Artgrid vs. iStock

Artgrid is a subscription-based stock footage platform that offers filmmakers and content creators access to a vast library of high-quality, cinematic video clips. Launched in 2019, Artgrid has quickly become a go-to resource for professionals seeking diverse and inspiring footage to enhance their projects. The platform emphasizes story-driven content, providing users with collections of clips that follow a narrative arc, thereby facilitating more cohesive and engaging storytelling.

Founded in 2000, iStock created the crowd-sourced stock industry and became the original source for user-generated stock photos, vectors and illustrations, and video clips. For more than 15 years, we've given our artists a platform to make money with their passions by licensing their stock content to businesses and individuals around the world for use in a wide variety of projects. Today we remain an industry leader and key destination for creative business professionals who want to make a big impact without breaking the bank. We believe that imagery has the power to move the world.
