Unlimited stock assets on one subscription
One subscription covers footage, music, sound effects, fonts, mockups and project templates for Premiere and After Effects, and the licence on anything you have already used survives you cancelling. For somebody publishing weekly it replaces four stock accounts. Quality is uneven, and finding the good file takes longer than the price suggests it should.
Our note
Worth it at the annual price and hard to justify at the monthly one. Count how many separate stock bills it actually replaces first, because the honest answer is usually two rather than the four the pitch assumes.
Only on this side
Brand templates with the logo locked down
Marq exists for the problem where somebody outside the design team has to make a flyer and must not be able to move the logo. Templates lock whichever parts carry the brand and leave the rest editable, so a franchise or a chapter can localise a poster without redrawing it. The product came out of Lucidpress and kept that job when it changed name.
Our note
This is bought for the lock rather than for the drawing, and if nobody is going to misuse your logo you do not need it. The former name, Lucidpress, is still what half the internet's tutorials call it.
