      Hellu Ritul,

      Royalty free means the same buddy. No copyrighted images.

  • Fauzul, August 6, 2013 @ 2:15 am Reply

    It really looks like a great service but I’m not yet ready to subscribe. Would love to if I could or if they’d make a very affordable plan for budding bloggers like myself.

    • Abhi, August 6, 2013 @ 9:01 am Reply

      Fauzul, I guess you didn’t read the article. They do have some programs for bloggers. Visit the site and read more about it.

      You can contact them about your prblem.

      • Fauzul, August 6, 2013 @ 12:46 pm Reply

        Yes I did read your article but I wanted to subscribe their service at an affordable price.
        The programs for bloggers requires a review to be made or to hold out a contest for visitors. There’s nothing mentioned about affordable pricing for bloggers though is there?

        • Abhi, August 6, 2013 @ 1:57 pm Reply

          Yes, Fauzul, I was talking about review thing. I think, it’s pretty good deal. In exchange with a small review you get something from them.

          And if you don’t find that interesting, you should contact them and let them know if you have anything else in your mind. You might find another way out. Good luck, buddy.

          Let me know if I can help you with something.

          And thanks for coming back.
