How Much Does Depositphotos Cost in 2026?

Depositphotos's pricing strategy is 'Shutterstock for less.' Credit packs at $19 for 30 credits ($0.63/credit) are cheapest entry-level pricing in category — even Envato Elements requires $16.50 monthly commit. Monthly subscription tiers: 25/mo at $69 ($2.76/asset), 50/mo at $99 ($1.98/asset), 75/mo at $149 ($1.99/asset). Compare to Shutterstock 50/mo at $49 — Shutterstock is actually cheaper at this tier. Depositphotos wins on the credit-pack end (small volume) and loses on the subscription end (large volume). Library is 250M+ assets — second largest after Shutterstock — but quality is mixed. The Signature-level curated work found at iStock or Adobe Premium isn't substantively present here. For general marketing use (blog posts, social media, internal presentations), Depositphotos is fine. For brand-critical work where image quality matters, stick with Shutterstock/Adobe/iStock Signature. Video and music are sold separately. Editorial library is limited — don't use Depositphotos for news/events/celebrity content. Team plans are custom. Where Depositphotos wins: cheapest credit packs in category ($19 for 30 credits), 250M+ asset library is 2nd largest, credits don't expire with annual account access. Where it loses: library quality mixed vs Shutterstock/Adobe, Editorial library thin, 7-day free trial requires paid signup (not pre-payment).
