Adobe Stock vs ProductionCrate

Adobe Stock is a stock library with more than 900 million images, videos, audio, templates, and other assets. Subscriptions include standard images, templates, 3D assets, and music; most plans also include HD video. AI Studio lets users edit stock images and videos before licensing and downloading them. Its tools can change colors and moods, alter image ratios, replace backgrounds, animate still images, and make text-based edits. Plans include commercial-use licensing. Adobe Stock works on the web, Android, and iOS, and provides API access. It can be used independently, or connected with Creative Cloud to preview, edit, and license assets in Photoshop before purchase. Team subscriptions pool licenses among members and are described for small to midsize businesses. Enterprise plans add configurable access, advanced administration, and deployment for midsize to large organizations. The Standard License generally limits print runs to 500,000 and excludes items for resale; larger runs or resale use require an Extended License. A seven-day trial is available, but there is no free plan. Prices for the listed plans are not provided.

ProductionCrate is a library and toolset for VFX artists, creators, filmmakers, and motion designers. Its resources include visual effects footage, 3D models, royalty-free music, and plugins; the service says it hosts over 10,000 custom-made HD production resources. Free accounts can use basic libraries and download up to five items per day. PRO provides access to all libraries, higher-quality downloads, three times as much exclusive content, and faster CDN downloads. The PRO plan costs $49 a month and allows up to 50 downloads per day. FootageCrate materials are available in ProRes, MP4, and PNG sequences for import into Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Nuke, and After Effects; the homepage describes video encoding up to 4K. ProductionCrate Portal installs, manages, and updates plugins, and includes an asset manager for downloaded media. FootageCrate Blender connects assets to Blender through a web link. Downloaded materials may be used in commercial or non-commercial projects, but the asset files themselves cannot be redistributed.
