Depositphotos
The site offers great deals on royalty-free high-quality images that are perfect for any type of project. I love how easy it is to search through the different categories to find exactly what I need. The site has an intuitive interface that makes it easy to navigate through the different categories or sort by date or price range.I also like how easy it is to download the files I need without having to worry about any additional fees or monthly subscriptions. I prefer the image download pack, where you pay once and then you can download selected images of your choosing from their library whenever you need them! This site has been very useful in helping me achieve my creative goals in terms of making my own films and creating beautiful graphic designs for websites or advertisements.

Storyblocks
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
Depositphotos
  • Search function is accurate and robust.
  • Selection is different from the most used free image sites. The quality of the images is professional and high resolution.
  • Their search filtering options are useful to match the type of image you are looking for. Let's you choose the type of person you want in the background, landscape versus isolation, orientation, etc.

  • There is an increasingly growing call for UHD (4k) video

Different focus. InVideo is for editing and creating videos

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
