Pros & Cons
Shutterstock AI Image Generator
- Genuinely important licensing clarity from training on legally licensed datasets
- Affordable entry pricing ($7/month for effectively 400 images) via Generative AI Plus
- Unlimited Plus bundles AI generation with the full traditional stock library and other media types
- Standalone AI Image Generator plan ($15/month) costs more than the bundled Generative AI Plus tier for AI-only needs
- Full media bundle access requires the pricier $69/month Unlimited Plus plan
- Generation volume (100 requests/400 images on Plus) may be limiting for high-volume users
Alpha3D
- Converts existing product photography rather than requiring new 3D-specific photo shoots
- Scales across a full product catalog rather than one item at a time
- Supports AR try-on use cases directly relevant to eCommerce conversion
- Accuracy on reflective, transparent, or unusually shaped products can be inconsistent
- Should be tested on real product photography before catalog-wide adoption
- A distorted 3D model of a real product is a more visible problem than in creative generation use cases
