Top Rated Pond5 Alternatives
34 Pond5 Reviews
Pond5 has a deep portfolio of stock footage and photography for commercial use. The pricing is reasonable compared to sites like Getty, so well-worth the consideration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It would be helpful if there were one document (like a superbill) for all previous invoices to access for the end of the project. Also, the upgrade to a full license is somewhat complicated and becomes a negotiation. It would be good to have the full license option right from the get-go.

Pond5 has been my go-to site when I'm in need of music or sound effects but don't want to spend an arm & a leg. Their advanced search tool really fine-tunes the results to specific BPM, length, mood, genre etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It may take a bit more time to scroll though results and find a perfect music track than the more expensive sites like Musicvine or Premiumbeat, which have slightly more consistent quality as you'd expect from their generally higher prices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The prices and bundles are the best for stock footage, plus the stock footage they sell is actually great! They have a unique and beautiful catalog that you can use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The prices are high, but you won't find different prices for stock footage anywhere else. They are slightly cheaper and easy to use than Shutter Stock and other stock websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the quality of the content provided. The choice of resolutions and video sizes really helps to get the right fit for your video. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The number of more niche videos is limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a creator, I'm constantly skimming through stock video sites to find extra shots I need. Pond5 has endless amounts of videos for any project needs. I use Pond5 both to sell stock footage and to purchase stock and have had good experiences with both. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Due to the high volume of footage, it is sometimes hard to find what you are looking for. It is not uncommon for lower quality footage to be mixed in with the high quality footage while browsing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
They have a wide variety of choices to choose from. Whether it's audio, video, or templates, you can find something that would fit your budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only thing I dislike is that when a soundtrack gains popularity and people start to download it more, the prices go up for it. I think they should stay the same price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the different styles of stock video and music. Particularly the music options and search. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As with all stock music providers, it's hard to find unique pieces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The extensive filters on the search page allow me to pinpoint exactly what type of footage I'm looking for. It's very helpful so that I don't have to parse through far too many clips that aren't relevant to what I'm searching for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing leaps to mind as a feature or aspect that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I often use Pond 5 for audio, and their previewing system for listening to audio before buying works great and is easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The prices can be a little steep especially if you are buying many assets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Pond 5 has a LOT of media to choose from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's not easy to find what you need- for instance, if you're looking for broody music, you might have to listen to 30 clips to find one that you're looking for. The other catch is when you sort by most popular (which helps you find the better tracks), you also end up with the music that everyone else is using for competitor projects.
