Group pricing with individual/admin logins. Can see corporate purchases as a whole, plus each seat's purchases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iStock?

Nothing really. Pricing is always an issue for small companies and this was a significant increase from our Thinkstock subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iStock?

Definitely the most valuable thing are the filters feature, they are amazing and you can virtually find any picture you have in mind for your project Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iStock?

Most of the times The pricing is out of my budget. I work for small business and the customers set a tiny or zero budget for pictures. Probably they need to create version for small companies and startups Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"For when you need anything"
5/5
What do you like best about iStock?

The best thing about Getty Images is that you can be sure to find any type of stock photo you are looking for without it seeming like one of those cheesy free stock photos you find on all the sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iStock?

The pricing is a bit expensive, especially if you don't tend to reuse any images and you are a freelance artist who doesn't have a large production budget behind you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Getty gets us the images we need at a decent price"
5/5
What do you like best about iStock?

We've been using Getty for stock images for quite a while now. We really enjoy that they have pretty much anything we can think of, and lots to choose from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iStock?

I think the main thing we dislike is that there is too much to sift through sometimes. We'll be looking for something super specific, and if you don't have the correct keywords, you'll be searching through pages of pictures trying to locate what you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
