Overview

Storyblocks is a stock subscription for video, music, sound effects and templates, with unlimited downloads of the stock library. Its pricing page now also lists an AI Toolkit (video editing, video generation, image generation and voiceover, with monthly credits) and a Storyblocks MCP, both included in the plans.

What the plans include

Per its pricing page, the $21 a month individual plan (billed annually) includes footage, templates, photos and 3,000 AI credits a month. The $30 plan adds music and sound effects and voiceover with 4,500 credits, and the $40 small-business licence has 6,000 credits. Business plans for teams are quote-based. Storyblocks describes its library as 100% human-made stock and says the AI Toolkit is powered by industry-leading models.

Before you subscribe

Check the licence for your use, because small-business and business licences differ. The MCP is listed on the pricing page so confirm which assistants it works with in its documentation.
