JumpStory vs. Shutterstock

The main reason for the low rating is that I was charged without my permission / want, when my supposed free trial ended. At no point was I warned about my free trial expiring soon, nor was I asked whether I want to continue with a paid subscription. In my opinion, that is a very unprofessional and unethical business model, which basically equals fraud.

Shutterstock is ideal for creatives who need images for digital marketing such as websites, blogs, case studies, or presentations. Visual elements can make or break a brand, and Shutterstock has an enormous library with a huge variety of image styles. Yes, there are your cliché stock images that look goofy or fake, but it's easy to find world-class photos and vector illustrations that add authenticity to any brand.

The usability of the platform is average at best.

The customer support did not try to resolve my issue with the accidental charging and the refund I requested. Although they were quick to answer my email.

it is the worst of all options
