Victoria Hoete-Dodd Content Specialist Chose MarketMuse N/A Incentivized Helpful?	Pixabay Verified User Anonymous Chose Pixabay We selected Pixabay due to its affordability, clear licensing, and vast range of imagery that fit our needs. Unsplash and Pexels were on par for affordability and licensing, but we felt Pixabay had a broader range of content. Shutterstock and Getty were coat prohibitive for our … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Pixabay In my opinion, stock photos are kind of all over the place, depending on how specific of an image you're looking for.

Jordan Marturano Marketing Director Chose Pixabay I think that Fotor is my favorite because of the way it allows the easy editing and collection of pictures.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Pixabay I use Pixabay in 2 scenarios. The first is when I've done a bunch of searching on iStock already and can't find anything.

Shelby Bass Creative Chose Pixabay Pixabay is free, easy to use, and has images, videos, vectors, illustrations, music, and sound effects—basically everything you need to make content on a budget.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Pixabay Pixabay is a very user-friendly site, and feels less 'business' orientated and approachable. The graphic designers that used it got to grips with it very quickly and found a decent range of stuff. However, there were occasions when we needed to go somewhere else to find the … Incentivized Helpful? James Miller Director of People Enablement Chose Pixabay Pexels is very high quality but has a less professional collection of images. Most of the images in Pexels feel like they would be more at home in a local coffee shop or Millennial hangout. While Pexels' image offering is stunning, the images do not fit in alongside data sets … Incentivized Helpful? Winona Harrod Graphic Designer Chose Pixabay Pixabay is adequate but needs to up its image game in order to compete with other free stock sites, which have more extensive and better quality imagery available. I personally moved from using Pixabay to other free image sites due to the quality and range of images not … Incentivized Helpful? Tara Brueske Vocal Workshops and Voice Development Chose Pixabay The thing I like about Pixabay over Canva is the music available and the photos are not the same ones that Canva has.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Pixabay iStock doesn't offer free options. Hence we use Pixabay more often, especially with a tight budget. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Pixabay Pixabay is my starting point for any image search as it provides cross-over/reference to other sites but isn't so overwhelming with images. I feel with the other sites I could get lost in the endless pages of stock imagery, especially when they seem so similar. Incentivized Helpful? Philippa Schwarzkopf Digital Product Manager & Content Coordinator Chose Pixabay Pexels is the closest competitor to Pixabay and I did sometimes use both.

Likelihood to Recommend	This tool is extremely powerful for comparing your content to competitors. Additionally, as mentioned previously, the tool is also helpful for finding additional angles or elements to include in content as-you-write. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Pixabay is excellent for those trying to create content on a budget, whether for yourself or for a client. It has a huge library of high-quality images and videos for use in creative applications. Beyond that, Pixabay also has a library of free music and sound effects, which is enormously helpful for people trying to create content on a budget without worrying about getting in copyright trouble. Also, due to the fact that you can sort images by "transparent," it's easy to find cut-out images to use in composites. Shelby Bass Creative Read full review
Pros	It provides an invaluable heatmap comparing your article to top-ranking articles on the same topic. It gives you an idea of how many times a particular phrase should be mentioned in an article to be considered authoritative. Incentivized Victoria Hoete-Dodd Content Specialist Read full review	Pixabay License: Pixabay has its own license which allows the use of the content for commercial and personal use without any attribution. However, attribution supports the talented creators behind the content. Pricing: Pixabay is completely free for everyone. High-resolution: Photos and videos on Pixabay are of high resolution, especially several videos in 4K, which makes them perfect to use in bigger projects.

Cons	Would be nice if the connect feature was domain swappable A better way to save and import queries would be nice Having some writing tool integrations would be nice Verified User Anonymous Read full review	One thing that kind of sticks out is that with so much to choose from, you can feel overwhelmed. Some of the photos I sometimes can find separately by googling. In the music business, it seems like many photos rotate on the web so there isn't as much to pick from. I didn't see an option for more vertical videos for use in Instagram or TikTok. Incentivized Tara Brueske Vocal Workshops and Voice Development Read full review
Support Rating	The support I have received from all MarketMuse staff at each step of the process has been excellent. They are very friendly, quick to assist, and also provide really good training to teach you how to use their product. Additionally, their own blog is a wealth of information regarding different aspects of content marketing, from articles to video interviews.

Alternatives Considered	MarketMuse has some necessary as well as unique functionalities for content optimization. There are so other tools in the market which are also doing the same thing as MarketMuse is doing.

Incentivized HM Shuja Producer Read full review	Pexels is free and fully licensed for commercial use, as is Unsplash to a certain extent. I generally open all 3 to search for free stock images for budget-sensitive clients; that being said, I always find myself searching Pixabay first. They have the best user interface of the three and generally have the best image options. Adobe, Shutterstock, and iStock have better images, and I use those for clients who are less budget-sensitive. Incentivized HL Hayden LeMaster Owner/Operator Read full review
