Getty Images Enterprise Solutions vs. Lilt

Working in the medical field it can be difficult to find specialized imagery without shooting it yourself in-house however Getty has a pretty vast library. They've also done a nice job staying up with 'mask' imagery during the current COVID pandemic which my organization had a very high demand for. You will also find the photography to be more diverse than competitors and their search engine's suggestions are usually pretty spot on.

Lilt is a great platform for translating and reviewing content for mainstream languages that are spoken by a large number of people such as Spanish, French, etc. in which case the machine translation tool does a great job of adding the appropriate fluency, grammar, and punctuations. The QA checks also likewise provide apt feedback with rarely any errors. The only shortfall for Lilt is when the content to be translated belongs to any non-mainstream languages (such as regional Indian state ones) and the most noticeable errors are thrown by the QA check tools which have several long-standing unfixed bugs.

I could probably rattle after a dozen 'stock' photo companies that tout claims such as '$1 downloads, etc.' but don't bite on them, their libraries are extremely limited and you'll end up seeing photos you've used all over the place. For example, we once used a woman for a magazine cover who I also saw on a Southwest flyer, a Home Depot ad and on a poster at my kid's school all within a few months. It waters down your brand.
