Our own rate, for reference
AutoKeyWorder's best rate is $0.0080 per image (Power pack, 5,000 credits for $39.99). That is not the cheapest in this category. MicrostockerPro undercuts every tier we sell, and above about 12,000 images a month AI Keywording does too. Every tool on this page hands the metadata back as a file or a CSV. We type it into the upload form on the platform instead, which is the part you are choosing between.
