Setting Pond5 prices for a clip to be used at other agencies?

Does anyone price a clip to be used at multiple agencies with the same price? For example Shutterstock chooses $79 so do you charge that at Pond5 since a buyer may get upset if they paid more at Pond5 but then found it cheaper on Shutterstock, istock, or revostock?

Many do, the best money makers that I have a personal knowledge of do price at or many above SS pricing. When you start getting a portfolio you will have access to artist resources and you can see that dozens of footage are sold here each week for $200 to $500 each. Many artists will not sell at SS because they price well above SS pricing. Only real suggestion is remember your costs; camera, lens, computer, software, internet, travel, models, time and then plan on recovering all those expenses and your profit on one or two sales per clip. Indeed many clips will never sell and some of the best may sell several or numerous times.
Good luck.

SS pricing a fixed price model, so that tells you something about the customer base. My best guess is the markets do overlap, but very little. These companies are aiming for different segments of the market. iS, SS and other fixed price agencies customers being perhaps corporate and organizational and buying on subscription organization wide. They need a more vetted, legal bulletproof product. That's certainly true at iStock. You'll need to do a more comparative search internally here to price your images inside P5, IMHO.

Thanks for the replies!

Is there anyone who use Pond5 and Alamy? Is it possible to use both with the same price?

@mirelaater You can get "close" with RF - the Pond5 percentage breaks are different, but if your work on Alamy is RM then there will be a large disparity.

I don't have many photos (less than 100) on P5 or Alamy yet... but I will most likely take another look, and remove any RM images posted on Alamy from the Pond5 database before I start on the remaining 2000 images.

Hi AcmeStudios, I need to tell it is about footaage video, not photos. Or the story is the same? RM? Rights Managed Licence?

You mean that all the clips with full option RM will cost 999 Euros?

I saw this and I was surprised....

I haven't inquired about sending footage to them yet - and yes RM = Rights Managed.

From what I understand, they do negotiate the RM license fees in some cases, but the pricing you see, is what they feel the image or footage is worth under the usage terms you select.

Ill tel ya what happened to me the other day I had a cart add here at pond5 and then the same day the clip sold at SS.

The buyer was obviously looking for the best price, and I got hosed because my commission here would have been about 40 bucks but since they bought it at SS I got a whopping 13.17

So the question is, would it be better to price my clips lower than 79 here? Because I get paid better here ? The most I've been paid at SS is 23.00 so something to think about.

Earning potential is way better here at pond 5.

The most several of us have made on a single clip at SS is $105. They have some different type of licensing that is great. From NAB, P5 said they were looking at something similar. It doesn't hurt to price a few dollars less. Problem at SS is the smaller web sizes that sell far too often at ridiculous low pricing.

There are some artists here at P5 that will not sell at SS due to their low pricing.
