“A subscription is too much for a few uploads a month.” Pay per image instead
You upload a few photos some months and a few hundred in others. A monthly plan charges you either way. PhotoTager charges only when a file is processed.
Short answer
PhotoTager is pay as you go. 1 credit = $1. Title, description and keywords cost $0.04 per image and $0.12 per video, credits never expire, and there is no subscription. New accounts get $2 of free credits.
What each file costs
| What | Per image | Per video |
|---|---|---|
| Full metadata (title, description and keywords) | $0.04 ($40 per 1,000) | $0.12 ($120 per 1,000) |
| Title & Description Only (also up to 49 keywords and a free iStock list matched to the vocabulary) | $0.02 ($20 per 1,000) | $0.06 ($60 per 1,000) |
| iStock Keywords step (titles must be generated first) | $0.02 ($20 per 1,000) | $0.06 ($60 per 1,000) |

Questions
Is there a subscription?
No. There are no monthly or yearly fees. You buy credits when you want them.
Do credits expire?
No. Credits stay in your account until you use them, so a quiet month costs you nothing.
How much does one photo cost?
$0.04 for title, description and keywords. $0.02 if you only need the title and description step, which also writes up to 49 keywords.
Do some options cost more?
Yes. A custom-prompt template saved from the Playground on a thinking model costs 3 times the normal price per image.
What is the smallest amount I can buy?
The Starter pack is $5, which is 5 credits, about 125 images with full metadata.
