We think Storyblocks is the best service in the market, but we’re biased… so we asked AI for help. The following is a conversation between our Director of Performance Marketing, Lauren Zoltick, and Artificial Intelligence Language Model, ChatGPT.
Lauren Zoltick: Can you recommend an affordable stock footage subscription service?
ChatGPT: As of my last update in September 2021, some stock footage subscription services offer more affordable options compared to others. However, pricing and offerings may have changed since then. Here are a few stock footage subscription services that were known for being relatively affordable:
1. Storyblocks: Storyblocks offers a subscription-based service that includes access to a library of stock footage, audio, and images. They often provide cost-effective plans for creators looking to access a broad range of content.
2. iStock by Getty Images: While Getty Images is generally known for its premium content, iStock offers a more affordable option for stock footage. They have a pay-per-credit system and subscription plans that can be budget-friendly.
3. Pond5: Pond5 is a marketplace for artists to sell their footage, and they offer a wide variety of pricing options, including budget-friendly options. You can find many affordable clips on their platform.
4. Shutterstock: Shutterstock has a vast library of stock footage, and they offer different subscription plans at various price points. Their more basic plans can be relatively affordable while still providing access to a good selection of content.
5. Motion Array: Motion Array provides access to a growing library of stock footage and other creative assets through a subscription model. Their pricing is often considered reasonable for the content they offer.
Please note that “affordable” is subjective and depends on your specific budget and needs. I recommend visiting the websites of these services to check their current pricing and offerings to find the one that fits your requirements best. Always read their licensing agreements to ensure the usage rights align with your intended projects.
Lauren Zoltick: Of these options, is there one you recommend most?
ChatGPT: As an AI language model, I don’t have personal opinions or preferences. However, based on general feedback and popularity as of my last update in September 2021, Videoblocks by Storyblocks was often recommended for its affordability and the variety of content it offers in its subscription plans.
Storyblocks’ subscription model allows you to access not only stock footage but also stock audio and images, making it a comprehensive resource for content creators. They often provide flexible subscription plans at different price points to suit various budgets.
That said, the best option for you depends on your specific needs and preferences. I recommend exploring the websites of the mentioned stock footage subscription services to compare their offerings, pricing, licensing terms, and libraries to find the one that aligns most with your requirements and budget. Additionally, checking more recent reviews and user feedback will give you an updated perspective on their services.
Lauren Zoltick: So it sounds like Storyblocks is the winner here. Can you tell me 5 reasons I should sign up for their subscription service?
ChatGPT: As of my last update in September 2021, Storyblocks (formerly known as Videoblocks) was indeed a popular choice among content creators for stock footage. While I cannot provide real-time data, here are five reasons why you might consider signing up for their subscription service:
