Yay Images Startups Reviews

it's not free, only some images are free but most images are paid

The advertised free download option appears to be unavailable. An upgrade to a paid plan is required to access the download functionality, which contradicts the initial promotional material.

I got notified by copytrack that their client, YayImages, said I was using an image without permission and I should pay 350 euros. I got it from another stock photo dealer - it’s available at at least 3 I know of, including DepositPhotos - and proving this was very simple, but time consuming. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one. They’re hoping you didn’t save anything to prove you have the rights to the image and will just settle to make it go away.

I thought this was a great deal then I started getting copytrack notifications for photos that are available on their site and many others which I have legitimately bought. It's so scammy to go after your own customers. While they like to comment here that there's nothing to worry about if you aren't doing anything wrong, I'm a small business owner with little time and these take time to respond to. I have stopped responding to them at this point... so I guess we'll see if they sue their own customer for using their images. What a joke! Keep away from this shady operator

Advise you guys to stay away from Yayimages as long as they keep using CopyTrack to track any infringements. A quick google about these 2 companies will show you how many innocent people had been "threatened" with lawsuits. Seems like CopyTrack had been sending out mass emails to these people who had stock photos from other companies and looks like a "scammy" way to get money out of others rather than a legit business.
