Stock Image Sites - any cheap but options?

[valve90210]

Hi All

At work we have recently had some digital signage displays installed and I am having to create masses of 'posters' etc for various events etc.

I'm somewhat reluctant to use Google images to find suitable pictures for backgrounds etc and have been investigating subscriptions to stock image libraries but they're all coming up as really rather expensive...actually let me rephrase that, they're pretty good value for what you get but I know my workplace will baulk at the cost of them!!

Can anyone recommend anywhere that has a really good range of photos but is cheap to subscribe to?

I know there are some sites which are cheap on a per photo basis but Ideally I'd like to be able to have a subscription so I don't have to worry about buying each individual photo as that would take up a lot of time which I don't really have.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Shutterstock, Dreamstime, 123RF, Fotolia, istockphoto are all very cheap.

Shutterstock is £1529 for a year, allowing me to download 25 images a day... or £139 for a year allowing me to download 25 which definitely wouldn't be enough.

Value for moneywise it's not bad but I know I'm not going to be able to get my work to payout that much sadly.

That is about as cheap as you can get for subscriptions.


Dreamstime, is $240 a month at 25 images a day, so 750 images.
If that is too much then Just pay per a download, or scrap the project if you can't afford a few quid an image.
