Flickr Pro Is Back
Today, we’re excited to unveil the new Flickr Pro for both existing and new members of our community, a subscription that offers improved stats, brings back our Pro badge, offers a discount on Adobe software and more.

Flickr members who don’t currently have Flickr Pro can purchase it today for $5.99/month or $49.99/year.
First, there was regular (free) and Pro ($25/year for no ads, unlimited storage, and extra features). Then there was Free, Ad Free ($50/year for no ads), and Doublr ($499/year for 2 TB instead of 1 TB). Now, Ad Free is called Pro again and adds the statistics features, free shipping, and a 20% discount on the Adobe Creative Cloud plan for Photoshop and Lightroom. The other difference is that the old Ad Free account only removed ads when you were logged in, whereas with the new Pro account:
Your photos, whether viewed by you or a fan, will never be shown next to an advertisement.
Which is a good thing because the ads seem to have gotten a lot more intrusive lately. And I often view my photostream when logged out to make sure that the privacy settings are correct.
