Chose iStock, from Getty Images
Again, I think when I consider iStock, from Getty Images I think of their tool as one of the more 'traditional' styles of stock imagery, but also one of the more reliable. While other competitors can have what we need 'here and there' I don't know that I can say confidently …
Chose iStock, from Getty Images
iStock in my opinion is probably the leading stock image distribution service at the moment and has definitely become a trusted source for stock images, video, animations and audio. Unsplash has a better library of organic photography but can be a bit lacking as it replies on …
Chose iStock, from Getty Images
With iStock you get what you pay for, it's high quality, huge range, and diverse images massively helps my business get exactly the assets we're looking for and a decent price. Pixabay does have a good range of stuff, though nowhere near iStock, and the free images do help to …
Chose iStock, from Getty Images
Compared to these others I feel that iStock has better variety and selection, better ease of use/interface/search features, fresher selection, and better pricing options. I don't like that Adobe Stock only has subscription options (last I checked) and I do not use them for that …

iStock has a huge variety of stuff that allows the graphic designers we work with to have a huge archive to choose from. This lets them have great creative freedom and piece together assets that cover the brief, however the huge amount of variety means they have to be specific when looking for assets, as the brief they're given doesn't always match up with the images chosen- however this is more user error and learning than the product itself

Alternatives Considered
iStock in my opinion is probably the leading stock image distribution service at the moment and has definitely become a trusted source for stock images, video, animations and audio. Unsplash has a better library of organic photography but can be a bit lacking as it replies on photographers having images of certain styles, though I like the concept and working closely to give exposure to artists. Adobe Stock is a newer service in comparison so it will take time to build the same level in my opinion but I am a avid Adobe user so will watch that space.
