fresh air.

Dear Lawrence,
your price solution simplification is certainly a good thing for the buyers. I’m now talking from a contributor perspective: maybe Dreamstime’s “spreadsheets” are not so easy but I like their revenue system for the pay as you go with credits. All the photos starts from the same initial line, the lower price. Then it’s the market that decides the price: a photo sells, increase its level, its price and finally the photographer commission.
Regards,
roberto
