| Licence information: Lets you set Free and paid, Paid only or Free only, and compare prices across sources. The licence is still granted by the source site, so check it before use. | Licence information: The Usage rights filter limits results to images with license information, supplied by the hosting sites. Google warns that images might be subject to copyright and that the license details must be verified at the provider. | Licence information: Most photos, illustrations and videos are royalty-free: one payment per download, with use within the licence agreement. Getty no longer offers rights-managed licences for creative images, and existing ones remain valid until their term ends. |
| Search methods and filters: Keywords, uploaded or pasted photos, and image URLs to find the source. Filters combine free or paid, photo, vector and graphics type, orientation, and, according to the site description, subject isolation, free area and dominant color. | Search methods and filters: Keyword and image-based search with filters for usage rights. | Search methods and filters: Search within its own collection. |
| Abdeckung: Many agencies at once, so one query shows what several libraries offer. | Abdeckung: Very broad, but unlicensed images appear next to licensed ones. | Abdeckung: One catalogue, so the offer is narrower but the licence terms are uniform. |
| Cost and risk: The aggregator helps to find the lowest price, but prices and licences are those of each source and may change. Check the final image against your initial price criteria. | Cost and risk: Searching is free. The cost lies in verifying rights per image. | Cost and risk: Paid licences. Using a file without a licence is copyright infringement and can create liability, according to the Getty licensing help page. |
