Shutterstock price (October 2026) and how to cancel
In the US (as of 2026-10-18), Shutterstock sells multiple image, video and AI plans with dollars that change by pack and billing term - Confirm the live total on shutterstock.com pricing/checkout. Public 2026 roundups have shown annual-billed monthly displays such as roughly $25–$69/month for common image tiers - treat those as unverified unless you see them at checkout. Cancel in your Shutterstock account subscription settings (and use the same channel you subscribed with). Annual-paid-monthly plans may have early-cancellation fees - read your plan terms before you cancel.
Uninstalling apps does not cancel. This page is not legal advice regarding the 2026 FTC settlement - it only covers practical cancel steps.
Screenshot your plan name, renewal date and any early-cancel fee before you confirm cancel.
