Envato Elements review

Envato Elements works differently from credit-based stock sites: every plan includes unlimited downloads from a catalog of 29+ million assets, and the tiers differ only in how many AI credits you get. Core starts at US$16.50 a month when billed annually with 20 AI credits a month, Plus starts at US$39 with 200 credits, and Ultimate starts at US$109 with 500 to 2,000 credits. The catalog spans stock photos, video, music, sound effects, fonts, graphics and design templates for tools such as Photoshop, Figma and Canva. All assets and AI generations carry a lifetime commercial license, but each license is tied to a single project. Reusing a photo in a new campaign means downloading it again to register a new license, and starting new projects requires an active subscription. Projects licensed while you subscribed stay covered after you cancel. For teams of 50 or more, Envato sells Enterprise plans with broadcasting rights, custom licensing, tailored indemnification and SSO.
