Be aware that most of the cheap royalty-free photo sites have differing licensing requirements for software. The cheap prices are for print and web use. For software, you usually have to get an extended or electronic license that is up to 75x the cost of a small web image. If your app gets popular or lots of attention, you run the risk of legal trouble.
Established designers know this and will charge accordingly.
