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 Stock Imagery SVG and Vector Assets Video Footage Incentivized TN Tyler Newman Marketing Director 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 The editing tool has recently been updated and it doesn't seem to be working properly right now. But I trust they'll get it resolved quickly Incentivized Bill Kerschbaum Owner Read full review
Usability	Thomson Reuters No answers on this topic	Shutterstock Shutterstock is easy to use. The UI is intuitive. Queries produce applicable assets. My only major gripe with the program is that there are sometimes "preimum assets" that are in queries that I wish there was a way to filter those out as they do not come with my subscription Incentivized TN Tyler Newman Marketing Director 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 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 shutterstock is easy than Adobe Stock Incentivized Verified User Anonymous 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 Allows me to provide more comprehensive marketing services to my clients Saves time hunting for images One-stop shop for all my image needs Incentivized Bill Kerschbaum Owner Read full review
