Overall Satisfaction with iStock, from Getty Images
iStock has a wide variety of imagery and I can almost always find what I'm looking for or better. I feel that they keep their selection fresh and updated and I like the way the search tools work, the purchasing packages, and it seems to just work great for my business. I prefer iStock over other stock platforms for all these reasons.
- search features
- similar image search features
- style
- fresh assortment - updated and on trend
- wide variety
- I would like to see more creative/experimental/boundary-pushing content
- ability to download an example without a watermark would be nice - to try it out in a design cleanly before purchasing (but I realize why this is not done)
- variety
- fresh selection
- ease of use
- iStock makes it easy for me to help our clients get great imagery at minimal cost
- clients appreciate that there is no roadblock to obtaining great imagery
- its efficient ease of use makes it easy to use on the fly
Compared to these others I feel that iStock has better variety and selection, better ease of use/interface/search features, fresher selection, and better pricing options. I don't like that Adobe Stock only has subscription options (last I checked) and I do not use them for that reason. I don't like the interface of Shutterstock as much and it's harder to download a test image to try out.
