I'm also a freelancer. Previously, I had monthly subscriptions to Shutterstock and Adobestock for my graphic design work, t-shirt making, etc. But the money I spent to maintain accounts on both those sites took up a significant portion of my profits. Later I found a much more cost-effective solution by using a third-party tool that is way cheaper. With just one account I can download images and vectors from all those sites. I feel so happy about it and my profits went up.
