## Stocksy Reviews
  ### 1. Seriously Cool Stock Photos

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Cory P. | Account Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 19, 2019

**What do you like best about Stocksy?**

These photos are more stylized than the ones you buy on the other stock photo sites. If you need photos that aren't boring then Stocksy is a great site.

**What do you dislike about Stocksy?**

There aren't as many photos as there are on some of the largest stock photo sites, but I think this is actually a good thing. They only have the best images on their site. The prices are just a little above the "average" sites, but not by much and the photos are so much better.

**Recommendations to others considering Stocksy:**

If you want more stylized photos go to Stocksy.

**What problems is Stocksy solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Not only are the images way cooler than most of the ones that you find on other sites, but you don't have to waste your time literally going through thousands of "average" photos to finally find a good one. All of the photos are Stocksy are excellent.

  ### 2. Stocksy is the answer to a boutique stock photo experience

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Chelsea V. | Social Media Specialist, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 05, 2019

**What do you like best about Stocksy?**

Like a local boutique, Stocksy has a select few images to choose from that convey the message and tone of my social posts and flyers. I use stock photos periodically and the brands I market have certain aesthetics and personalities and I have enjoyed the selection and uniqueness of Stocksy's inventory. High quality is key and Stocksy is my first source.

**What do you dislike about Stocksy?**

I know high quality comes at a price, but if you are looking for value in your message, sometimes you have to pay a little more. Time is money so it takes me less time scrolling through "not quite right" options, but Stocksy is a proven source what the exact image I am looking for.

**Recommendations to others considering Stocksy:**

Stocksy is perfect for unique projects that are looking to feature creative photos that reflect current image trends. Whether it a website redesign or ad campaign.

**What problems is Stocksy solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have particular brand standards and personalities that we manage and consistency is important. We also don't want to overuse an image that everyone else has for the social platforms. Our clients are unique, elegant and relatable.

  ### 3. Stock photography that doesn't look so "stock"

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 04, 2019

**What do you like best about Stocksy?**

It's the closest thing to getting custom photos taken for our organization. The photos are much more natural and "modern" for lack of better term. 

**What do you dislike about Stocksy?**

The pricing is a little bit higher and there is no monthly subscription pack option.

**Recommendations to others considering Stocksy:**

Monthly subscription option

**What problems is Stocksy solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Great photos for our website and blogs
