Understanding why the price of your subscription may differ from the advertised rate is important for making informed decisions. Below, we explain the key factors that can affect the final price you see at checkout.

In certain jurisdictions, Storyblocks is required to charge Sales Tax on our services in order to comply with your state and local laws. When applicable, these taxes are collected by Storyblocks and are then remitted to the jurisdiction that is assessing the tax. In some countries, digital subscriptions are subject to taxes or Value-Added Tax (VAT). These taxes are added at checkout on top of the plan price, which can make the total cost appear higher than in regions where such taxes are not applied. For example, a tax-exempt region may show a lower total price compared to a region where VAT is required. This is a standard practice to comply with local tax laws.
