How to choose stock photos, icons & fonts tools
Most tools here are licensed stock libraries, and four things separate them.
Pricing model. Unsplash and Uppbeat are freemium, so you can start without paying. Adobe Stock offers a free trial. The rest are paid, with listed starting prices from $9.99/mo for Artlist to $25/mo for Shutterstock.
Media type. Unsplash focuses on photos. Artlist and Uppbeat lean toward music, sound effects and video. Pond5, Shutterstock, Adobe Stock and Getty Images cover several formats. Getty Images also offers editorial images for media use.
Subscription vs. packs. Envato puts unlimited assets under one subscription. Shutterstock offers both subscriptions and image packs, which can suit irregular use.
API and AI features. Unsplash and Freepik offer APIs if you need to pull assets into your own app or workflow. Freepik, Artlist and Envato add AI generation, and Adobe Stock includes AI image editing tools.
Whichever you pick, check the license terms for your specific commercial use.
