How to Choose the Best Pricing Plan For Buying Stock Content

There are 3 types of plans that 123RF offers:

  1. Subscriptions (Monthly and Annual) A subscription plan allows you to download a monthly limit of stock images or vectors. The quota for downloading resets on a monthly basis.

  2. Download Packs Download packs last for a year and gives you the freedom to download images and vectors at your leisure.

  3. On Demand Credits Similar to download packs, these too last for a year, however, you may license even more everything 123RF has to offer from stock photos, images, vectors to stock footage, video clips and audio files. You may also get extended licenses with 123RF’s On Demand Credits.

With that in mind, how do you decide which one to go for?

Here’s a checklist of questions that will help you figure out the best pricing plans for your projects:

Click on the yellow bars below to expand the information you need.



WHAT type of stock content or media would you need?


123RF provides 4 different types of stock content, we have stock photos, vector illustrations, footage and audio. Is there is a possibility that you might want to use all four types of stock content in your visual marketing? Do ascertain which type of stock content you’ll be using primarily.


HOW OFTEN will you need to use stock content?


Do you have a constant need to buy stock over a long term basis? A subscription plan would be most ideal for you.

OR if you only need to download and use stock content every week or month, then a Download Pack would be your best bet.


USAGE: Are you incorporating the stock content into a product for sale?


You’ll most likely require an extended license for the content used. For example, let’s say you’re intending to print 100 t-shirts, or 50 mugs with an image from 123RF’s stock library.

Here’s How You Can Decide:

Once you have determined exactly what you require, how much and how often, you can start choosing the perfect pricing plan that won’t burn a hole in your wallet.

Choose On Demand Credits if:

  1. You need all forms of Stock Content, like Royalty Free Images, Photos, Vectors, Editorial, Stock Footage and/or Music.

  2. You want to use 123RF’s stock content on products or packaging that’s meant for sale and require Extended Licenses

  3. Need only a few images for your creative projects.

  4. Need flexibility in downloading content anytime you want within the year after purchase.

An Image Download Pack is best suited for:

  1. You only need Royalty-Free images or vectors only

  2. Need only a few images for your creative projects.

  3. Need flexibility in downloading content anytime you want within the year after purchase.

Otherwise, a Subscription plan would suffice when:

  1. You only need Royalty-Free images or vectors only

  2. You have a constant need to download content over a long period of time
