Recraft vs Stockimg (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Recraft if

• Fits if you need icons and logos as SVGs you can edit
• Works for Figma and Framer users who want it inside the design tool

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want to sell what you make on the free plan, as free images are public, belong to Recraft and can't be used commercially
• Not for you if video's the point, since Basic covers images only and video starts at Pro for $16
• Tight if your team wants to pool credits, as Teams credits are per seat, with a 2-seat minimum
• Watch out: monthly credits don't roll over, and top-ups at $2 per 200 are sold only on paid plans
• Tight if you stay free: 3 uploads a day, 2 images per prompt and Recraft's own models only

Pick Stockimg if

• Fits if you need logos and posters made from a description
• Works for small accounts that want social posts drafted and scheduled in the same tool

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you need to know the free limits first, since the pricing page doesn't give them
• Watch out: the FAQ says paid plans run $19 to $29 a month, which doesn't match the $12 to $48 on the plan cards
• Pricey if you want more than 300 credits a month: that's $24, and unlimited is $48
• Watch out: only monthly prices were readable, as the yearly toggle's prices aren't in the page text
• Skip it if you want video from the Ultra plan, because the extra video credits are listed on Enterprise only

Recraft
