Envato Elements
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.

Motion Array
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.
Why people weigh these two
- Motion Array instead of Envato Elements
- Motion Array narrows the catalogue to templates and footage built for video editors specifically, starting at $10.99 a month against Envato's broader $16.50 bundle.
- Envato Elements instead of Motion Array
- Envato Elements covers templates, footage, music and fonts on one unlimited subscription, the closest direct match to what Motion Array's Everything plan bundles.
Which one should you pick
Pick Envato Elements if an annual commitment is fine and the catalogue needs to stretch past video into fonts, mockups and general design templates. At $16.50 a month billed annually it is a third cheaper than Motion Array's Everything plan, and the licence survives cancelling on anything already published. Paying month to month erases that advantage completely, jumping to $39.
Pick Motion Array if Premiere or After Effects is specifically the editor, and the plugin suite regular users say they would miss is part of the draw. Everything is a flat $24.99 a month with no annual commitment required, cheaper than Envato's month-to-month rate even though Envato wins on an annual commitment. Buying two Motion Array categories separately costs more than Everything, so anybody needing more than one library should skip straight to it.
Common questions
- Is Envato Elements cheaper than Motion Array?
- Only if paying annually: Envato is $16.50 a month billed annually against Motion Array's flat $24.99. Paying month to month instead, Envato jumps to $39, which is more expensive than Motion Array's Everything plan at any commitment length.
- Does Motion Array offer an annual discount like Envato does?
- Not described in its pricing; Motion Array's $24.99 Everything plan is stated as a flat monthly rate with no annual-billing figure given. Envato's $16.50 rate specifically requires an annual commitment, with a separate, much higher $39 month-to-month price.
- Which one includes fonts and mockups?
- Envato Elements does, alongside footage, music and editing templates. Motion Array is scoped to what a video editor runs out of specifically: templates, presets, LUTs, footage, music and its own plugin suite, without fonts or mockups described.
- Is Motion Array's plugin suite included in Envato's price?
- Motion Array's own plugin suite is a named reason regular users stay, bundled into its licence. Envato Elements does not describe an equivalent bundled plugin suite; its templates are for Premiere and After Effects rather than a proprietary plugin set.
