Shutterstock drops billing toggle, shows From prices on all three plans
What happened
Between the Sep 21, 2026 and Sep 28, 2026 captures of Shutterstock's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Yearly/Monthly/No contract billing toggle removed from top of pricing page; all three subscription plans now display prices prefixed with 'From' instead of a single fixed monthly rate. Pulse files it as a packaging change (package change) with a neutral direction. The current page lists Image downloads at $25, Unlimited Images at $29, Image packs at $29 subscription and Unlimited Plus at $69.
Shutterstock's previous recorded change was "Shutterstock Enhances Enterprise Offerings with Custom Licenses, AI Features, and Increased Asset Library to 500M+" (Q2 2024). Before that Pulse recorded "Shutterstock Implements Major Pricing Overhaul: Shifts from 'Credits' to 'Downloads' and Removes Free Trial Option" (Q1 2024). Shutterstock has been tracked since 2024-10-01.
In the same window Canva, Getty Images and Adobe also changed their Marketing & Content pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
