Storyblocks review

Storyblocks is a footage-first subscription, so read the plan list carefully: music and sound effects are included in Unlimited All Access, not in the cheaper Essentials plan. Unlimited All Access costs $360 billed annually, about $30 per month, or $65 billed monthly, and adds unlimited downloads of 8K, 4K and HD footage, video templates, photos and 4,500 AI credits per month for editing, video generation and voiceover. It carries an individual license with one YouTube channel ID. Storyblocks says anything you create and publish during your membership stays covered forever, but on Individual and Small Business licenses you cannot use downloaded assets in new projects after the subscription ends. The library is described as 100% human-made with zero generative AI content. There is no free trial, though you can browse and download watermarked previews with a free account. Small Business costs $480 per year for companies under 50 employees.
