Considered Both Products	Storyblocks Angel Preciado Multimedia Operations Supervisor Chose Storyblocks Storyblocks has templates for videos and graphics. Adobe does not. Both can integrate directly with Adobe software that we use, like Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, and Premiere. Both allow you to create libraries or lists to save your downloads or favorites to. Incentivized Helpful? Dan DeBruler General Manager Chose Storyblocks Hands down, Storyblocks offers more for your investment. The licensing is straightforward, and provides all the coverage we need to legally offer services to our clients within a budget we can live with. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Storyblocks Storyblocks is significantly better for videos. Pexels is better for photography. Pexels doesn't have audio, so no competition there. I have found these two resources to be complimentary and great to use for client promotions and educational videos Incentivized Helpful? Rick Beck Video Producer Chose Storyblocks Storyblocks is the clear winner against iStock. It's all about unlimited downloads. The content on Storyblocks is almost as good as iStock, but the convenience factor makes it 10X better. Incentivized Helpful?

Incentivized Helpful?	Unsplash for Brands Verified User Anonymous Chose Unsplash for Brands I would say that Unsplash for Brands is a lower-end budget and easier option for projects. Again, if you need something very specific - whether it's in industry, pose, subject, or environment, then you'll likely want something a bit more expensive with a larger library … Incentivized Helpful? Matías Arévalo Larenas Socio y Director Comercial Chose Unsplash for Brands It is easy to use, the interface works pretty well and the recommendation of similar pictures is awesome. Also the quality of the algorithm and filter work great. Incentivized Helpful? Nicole Andujar Senior Graphic Designer Chose Unsplash for Brands The ease of search is always a plus when dealing with client deadlines. Unsplash offers free options for us to be able to provide a wide choice of images for our clients to choose from as well as provide different angles of certain campaigns. We can do several options so they … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Unsplash for Brands Stacks up well offers another option for finding copyright-free images and is directly a part of our program so I don't need to go to an external site to find other photos. Makes it extremely worthwhile to use! Also easy to teach others how to use which makes my job easier. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Unsplash for Brands Pexels is my second favourite license-free photo service. However, is easily bettered by Unsplash. This is because of Unsplash’s superior search functionality. When searching for more than one word on Pexels, it usually focuses on the more popular, keyword out of the two. … Incentivized Helpful? Winona Harrod Graphic Designer Chose Unsplash for Brands Pixel, Wiki Commons Photos, Free photos that sites like Adobe/iStock/Shutterstock have available. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	If I need to edit a commercial spot in a pinch, Storyblocks is my go-to for a quick template to use or even just inspiration. I can find stock videos and images rapidly. They also have an extensive amount of templates for logos and text animations, which come in handy. The search feature is easy to navigate so I can find what I'm looking for rather quickly. I have even started using illustrations from Stroyblocks than our other stock subscription service. Incentivized Angel Preciado Multimedia Operations Supervisor Read full review	If someone is in a specific or super-niche industry, they may not find that Unsplash for Brands is a good option for them. I would say their site and their library of photographic images are a bit more general -- so if you need something stylized, it may not be the place for you. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Scenes with people, various situations and moods Background footage, great for overlaying text and info. Time lapse and unique styles to choose from. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Provides beautiful natural and in action photos Provided royalty free imagery which is great for charities who have a budget or not budget for photography Photos are more stylistic and creative than traditional stock sites like Adobe, iStock, Shutterstock Incentivized Winona Harrod Graphic Designer Read full review
Cons	Allowing the user to click in the middle of a song from the full list instead of clicking it and then going to the bottom of the screen to preview different parts. Continue adding more MOGRT files to be used directly with Premiere. More video clips with model releases. Incentivized Tim Cox, MBA Videographer Read full review	The layout and UX is not as friendly as many other similar platforms. Search engine could be improved. Bulk download would be wonderful. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	I need to learn a little more about the product and its capabilities before I give a higher review. However, the availability of image trending is far superior to Getty or Getty Enterprise. Incentivized Scott Sendelweck Director Employment Brand Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Storyblocks is the clear winner against iStock. It's all about unlimited downloads.

We can use them without fear of being sued afterward, and we don't even have to create an account, just download the image and it's ready to go. When it comes to Pexels' photos, you can photoshop words on them, but sometimes you don't want a photo designed for photoshopping, you just want a photo that's ready to use, such as Unsplash.

Return on Investment	The accessibility of quality audio and video is a time saver The searchable database makes finding high quality video B-roll easy The After Effects templates save our designers time in creating logo and effects packages Incentivized Dan DeBruler General Manager Read full review	Excellent for using photos for content creation, keeps things fresh yet still on brand for our program's needs Ease of use, directly implemented in the program to directly find an image without needing to leave the site Perfect since it's free!
