Shutterstock is known in the stock photo industry as offering only one payment option, subscription options that are best for large businesses or designers who need stock photos and stock illustrations monthly. This payment option has left small businesses and individuals out of the picture until today, with the introduction of On Demand subscriptions that are valid for one year, not just one month.

On-Demand Subscriptions are a small business solution
Shutterstock recognizes that not all businesses have a large budget for stock photos nor do they need 750 stock photos per month. The On Demand subscriptions are fundamentally different from regular Shutterstock subscriptions.
On-Demand Features
- On-Demand Subscriptions are valid for one year, with the subscription owner able to download their maximum image or photo limit for 365 days.
- There are 4 subscription options that provide both flexibility in investment and photo size
- If you use your limit before the year is up, you can just order another one!
This is a great solution for individuals and small businesses who do not know how many photos they may need or do not have a lofty budget to invest in stock photos. The On-Demand subscription still saves you money per photo and makes stock photo prices a reasonable investment for your digital or commercial marketing.

It's very important to note that Shutterstock images are under a royalty-free license, cleared for commercial use, and backed by the agency. This makes them a lot safer to use than other options, such as free images from free stock photo sites, which are often not verified or policed in terms of legality. Using images without a valid license or permission is a serious thing, and it's not worth it to risk being asked to take down an image from your design or even worse, being sued for copyright infringement, when you can buy perfectly legal images from Shutterstock, for a very affordable price.
Final note: On Shutterstock, you can also buy stock footage on-demand, with a single clip, or with a video pack. They now have both Standard and Enhanced Video license packs available, so whatever your usage needs are, they'll have you covered.
