Pond5, acquired by Shutterstock a couple of weeks ago has launched subscriptions.
‘Subscriptions are activated at the moment of purchase and include ten downloads per month from the media included in your subscription. Each time you download an item, we will confirm that you want to use your subscription to download the item.’
‘If you don’t end up using all of your downloads for any month, don’t worry! Any unused downloads will automatically rollover to the next month. You can keep up to 20 downloads on Music or Music & SFX subscriptions and up to 120 downloads on the Footage Plus subscription.’
