I found an unpaid use of an exclusive Alamy image of mine, which was zoomed on 28 January 2021.

My difference is not so dramatic. First 10 from March 2004-Jan 2005 $897.44. Last 10, since 25 Jan to 1 April $624.11.

Lousy month, 3 licences for $114. But lots of zooms. CTR 1.27

4 licences all on the same day. $435.32.

I had three of those + one other for about half the price - exactly the same use details. Nice to have $435 worth of sales drop in together.
