    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.

    Simplified is best suited for blog writers, e-commerce professionals, sales and marketing related tasks, social media posts for professional purposes, creating organizational level documents such as technical reports, memorandum, company bio and job description. Simplified is not an ideal tool for graphics and video related content. The pricing is also a factor. Sole proprietors and startups may not be able to afford their monthly and/or annual plans

    Cons

    • 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

    Usability
    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
