Photos.com Review

Intro

A subsidiary of Jupiterimages, Photos.com is a big stock photo retailer who carries brands such as Comstock Images, Botanica and Brand X Pictures. Photos.com is setup as a subscription based system aimed at attracting marketing professionals who have a continual need for stock photography. Purchasing a subscription gives you access to download up to 50 photos a day instead of the traditional a la carte method where each photo must be purchased separately.

Positive

If you are a marketing professional or an organization with a marketing team then Photos.com subscription system offers a potential windfall of savings. You will gain access to over 200,000 photos at the cost of a couple hundred dollars a year. Photos.com carries the top stock photography producers thus the potential content to choose from is outstanding.

Negative

The subscription model does not make financial sense for every consumer. If you are an individual or small business looking to obtain a handful of stock photos and images then Photos.com may be selling more then you need. Instead of paying a couple hundred of dollars for a Photos.com subscription try another website where you might find a handful of photos for much less.

Recommendation

Photos.com offers a great deal for marketing teams seeking access to lots of photos and materials. The cost can be easily justified when compared to alternative choices of paying per photo. In addition, Jupiterimages, Photos.com parent company, may offer deals on its affiliate sites.
