Announcing Adobe Stock Unlimited Plan

[StockContributors]

Our Contributor community is foundational to Adobe Stock’s success, and we are committed to supporting you with transparent communication. Adobe Stock is launching the first phase of its new Adobe Stock Unlimited Plan to select markets worldwide. Licenses under the Adobe Stock Unlimited Plan will be displayed in the Contributor Portal as ‘custom.’ All Adobe Stock standard assets will be made available as part of this new plan.

We believe this new subscription plan will attract new customers, allowing for a potential increase in total Contributor earnings. We will continue exploring additional avenues of opportunity, exposure, and earnings potential, and appreciate your partnership.

The subscription model is becoming the gold standard for all production of creative material, so it's logical Adobe is also taking that route.

Questions do arise from this announcemwnt. For example:

-will there be different commissions for all type of assets -will these unlimited subscriptions lower the commisions paid today? Will there be different $ values for each category of content?

-do these unlimited subscriptions are limited to online usage? 

Here is my two cents I hope gets passed down to the executive team:  

To ask us for exclusivity for high resolution downloads used for print. That would be a win win for everyone!  Personally, that would be a huge incentive for me to partener exclusively with Adobe Stock.

I look forward to learning more details on to how this will translate in sales revenues for us.

Cheers!

Two questions:

-How much will the plan cost.

- How much will contribors earn per image with the Adobe Stock Unlimited Plan?

Waiting for the answer to this question

It is very unlikely that Adobe will respond to your question here. They rarely do.

And to add to this: we will see this in our Contributor Portal.

Based on the helpx documents that I've seen, the "unlimited" plan is limited to 100 licenses a day, before Adobe supposes illicit use of the subscription.

Sigma adobe.

based on experience and on what other contributors say on other forums  ... the earnings are very low compared to the "traditional" way .... clearly it depends how big is your portfolio ... let's say 100$ monthly for a good portfolio and going down to 30-40$ .... for example 10 cents for 1 video ... and for images you earn less ... yes it's a "shame" but these days the prices are like this... take it or leave it ...

[DaveFX]

just my opinion but these prices are the evidence that the market is saturated, too many contributors, too many videos, too many images for sale and the demand has not grown as much as the supply so also adobe needs to find new markets and do not forget the competition between agencies, also shutterstock launched the unlimited downloads model .....

[VersaTale]

The market looks saturated, but how many high quality videos are there? If you look around old videos dont perform well because technology and art keeps advancing and becoming more detailed and immersive. So as long as contributors keep making good art their earnings should grow, as well as skills and opportunities to be also hired from good sources outside! I think we are just getting exhausted of these AI stuff that keeps distracting everyone lol

[Jill_C]

Our earnings won't grow unless Adobe succeeds at retaining and growing the number of Adobe Stock subscriptions.

There is no experience on other forums. 

[Nancy OShea]

Based on history, bigger plan holders pay more per month but less per asset.

How are the royalties to contributors calculated under the Unlimited Plan?

[videologio]

Lets hope that Adobe will make the difference and it will not shrink its contributors income, like most of the others. Contributors may give their items to many marketplaces, but the marketplace that will win their trust, it will be their first priority about what to create. If its not a win-win partnership, it will not last.
