How this list is ordered. Specifiction scores each tool on how fully its maker documents it, whether its prices are published, where the research puts it, the platforms it runs on and whether it can be tried for free (how we rank). Makers can also buy a numbered place (how Specifiction is paid for).

Adobe Stock, ProductionCrate, and Pexels are among the services to compare. Check resolution and download allowances against your production needs, and review license terms for the intended use. API access may also matter if you plan to source video through an integration.
