    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.

    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.

    If you're looking for quality professional images for sales and marketing collateral, presentations, social media pages, and graphics, it's great. If you have a very specific industry or subject, sometimes it is too cumbersome to find what you need. They need a better variety of people in their images as well.

    Storyblocks is perfect for your advertisements, films, music videos, and any type of video media. It's also great for still imagery. I can't imagine someone not being able to find suitable material for their creative or corporate project. The best part is that with a subscription, you can download UNLIMITED assets. That's absolutely incredible, as most other stock sites require monthly fees as well as enormous costs per video purchase. With Storyblocks, every picture, song, sound effect, and image comes to you at no extra cost. It's not quite as good as iStock. I've used both, and the quality of iStock is ultimately superior. But for Storyblocks' convenience, it's almost as good.

    Pros
    Adobe
    • Presents a huge collection of distinctive graphics with all sorts of options to fit the user's particular need of the day.
    • Allows for easy grab-and-go, cut-and-paste of the sample proofs so that a graphic designer can work up an idea and present it to the team before purchasing it.
    • Operates a user-friendly platform so that team members who haven't used the program but is suddenly needed to jump in on a project can figure it out quickly.

    Cons
    Adobe
    • I really do wish Adobe Stock would offer editorial-based content. There are no historical photos, photos of world figures, or other event-based content. We have to go to Getty for that.
    • Their video offerings are OK, but there is room for improvement.
    • The current enter-level monthly plan does not provide for any video downloads at all.

    • There is an increasingly growing call for UHD (4k) video
    • For audio downloads from favorites folders, I'd like to see a zipped or compressed option

    Usability
    Adobe
    the user interface is very basic their filter function is difficult for beginners to use although after sometime of use you wont find any problem in that, their library is good but again. they still have to work on their library volume with current quality standards. apart from interface which is a personal perspective everything is amazing in this platform.

    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 our subscription. I prefer Adobe's curated resources over other services. Adobe Stock's filters make finding the right image easy.

    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

    • I used stock photos for my blog posting on medium and website creation. I found adobe stock a very amazing site for high-quality images.
    • It has resolved the issue where I would spend countless hours looking for a photo on Google or other stock-image websites, no other stock photos website is perfect and stunning like Adobe Stock. Overall, it's a fantastic time-saver.
    • Overall, I found images impact more than words while blog posting on medium and other social media, so I can say that Adobe Stock helps me in growing my startup…
