Top Rated Pond5 Alternatives
34 Pond5 Reviews
When I just need the right clip, the right photo, or the right song I go to Pond5. Even though it's great to get things for free from other services, I usually end up spending five times the amount of time trying to find something that fits my needs. And for a very low cost I can skip all that search time and just get what I need for my project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes certain video clips can be very pricey and the project just doesn't have the budget for that piece of media. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Pond5 is one of my go-to website for stock videos and photos. I have previously used its resources on my project. They also have a good collection of 3D models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Since it's a marketplace and every creator is doing hard to keep up with the quality, there is nothing I dislike about pond5. My experience was decent with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the ease of use that Pond 5 has. They have a good variety of content and at fairly decent prices. I enjoy their archival selection as not many stock libraries have this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes the quality isn't always the best. Other than that I can't think of a ton to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I liked the vast selection of choices for video and music that I was seeking. I create teaching and marketing videos and want a resource that gives me lots of choices but at prices that fit my budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only thing I didn't like was trying to understand the licensing policy and whether or not it fits my use case. I found the langue to be a bit confusing. Having clearer explanations would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best thing about POND 5 is we can get a quality standard video stock, music, after effects files, and 3d for 3d animation-related projects, We are getting quality work on Pond 5, and it is pretty easy to navigate, and the price of items listed here are reasonable as compared to Shutterstock and other companies. Its offers a membership program which is good if we compare the quality work here. The licensing is very simple here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If i talk about dislikes, the library of pond 5 is quite limited, and it needs to be bigger and also, the monthly subscription plan is quite expensive, but the annual membership plan is good. Also, some changes should be implemented to the add to cart page so that it could be better, but as compared to the quality standard and the annual membership, I would definitely recommend pond 5.

The most helpful thing about Pond5 is the easy navigation and search filters. I can very quickly find a great After Effects animation for my project. The hover previews make skimming over the content a breeze. Not to mention the reasonable pricing that doesn't break our department budget.
Pond5 also provides the details and specs of each file, so you know what you're getting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Unfortunately, there is no free content available. In addition, not all project files are flexible when the user is editing, so there isn't much creative license available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love that Pond5 had an array of different choices to select from. When I'm making my videos, I look for very specific things that correlate to my work. Pond5 had that and more. I was interested to search many categories and find that I other ideas pop up in my head that Pond5 inspired by their collections. The site was easy to use. Paying for music was easy.

I don't really have a dislike about Pond5. Obviously, it isn't free, but that is fine. People should be paid for their work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Good search features and ability to rapidly sort/listen through music tracks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A bit more expensive than my other main source. This makes them a 2nd source vs primary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the variety of pricing and the ease of navigation the most. I also like the weekly "free" footage clip of the week in their weekly e-mail newsletters.
Video wise, there are a lot of options available to you. It's easy to find the type of video you want through searches that target taglines. Mostly good quality all around. They thankfully offer 4k and ProRes.
Music wise, they put together a variety of sounds for various genres such as "Ambient/Background", "Documentary", "Video Game", "Dramatic" etc. You can also navigate tunes by describing the mood you are looking to convey. It is also easy to license music too. They make it very easy to understand and license according to your distribution needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Fair warning, there are A LOT of corporate stock footage and tunes. The less corporate / general footage or sound you want, the higher the prices gets too. There is no one price with high quality footage at Pond5.
I am often looking for something less corporate / something with more depth and that is hard to find here. If you're looking for footage or music for corporate backgrounds or presentatations, this place will fit your needs perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
