Category: Digital Assets / MarketplaceVerified for 2025

Top Recommended Replacements

Envato Elements

Best Value Upgrade

Why we like it

The 'Netflix' of assets; $16.50/mo for truly unlimited downloads of 60M+ assets (stock video, music, fonts, WP themes); includes AI tools in 2025; simple commercial licensing.

Keep in mind

Does not include the 'Premium' high-end WordPress themes found on ThemeForest; no item support from authors.

Creative Fabrica

FREE

Best for Designers/Crafters

Why we like it

Aggressively priced (often ~$47/year on sale); massive library of fonts, SVGs, and graphics; includes 'Spark' AI tools; free trial gives 10 downloads; allows commercial use on almost everything.

Keep in mind

Weaker on code/web templates compared to Envato; search interface is cluttered.

FreeDesignResources

FREE

Best Free Alternative

Why we like it

High-quality curated freebies; excellent for mockups, fonts, and UI kits; no subscription required; clear license terms for each item.

Keep in mind

Smaller library; you can't rely on it for specific niche needs (e.g., 'Dentist Website Template').

Gumroad

Best for Creator Support

Why we like it

Buy directly from the designer/developer; often includes access to private Discord communities for support; better for niche, high-quality UI kits and Notion templates.

Keep in mind

No central search (you have to find creators on Twitter/YouTube first).

Motion Array

Best for Video Editors

Why we like it

Superior video assets compared to Envato; includes a 'Review' tool for client feedback; plugins for Premiere Pro come included; owned by Artlist (high quality audio).

Keep in mind

More expensive than Envato Elements ($29/mo) if billed monthly.

UI8

Best for UI/UX Pros

Why we like it

The 'Premium' tier of design assets; highly polished Figma/Sketch kits that are actual production quality (not just pretty pictures); used by top agencies.

Keep in mind

Expensive (kits can be $98+); the 'All Access' pass is pricey.

Unsplash / Pexels

FREE

Best for Stock Photos

Why we like it

Completely free, high-resolution photography; easy to use; no attribution required (though appreciated).

Keep in mind

Everyone uses these photos, so your designs might look generic.

IconScout

FREE

Best for Icons/Lottie

Why we like it

Massive library of 3D illustrations and Lottie animations; integrates directly into Figma/Canva; 'Unicons' set is free and open source.

Keep in mind

The best 3D assets are locked behind a subscription.
