  I know istockphoto is owned by Getty, but I'm surprised to see identical images on both sites with a $300 difference in price tag.

  • it's the insurance model, if you hav ethe means or work at a big agency for big clients that don't give a shit they'll ding you.
    if out of pocket get istock for_niko
  • a fraction of the price. same image, same licence._niko
  • Shutterstock is the same way - if you have a business or agency account everything has a $300 mark-up.evilpeacock
  • ...and the licenses are different. Usually the higher cost means more users can use, more usage options and more "insurance" against claims.evilpeacock
  • What gets me is that a lot of Getty's offerings from all their bought up companies like iStock are mediocre quality — you can get better elsewhere.evilpeacock
  • Its called capitalism, ask deathtrollutopian
