With Dollar Photo Club Closed, Finding an Alternative is Imminent

dollar photo club logo The Dollar Photo Club is one of the best stock photo agencies in the market. It offers only the highest resolution files with royalty-free license. It also offers a variety of premium collection with over 100,000 photos and vectors added every day. With DPC, members can choose between annual and monthly membership without hidden fees and commitment. They can also enjoy downloads that never expire. It is no wonder that the stock is the world’s top photo club.

If the DPC is so great, why is it closing? The website was acquired by Adobe’s very own photo agency. Thus, it is terminating its services in April 15, 2016. By then, many creative users will become orphans of the stock site. Fortunately, the Internet is filled with stock photo sites. They can check out other website to see if they suit their creative needs and budget. With the Dollar Photo Club closed, finding a better alternative becomes more inevitable.

After two years of business, the stock site has finally decided to terminate its services. It offers its existing members a voluntary choice of transitioning to Adobe Stock or finding another agency. While Adobe Stock is a great stock site, it is not as affordable as DPC. It defeats most creative users’ reason of joining the latter. The Dollar Photo Club offers premium quality images for only one dollar each. Transitioning to AS means they have to pay 10 times more.

What should they try instead?

dollar-photo-club-screenshotWhile there are a few websites that offer images in very low prices, nothing is as close to the Dollar Photo Club than Stock Photo Secrets’ 99 Club. Here are some of the similarities between the two:

  • Both websites offer royalty-free license with their image collection. The license already include model and property releases. This allows creative users to use the assets in any project for as long as they like.
  • With DPC and 99 Club, downloads never expire. Users can use their downloaded images forever. Both yearly plans offer high quality images with option to download additional images when users exceed the allowed downloads.
  • Both stock agencies also offer high quality images in small, medium and XXL. XXL files can be used confidently with printed materials at A3 size with 300 dpi.

With these similarities, DPC members can easily cope with the closure through 99 Club. The latter offers almost the same features and benefits, and much more. While the DPC offers 100 images in every 100 dollars, 99 Club offers twice more with 200 for $99. Users also do not have to worry about the website closing because it is not associated with DPC or Fotolia. It is a separate company that only offers the same product.
