MB Michael B. Digital Director Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 6/6/2023 "Good images if the plans fit your usage style" 2.5/5 What do you like best about Bigstock? Their pricing model of a flat fee for a certain amount of images per day or per month is great if you are regularly consuming a lot of images and want to have them available at a good cost. I ended up stopping my subscription because my image usage slowed down and I felt like I was losing money when I didn't use my credits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Bigstock? The subscription service offers unliimted downloads per day or per month, but the credits don't roll over, use them or lose them. Their "image credit" option give you a high per-image cost (between $1 and $3.50, depending on how many bulk credits you get.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Bigstock solving and how is that benefiting you? Their image library is unique enough that if you use them, you get images that aren't all available in other platforms, so you can feel like you get a fresh set of images. When I was using A LOT of images, I found their subscription model to be very cost effective for my agency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Digital Marketing Manager Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/3/2023 "The best place for stock images" 5/5 What do you like best about Bigstock? There is really a non-stop flow of images from Bigstock. They have high-quality images and someone can usually find whatever they need to find there. There are almost too many images to sort through! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Bigstock? There are some areas of Bigstock that they are lacking in. Searching for more niche stock photos can prove difficult, but that isn't necessarily Bigstock's issue. There are also some weird NSFW images that pop up even with the filter on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Bigstock solving and how is that benefiting you? Needing images for trade show magazine social media posts that are as niche as water quality companies can be hard to find. Bigstock has a wide array of images that I use on the daily.

Marketing Specialist Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/25/2023 "Bigstock offers a HUGE library of images" 4/5 What do you like best about Bigstock?

The monthly subscription price is very reasonable if you use a lot of stock photos and graphics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Bigstock?

Bigstock has quite a lot of good images - photos and illustrations. You can add images to lightboxes for ease of finding later. If you don't add images to lightboxes, it makes it more difficult to find the ones you've already purchased. (They appear in a chronological list.) You can re-download any images you've already purchased for no extra fee. Images are available in multiple sizes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Bigstock? If Bigstock had more search options it would be really powerful. It is sometimes difficult to refine one's search sufficiently to find what one needs. While the video library has some quality stock videos, I'm not sure it is worth the extra expense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Bigstock solving and how is that benefiting you? We use images all the time for learning courses and often have to find very specific ones - for medical conditions or showing older adults being cared for by others. Bigstock has awide enough selection that we can usually find what we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Marketing Specialist Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 12/8/2021 "Great Stock Photo Options; Poor Subscription Plans" 3/5 What do you like best about Bigstock? BigStock is excellent for finding a multitude of stock photos AND videos! There is a wide range selection of content, even if you're looking for something out of the ordinary. It has a combination of graphics, photographs, and videos. I have found most of what I need for my promotional marketing purposes on BigStock. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Bigstock? Although I love the selection of BigStock Photos, the subscription plan is very below-par, in my opinion. The plans give you a certain amount of images per month, but if you don't use them, you lose them! Some months I need a lot of images and some months I don't need any. I feel like my subscription can be wasteful if I don't make a point to log-on every month and look for images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Bigstock solving and how is that benefiting you? Because we do not have a professional photographer on staff, BigStock has been a big help for supplementing marketing materials. I can easily find realistic, on-brand images for our marketing purposes. This takes the pressure off of me to capture photos in our facility all the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
