Chose Adobe Stock
Adobe Stock integrates far more easily into design software (e.g. Adobe XD or illustrator) than products like Pexels and Shutterstock. Adobe Stock generally has one price for full access, whereas Shutterstock offers different pricing tiers for different types of images which …
Pexels offers a free alternative to Adobe Stock, albeit their selection is quite limited and doesn't include vectors. iStock and Shutterstock on the other hand have comparable prices to Adobe Stock, but their selection is far superior. The quality of the vectors, the variety of …
Shutterstock didn't offer the capabilities we wanted as a business, and for most of the people in our division, we hadn't got the right marketing experience to use some of the more complex image retailers. Adobe Stock was linked with Reader and Reader Pro so it was a no-brainer …
For on-demand buying, Adobe Stock wins in flexibility and per-image rates. Shutterstock offers the simpler buying method, though. Shutterstock has a larger collection of stock images, lower prices, and cheaper extended licenses if you buy them in bulk. Adobe Stock is better …
I've always had an easier time finding quality photos I needed on Adobe Stock. Other services like Shutterstock work fine, it's a personal preference for the catalogue of resources that Adobe curated vs other services.
Adobe Stock is heads and shoulders better than Shutterstock. I found myself frustrated that Shutter stock didn't have what I needed or was too confusing to navigate to the original image due to so many low-quality fakes and duplicates. I soon learned that Adobe stock didn't …
The pricing is much better on Adobe Stock with the subscription and the rollovers. It's also a reasonable amount of photos in the subscription, not a ton like the others. Beyond that the pricing per photo if you exceed that is a great value as well. I feel that Adobe Stock is …
Adobe Stock's collection of images and videos is way wider and better than any other image stock. Sometimes the images may not be aspiring or creative, but as you have way more options, it's easier to find what you are looking for. Plus we, being a creative department, use all …

Chose Adobe Stock
Generally, Adobe Stock is cheaper than its big competitors but still has many of the same or similar images, though not quite the breadth of photography/illustrations either. However, it has significantly more options than its cheaper (or free) alternatives as well. The …
Adobe Stock is very user friendly. It’s the only one with full integration into other Adobe products. It’s also much more affordable than others like Getty. While it’s lacking some editorial content, there is a wide selection of images to choose from that stand out against the …
In comparison to other options, Adobe Stock is far more user-friendly. Adobe Stock has helped me find quality photos. One-stop licensing's convenience and variety were important. Instead of buying photos per image, we usually find something similar at Adobe and license it under …
both Adobe Stock and shutter stock fulfill the same function, I believe that both can satisfy their customers, however, the position that adobe has against shutter stock is immense, making there more confidence in adobe, in prices and what it offers each one according to the …
Adobe Stock was given to us as initially an inexpensive add-on to our Creative Cloud subscription. Once the trial pricing expired, we found it so convenient, that we continued subscribing. The convenience of one-stop licensing and its wide variety was key. You do find some …
Adobe Stock was selected by our organisation because it's integrated with Creative Cloud. Adobe Stock offers a more flexible on-demand option and a much longer free trial than other products. Adobe Stock is a good alternative as the subscription has a wide range of photos to …
As I already mentioned Adobe Stock is the perfect place to search for great stock photos. The following is stacked up against them. More than 100 million images Straightforward Regular updates accessible directly within the Creative Cloud platform smart search.
Adobe has more choices, easier to navigate and since we also use many other Adobe products, we are able to negotiate some pricing power. Otherwise, we are still open to other competitors when Adobe Stock doesn't provide what we are looking for.

Chose Adobe Stock
Adobe Stock is very unique and versatile compared to other vendors that we have evaluated because it provides access to the largest library of high-resolution, royalty-free stock assets. The premium stock images, video footage, templates, music, and audio files are incredible …
Adobe Stock has more images available that are permissible to use. Google Images can sometimes be used, but there is always a concern about copyrights and licensing rights. Adobe Stock takes away those concerns and provides a guarantee to our company that we are using the …
The sheer choice is fantastic, and the search function is exceptional. I also like how many illustrations there are, which is an added bonus (ie icon packs). It’s just genuinely been a pleasure using the product and has made finding images so much easier and faster.
Though Adobe Stock can be good for corporate work sometimes they can look very staged Americanized so do not look relatable for a european market. Adobe stock has improved over the 10 years i have used them. I personally like using them most for vector based assets and …
I like Adobe Stock because it's already part of the Adobe ecosystem and I have a login account. Single sign-on is nice. In terms of the volume of assets, it's hard to tell which one has more or better but I like the experience of Adobe Stock and it gives the team great asset …
Some of my favorite pictures that I have gotten have been kid pictures on Adobe Stock compared to other sites. The photographers that sell their photos pick the most photogenic kids. Often times I can find ones that look like they were taken right in our office. Adobe Stock is …
Shutterstock library and pricing is better than Adobe Stock also the preview is far better than Adobe Stock that's why i am still using shutterstock rather than Adobe Stock, their have a huge collections of images, videos than Adobe Stock. also the user interface of …
