If you’re in the market for stock photography you’ll definitely want to make a stop at SpiderPic, a stock photography search and price comparison engine that reveals huge disparities between photo fees.

How big of a disparity? If you check out their sample page you’ll see disparities as big as $350 between the lowest price and highest price for an identical stock image. When you search with SpiderPic you’re directed towards the least expensive version of the photo you’re looking for in the size you want, so you’ll never end up paying $400 for a stock photo that’s being sold for $40 or $100 for one three other vendors are selling for $5. SpiderPic searches Fotolia, iStockphoto, Dreamstime, BigStockPhoto, and other large stock photography suppliers.

If you’re looking for free stock photography make sure to check out previously reviewed EveryStockPhoto and FreeRangeStock . Have a favorite photo-search tool of your own? Let’s hear about it in the comments.
