    • I agree that you can't move the # of articles down. So pick carefully. I didn't break it out, but you're totally right - if you are paying anything, it would have to be universal...

    • I'd note, though, that the FT model has not won them a lot of fans. They started with 30 monthly articles for free, then dropped it to 20; now it's down to 3. I think this approach can work...

    @Eileen - The starter version of the Archive with 50MB of storage is free. The other tiers have a fee

    @Krishna - This competes directly with Getty. However, unlike Getty, at PhotoShelter, the photographers get to decide the prices of their photos (Getty determines it on their site). Getty is much hated in the industry since it pushes prices down a lot. While this may seem like a good thing, in the end, it is self-defeating: low prices mean that the photogs won't upload their best images and so buyers won't find the best images.
