Why does Outshinery Studio use Shine Credits?

Outshinery Studio prices every service in Shine Credits instead of quoting each project in dollars, for three reasons.


Set prices for a set deliverable. A Product Shot is 1 Shine Credit, and it buys the finished image in JPG, PNG, and layered TIF. A Lifestyle Image starts at 2. A vintage update is free. You can look up the cost of any request before you send it, with no quote round trip.


One budget, many brands. A subscription puts a pool of Shine Credits on your organization, and you spend it across any brand or project inside that organization. Marketing can approve the annual amount once and the team draws on it through the year.


Lower cost at volume. The larger the plan, the less each Shine Credit costs: $129 one at a time, down to about $95 on the largest annual plan.

Outshinery Lite works differently. It is $29 per image at checkout, with no Shine Credits.
