User Testimonials
	Reuters Pictures	Shutterstock
Likelihood to Recommend	Thomson Reuters Reuters Pictures are great for newsletters, emails, and social media posts when we want to showcase a relevant story or share unique and striking imagery for any marketing pieces. Incentivized Bethany Patterson Director of First Impressions Read full review	Shutterstock It is best suited for medium enterprises who get a lot of workload for their video productions and have many clients but lack of creative individuals. because it is a bit expensive than other competitors, but for some studios having good budget and looking for improving their work quality then shutterstock is the best platform with very good quality and quantity of graphics, photos and videos. for small studios who are just starting out i think it is bit costly you can even go for some subscription based platforms which offer unlimited downloads but their is a bit downside you will have to compromise with quality of work. so in short if you have a decent budget then shutterstock is best for your creative needs.

Pros	Thomson Reuters Searchable photos Variety of options Unique photographs Incentivized Bethany Patterson Director of First Impressions Read full review	Shutterstock Large library with a great variety of high quality images "Similar images," "same model," and "same artist" suggestions to help you drill down your search for the right image Handy editing tool that lets you save your custom image sizes Incentivized Bill Kerschbaum Owner Read full review
Cons	Thomson Reuters Option to view more photo thumbnails Additional search filters Free options Incentivized Bethany Patterson Director of First Impressions Read full review	Shutterstock i think the pricing is still higher than other platforms locating right files is sometimes difficult here like the search results could be better Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Thomson Reuters Reuters Pictures has the most current stock photos, with a wide variety from across the world. It's got a clean layout on the website, and easy search options. Incentivized Bethany Patterson Director of First Impressions Read full review	Shutterstock Very comparable to iStock. In my experience, there isn't a huge difference between the two, but I like the way Shutterstock' provides suggested images for drill-down searching - iStock's suggestions are more limited. Shutterstock's pricing may be better as well, although it's been a while since I've compared the two. Incentivized Bill Kerschbaum Owner Read full review
Return on Investment	Thomson Reuters Improved marketing More relevant imagery Less time spent on content creation Incentivized Bethany Patterson Director of First Impressions Read full review	Shutterstock it improved our work quality it helped us to handle multiple projects as catered our creative needs well due to faster project creation our business scaled Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
