It’s interesting to see these agencies reviewed from the buyer perspective. You also did a great job of identifying the different personalities of each agency.

Some notes:

StockXpert doesn’t offer exclusivity, so there’s actually no exclusive images.

Pixmac is a reseller of Fotolia images, so your experience that they had different images must have been the order of search results or that they don’t have ‘all’ of Fotolia’s photos.

The big agency you missed is Shutterstock. They sell via subscription, but you can buy an annual subscription which is very similar to the pay per download model.

Again, nice write-up.
