I'm not sure what you are talking about? I don't pay but you can if you want expanded features or more storage. I don't use it that often so it is FREE and ez for me to use. I just have to put this link
http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?selected=451118 and you don't have to sign up to view my album.

So if you don't need a lot of storage or bells and whistles it works fine.
