DO NOT SUBSCRIBE, I CONFIRM, IT'S A SCAM!
This company is a scam! The downloads don't even start and they don't allow you to get a refund for the services! The "free trial" is not free! They don't want to give you a refund or give you the option to cancel despite all the service issues. They don't offer a monthly fee! They advertise it as monthly but charge you an annual fee! Consumers should be protected and the company sanctioned! This company is truly scandalous and is trying to clean up its image with ARTLIST.
Artgrid is a scam!
Artgrid is a scam!
Do not sign up - they will take money form your account every year even if you email to cancel it (there's no cancellation option on the website).
I downloaded videos from artgrid and I…
I downloaded videos from artgrid and I got a logo ARTLIST on all the footages so its useless after I was promised on the license that I will be able to download always footages for free... what a disappointment
This company is a scam!!!!
This company is a scam!!!!! Do not sign up with them! Free trial" is not free! Good luck getting a refund or them canceling your subscription. They do not offer a monthly fee! They advertise it as monthly but they charge you a annual fee!. They should be placed on every financial institutions watch list! This company is disgusting.
Be aware - Very poor experience.
Be aware. They don't send subscription renewal notification emails. We had an annual subscription, and by the time we noticed that the subscription was renewed, they would not refund the payment even though we had not used the service for almost a year.
You can't even manage your subscription on your account page, no cancel button or instructions. Instead, you have to search on the help site and then send a message to ask them to cancel the subscription. Very poor experience.
Top company with amazing high quality…
Top company with amazing high quality content.
I am a contributor to this stock site.
I can tell you the review process is professional and they demand the maximum quality from their contributors.
Everytime I browse the library I can find amazing clips, really inspiring and unique.
I think that for the price they charge the deal is really good of what you get.
Artgrid.io is a scam
Artgrid.io is a scam . It just debited my account for £197 that I never subscriebd or authorise. DO NOT DEAL with this company. THEY ARE FRAUD. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CARD NUMBER
This company is a scam - DO NOT SUBSCRIBE!
THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM. Do not make the mistake of signing up for an account. I signed up and cancelled before my one year renewal because I was not using it. I received a message from them saying my subscription was cancelled and I would not get recharged. However, once the renewal date came around, my credit card was still charged. I reached out to customer service 3 times and have not heard back. They do not have a phone number available anywhere on the site. And their email address is hidden in FAQs (you really have to dig for it). I have now wasted at minimum two hours trying to contact them. I am still trying to resolve this but will most likely have to contest the charge with my credit card company which is an additional hassle.

I was billed for a recurring yearly account I did not authorize.
Takes couple weeks to catch up support…
Takes couple weeks to catch up support but got my money from subscription back. Actually has good footages, but kinda expensive
Non-Authorized payment, no billing support - feels like scam
Correction after 2 weeks communication. REFUND ACCEPTED ------------------------
However still a good idea to have auto-renew option ON-OFF directly from your account.
No one is answering to my email for refund. Auto-renew option is by default and THERE IS NO OPTION to stop it from your account. Paid $299 for one more year WITHOUT my permission and there is no contact with the support team for cancelling and refund.. If you want to cancel the subscription you'll have to stop your credit card with the bank, because they will use it for years... as it looks like.
Would give 0 stars if possible
Would give 0 stars if possible. I have been waiting to hear back to get my full refund as I was also made to think that this was a monthly plan, not an entire year subscription. Their website states you have 14 days to get your full refund, so I am really hoping that they pull through and respond to me before then, but after reading these reviews I am losing hope.
Expensive but kinda worth it.
To be fair, yes, this is quite expensive so if you're not prepared to pay 200-300 dollars, don't sign up. But!! I began using Artgrid in April 2022 and it has been proven useful! It's a great alternative to platforms that only have the standard stock video stuff. I like videos on here because some (or at least the ones I use) look more authentic. The price could be a teeny bit cheaper OR maybe there should be a monthly plan since I don't download videos on here every day but until then, I'll have to make do.
Was fooled by thinking it was a monthly…
Was fooled by thinking it was a monthly subscription instead of annual subscription.
the website advertises a monthly price and when I realized my error... I contacted Artgrid for a refund. Artgrid declined since I downloaded some stock footage. ok I said refund 11 months and charge me for 1 month.
never again. even though I have paid for a full year. I won't use their service due to their poor customer service.
Good experience overall
Great footage, easy to use, but be aware of the autorenewal process. Just email them in time. I found cutomer support very responsive and effective. The interface should give the option to de-select auto renewal hence 4 stars and not 5 stars.

Poor management. Avoid this website.
There is no cancel subscription button on their website unless you contact them directly. Not to mention that the subscription information is being hidden intentionally. What’s worse, it is very difficult to get in contact with their customer service. It took me couple of emails to make then reply and cancel my subscription. And, they still charged me after I canceled.

This site is a scam
This site is a scam. It tells you that the first 7 days is a trial. You can't do anything except look at footage. You have to pay for the sight to actually download footage. If you download the footage

I cannot even get the site to load
I cannot even get the site to load. Every other video will work but most did not even allow the sample to.work. I would pay for it if I could ..and I could use it .. but oh well

A huge con - Do not sign up
A huge con. You're advised you can sign up for a 'free account' when after you attempt to do so, you get stung for an entire year. Cue arguing with Art Grid for several days whilst their skeleton crew eventually decide to refund you. Having used Envato, Istock, etc these guys are absolute cowboys in comparison.
Total con - avoid like the plague.

You need to pay a full 1 year subscription in order to get their 30$ or whatever / month price.
This is clearly a scam.....
