What is iStock?
iStock is design tools from Getty Images, based in Calgary, Canada and has been building software since 2000. Affordable stock.
Design tools range from template-driven products a marketing executive can use unaided to professional interface design suites. Be honest about who will actually be using it day to day — buying a professional tool for a non-designer is the most common expensive mistake in this category.
Pricing is published and starts at roughly ₹2,000 per month. Beyond design tools, iStock also covers inventory software.
