Envato Elements vs ProductionCrate

Envato Elements is a paid web subscription combining AI creation tools with a library of more than 29 million assets and templates. The catalog covers stock photos and video, video templates, music, sound effects, design templates, graphics, 3D assets, fonts, and add-ons. AI tools generate or edit images and video and can create voiceovers, music, sound, graphics, and mockups. Envato lists compatibility with Adobe Suite, Canva, Affinity, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, and Blender. Stock downloads are unlimited under a Fair Use Policy that bars scripted or bot-driven mass downloads and other excessive use. Each download is licensed for one project, while uses already licensed remain covered after cancellation. Core includes 20 monthly AI credits, Plus 200, and Ultimate 500, 1,000, or 2,000.

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.
