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.

Generated music with a licence attached
Mubert generates tracks to a prompt and hands over a licence certificate with each download, which is the part that matters to anyone who has had a video muted. It also runs infinite streams for people who need background music that never ends, which is what streamers use it for. The free tier requires attribution, and the licence explicitly does not cover releasing a track as your own music.
Our note
Read that restriction before choosing this over a library like Uppbeat or Epidemic Sound. For background music under video it is cheaper and more flexible than either; for anything you intend to release as music, it is the wrong tool.
