Overall Satisfaction with iStock, from Getty Images

We use istock images for a variety of media for our learning apps, as well as for presentations to prospective clients. We take images or videos and create gifs and collages to create interesting visual assets that are designed to illustrate tasks or move the narrative forward for the audience.

With iStock you get what you pay for, it's high quality, huge range, and diverse images massively helps my business get exactly the assets we're looking for and a decent price. Pixabay does have a good range of stuff, though nowhere near iStock, and the free images do help to keep costs down. We tend to use both free sites like Pixabay and paid sites like istock to cover our asset choices whilst staying in budget. iStock has the type of assets that can be more unique or tricky to find whereas Pixabay has the generic "tree" "coffee table" type things.

iStock has a huge variety of stuff that allows the graphic designers we work with to have a huge archive to choose from. This lets them have great creative freedom and piece together assets that cover the brief, however the huge amount of variety means they have to be specific when looking for assets, as the brief they're given doesn't always match up with the images chosen- however this is more user error and learning than the product itself.
