The platform is designed nice and easy to use but other than that everything else is a nightmare. Their response time, changing the project brief few times a week (after each change all unreviewed sets are getting rejected). therefore 1/5

Scammers. My friends downloaded photos from my profile, but the downloads were never counted. When I contacted support, I received no explanation. Instead, from that day on, my earnings dropped to zero. This happened before they removed the opportunity to earn money from stock photos. I also find this behavior disgusting. I don't understand how anyone can give them good ratings. It happened in 2024 but the system doesn't let you choose 2024.

wirestock never stops amazing me I worked on many projects for this company. The projects I worked for they did not ask for a consent form for the people I submitted for the 95% of the duration of the project. Then later on when they told me that a consent form is needed if the face of the person is visible I said ok, I will stop participating in the projects because it is impossible to get a consent form singed for so many different people. Now I go on to their website, and the work that I have submitted (without the consent forms) is on sale as a dataset. This is such an ethical issue, because I was never told that without a consent form my work will become a public sale object for any company to purchase, and on top of that they have rejected most of my work because of the consent form by the end of the project, but now apparently they are ok with selling large amounts of datasets that may potentially include a lot of sets without a consent form.

I uploaded approximately 5,000 images to Wirestock at the beginning of the year and spent a significant amount of time building my portfolio. After several months, I logged back into my account to check my portfolio and earnings. To my surprise, all of my uploaded images were missing, and there were no earnings associated with my account. My account was still active, but my portfolio appeared to be completely empty. I have contacted support and requested an investigation into what happened to my content. As a contributor, this situation is extremely frustrating because of the time and effort invested in uploading thousands of images. I hope Wirestock will thoroughly investigate this issue, explain what happened to my portfolio, and provide a solution to restore my content if possible. At this time, I am disappointed with my experience and the lack of clarity regarding the disappearance of my uploaded images. Behnam Mirzaie

Hello, how are you? Last month I had 299 sets approved in the Vertex project, but only 285 sets were paid. Normally the balance updates on the 7th and is paid today or tomorrow, but the balance hasn't been updated yet. I'd like to know why it hasn't been updated and paid yet. My tax information is approved and correct, and it's been two months since this project was paid. Please review this now.

Predatory platform. Their Creative Services Agreement is an insult to artists—demanding total anonymity, stripping you of all IP rights, and using your art for AI training for a joke of a fee. On top of that, their website broken on purpose and doesn't allow account deletion, claiming a correct password is 'incorrect'. Avoid at all costs.

I’m writing my review here since Glassdoor never published it. I worked there as a freelance reviewer for six months, not as a creator. The overall experience was awful. There were not enough projects available, which kept our pay low since we were paid per piece rather than by the hour. Additionally, there was very little training provided for each project, and when mistakes inevitably happened, the managers blamed us instead of acknowledging their inability to properly train us. The only positive aspects were the remote setting and the flexible working hours. The work environment was toxic, with a lot of negative competition among reviewers, as everyone was trying to maximize their monthly income. Once they realized they had overhired, they started letting people go, using the excuse that there would be an on-site requirement in Armenia from then on. Never again.

Wirestock ist im Laufe der Zeit immer schlechter geworden. Die Challenges waren früher noch ganz interessant, auch wenn fast immer die gleichen Leute gewonnen haben, wurden dann aber ersatzlos gestrichen. Verkauft hat man so gut wie nie etwas und wenn dann nur im Cent-Bereich. Es lohnt sich einfach für die meisten Creatoren nicht, denn man bezahlt viel mehr an Gebühren als man jemals wieder einnehmen wird.
