Vecteezy vs. iStock

Vecteezy is an online marketplace where users can license stock photos, vector graphics, and stock footage directly from artists. Basic features are free but include ads and limitations. Pro subscribers get advanced licensing and a wider selection of content. The company was founded in May 2007 and is owned and operated by its parent company Eezy.com based out of Bowling Green, KY. The Founder & CEO of Eezy is Shawn Rubel who currently oversees the company's vision, mission, and direction.

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.
