With so many stock photography sites out there it’s hard to choose one that offers high quality stock images and photos for a reasonable price. Today I’ll be reviewing Dollar Photo Club as I’ve been using them for roughly 6 months. Dollar Photo Club is relatively new but offer tons and tons of high quality royalty free stock photos and vector images. They claim to add 100,000 images every single day.
Dollar Photo Club Pricing
The whole idea behind Dollar Photo Club is that every image is $1. No more and no less. They work on a membership platform with 2 plans. Their monthly membership is $10 month and includes the following:
- Membership fee $10 for a month
- Includes 10 high-res image downloads
- Unused downloads transfer month to month
- Additional images for $1
- No hidden fees or commitment, cancel any time
- Business-ready royalty free license
- Application review time: Up to 1 hour
- Average acceptance rate: ~30%
So to break it down, for $10/month you can download 10 high resolution images. If you don’t download 10 images in a single month the credits carry over to the next month which is nice since not everyone needs 10 images in a single month. In some cases you might need more than 10 images so any additional images you want are simply $1. Depending on the image you’ll get the Jpeg version and the EPS version which you can edit using Adobe Illustrator. For $10/month this is a great option for someone looking for high quality stock images without paying a ton of money upfront.
The second plan option is their Annual VIP Membership which is $99/year. The VIP plan includes the following:
- Membership fee $99 for a year
- Includes 99 high-res image downloads
- Unused downloads transfer year to year
- Additional images for $1
- No hidden fees or commitment, cancel any time
- Business-ready royalty free license
- Instant access! No review time, full acceptance!
- 100% acceptance rate
I chose this option as you save some money and have one upfront cost. With the VIP plan at Dollar Photo Club you get 99 image downloads and any unused credits transfer to the next year. This plan also allows you to purchase additional images for $1 if needed.
Dollar Photo Club Quality
The quality of the stock images are simply amazing. They have a massive library of high resolution images catering to web designers and bloggers who need images for their website. I’ve used many stock photography sites including many free ones but nothing has come close to the quality of the images at Dollar Photo Club. Their website is easy to use and browse images and adding images to your gallery is super easy. The gallery is where you can save images that you’re interested in. You can have multiple galleries for different projects. For example I have a gallery called ‘vector icons’ and I save icon images I plan to use at some point. The search option on their website allows you to find photos, illustrations and also vector images. I’ve found the search to be quite accurate and using multiple search terms seems to work great. On the dashboard you can easily see how many image download credits you have remaining so you know when you need to top up your credits.
The Dashboard Features
With a simple dashboard you can see how many image download you have left, view your download history, view your purchase history and request support as well. They have a toll free number you can call or simply shoot them an email. On the dashboard you are presented with a search box to get started. Once you hit search you are presented with your search results with images and from there you can add them to an existing gallery or create a new gallery. You can also download an image you like directly from the search results page.
Dollar Photo Club Review
Overall out of all the stock photography sites I’ve used I have to say Dollar Photo Club nailed it. They have a huge library of quality images and two simple plans. You either pay monthly or yearly with no commitment. You can cancel your plan at any time. Having used their service I had to write a review as it’s difficult to find the best stock images at such a great value.
