Coverr vs Newsflare

Coverr is a catalog of free stock video for creators, alongside an API for stock video, stock music and AI-generated media. Its videos are HD MP4, with some available in 4K. The company says its media is intended for entrepreneurs, dreamers and builders, and reports more than 5 million downloads and 1.1 million views per month. A free, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide license allows commercial and non-commercial use of its videos and music without attribution. It does not allow those assets to be used to train AI, create AI models or datasets, or build a competing service. The API has a free tier with 50 calls per hour and full access, and a production tier with 2,000 calls per hour for live applications. REST API and MCP server integrations are supported. Listed plans are Free at free, Basic at $4.20 a month, Plus at $6.60 a month, Pro at $10.80 a month and Ultimate at $42 a month.

Newsflare is a video marketplace connecting people who film footage with buyers seeking licensed content. Buyers can browse a library that Newsflare says contains over 350,000 videos, or ask its network of filmers to create footage for a brief specifying a subject, location, and deadline. Licensed videos are offered for advertising, social media, television, film, and other digital spaces, with rights-managed commercial licenses and resolutions up to 4K. Pricing depends on factors such as intended use, platform, quantity, and licensing period; Newsflare mentions one-off projects and monthly subscriptions. Prospective buyers can trial its video service or request a free demo, then contact the licensing team to set up a Buyer account and profile. Newsflare also licenses video datasets for AI applications including generative and multimodal models, facial and object detection, and content moderation. For contributors, the company says licensing does not transfer copyright ownership. Creators receive 50% of the video license fee, paid through PayPal or Wise once their balance reaches £25. With creator consent, Newsflare can use Meta and YouTube tools to track copies and may block videos, file takedowns, or claim revenue; this protection feature is currently limited to those services.
