TL;DR

Most teams start by asking how much storage they need. The better question is usually: How do you want your team to work with content?

All Stockpress plans include unlimited users, unlimited teams, AI-powered search, collections, tags, permissions, sharing, and the core tools needed to organize and find content. As your content operations become more advanced, additional plans introduce features that help larger teams, with more complex use cases stay organized at scale, without breaking the budget.

If you’re unsure where to start, this guide will help.

Start with your team, not your storage.

When evaluating Digital Asset Management (DAM) software, it’s easy to focus on storage limits first. Storage matters, but the biggest difference between Stockpress plans is usually how your team works with content.

Ask yourself:

  • Do you simply need a better way to organize and find files?
  • Are you regularly sharing content with other departments, partners, agencies, or customers?
  • Do you need stronger governance and brand controls?
  • Do you want insights into how content is being used?
  • Are multiple teams contributing content into a central workspace?

Your answers will usually point you toward the right plan.

Free: For exploring better content organization.

The Free plan is designed for individuals and small teams who want to experience what modern Digital Asset Management feels like.

You’ll have access to:

  • Up to 10 users
  • AI-powered search
  • Collections and sub-collections
  • Tags and metadata
  • Permissions
  • Share links
  • Basic content organization tools

The Free plan is ideal if:

  • You’re currently using shared drives or folders
  • You’re evaluating DAM software
  • You want to test Stockpress with your team
  • You’re beginning to build a more organized content library

Many teams use the Free plan to understand how Stockpress fits into their workflow before expanding further.

Essentials: For teams that need a central content hub (unlimited users and teams).

From $99 per month

Essentials is where many growing marketing and creative teams begin. At this stage, the challenge is no longer simply storing files. It’s making sure everyone can find approved content quickly.

Essentials helps teams:

  • Organize content across departments
  • Share assets confidently
  • Improve search and discoverability
  • Give more people access to content without adding user costs

Essentials is often the right fit if:

  • Marketing owns content centrally
  • Teams are spending too much time searching for files
  • Agencies and internal teams need access to the same assets
  • Shared drives are becoming difficult to manage

For many organizations, Essentials replaces the chaos of scattered folders without introducing unnecessary complexity.

Vs Free, Essentials includes: Facial recognition, custom branding, file annotations, file statuses, file versioning, custom download sizes, and Tag Categories.

Pro: For teams building repeatable content operations (unlimited users, teams and roles).

From $175 per month

As content volumes grow, organization alone is no longer enough.

Teams start asking questions like:

  • Which version is approved?
  • Who uploaded this?
  • Where is this content being used?
  • Can we automate some of this work?

Pro introduces features that help teams manage content more strategically.

This includes capabilities such as:

  • Smart Collections
  • Guest Uploads
  • Duplicate detection
  • Reporting and analytics
  • Share templates
  • Advanced governance features
  • Enhanced workflow tools

Pro is typically the best fit for:

  • Marketing teams managing multiple campaigns
  • Creative teams handling large content libraries
  • Multi-location organizations
  • Growing ecommerce brands
  • Teams working with agencies and external contributors

If Essentials helps you organize content, Pro helps you operationalize it.

Vs Essentials, Pro includes: AI tagging in video, duplicate file detection, image editing, expiration dates on files, file watermarking, Guest Upload pages, and Adobe integrations including Adobe Photoshop.

Premium: For organizations managing content at scale (unlimited users, teams and roles).

From $225 per month

Premium is designed for teams where content has become a critical business asset.

These organizations often need:

  • Advanced permissions
  • Custom experiences for stakeholders
  • Enterprise-level controls
  • Brand consistency

Premium includes advanced capabilities that support larger content ecosystems, including:

  • Custom Pages and branded portals
  • Advanced reporting
  • Sophisticated sharing workflows
  • Greater flexibility for large organizations

Premium is often the right fit for:

  • Large cross-functional teams collaborating on files of all kinds
  • Brand-driven organizations
  • Multi-brand businesses
  • Universities and education institutions
  • Franchises and distributed organizations
  • Teams managing content across many departments and stakeholders

For these organizations, the challenge isn’t simply finding content.

It’s ensuring the right content reaches the right people at the right time.

Vs Pro, Premium includes: Reports and advanced reporting, File FTP, Custom Pages, IPTC and EXIF metadata mapping, Single Sign-On, onboarding support, dedicated account support, and unlimited training.

Which plan do most customers choose?

There isn’t one answer. But there is a pattern. Teams often start with the plan that solves today’s problem and then expand as their content operations mature.

A common journey looks like:

Shared Drives → Free → Essentials → Pro

Or for larger organizations:

Shared Drives/ DAM → Pro → Premium

The important thing is that every plan is built on the same platform. You aren’t buying into a stripped-down version that needs replacing later. As your needs evolve, the platform evolves with you.

Why Stockpress pricing works differently.

Many DAM vendors price around users. Others charge for AI credits, guest access, administrators, reviewers, contributors, or advanced permissions. Stockpress doesn’t.

Our philosophy is simple: If more people need access to your content, collaboration should become easier, not more expensive. That’s why every Stockpress plan includes unlimited users and unlimited teams. Because content rarely belongs to one person. It moves between marketing, creative, brand, content, ecommerce, sales, leadership, agencies, freelancers, partners, and customers.

The value of a DAM isn’t created when one person uploads a file. The value is created when everyone can find, trust, and use the right content. We believe pricing should support that reality. That’s why Stockpress is designed to help teams collaborate more, not count seats. And why choosing a plan is usually less about how many people need access, and more about how advanced your content operations need to become.

Still not sure which plan is right?

The easiest way to decide is to show us how your team works today. We’ll look at:

  • How content flows through your organization
  • Where files are currently stored
  • Who needs access
  • How much content you’re managing
  • What workflows you’d like to improve

From there, we can recommend the plan that best fits your team today, while giving you room to grow tomorrow.
