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.

Templates and footage for video editors
Motion Array sells the things a video editor runs out of mid-project: Premiere and After Effects templates, presets, LUTs, stock footage and music, on one licence that covers commercial work. The plugins are the part regular users say they would miss. Buying it by category is cheaper than the Everything plan and worse value the moment you need two categories.
