Comparison

Microstock+ vs Rushlot for stock video

Microstock+ is StockSubmitter in a browser: it uploads, fills and submits on dozens of agencies, delivering files from its own servers. Rushlot is a Mac app that prepares and uploads footage and leaves Submit to you. Here is what each one does, from its own pages, with the date we read them.

At a glance

Checked on October 29, 2026, from Microstock+’s own pages and Rushlot’s own records. Numbers in brackets link to the page each fact was read on.
	Microstock+	Rushlot
What it is	“Upload, attribute, auto submit photo, video, illustrations and vector files on 33 microstock agencies at the same time.” StockSubmitter lists it as its online version for macOS and iOS, and both sites share one set of terms. [1][5][6]	A Mac app for stock footage. It checks each clip, drafts the metadata from your own title, lets you review it, then uploads to your own accounts on four marketplaces.
Who presses Submit	Microstock+ does. The process “is automated as much as possible and requires a minimal participation on your side”, and it follows each file’s approval status on every agency. Through its AI agents, sending onward “always asks for your confirmation”. [1][2]	Never. You press Submit on Shutterstock, Pond5 and Getty yourself; Adobe Stock moves an SFTP delivery into review on its own. Measured on a real account, 2026-09-07
Where the files leave from	Its servers: files are delivered “all in one go from our servers”, so upload speed “does not depend on your current internet connection quality”. [1]	Your clips go from your disk to your own accounts and never pass through a Rushlot server.
Agency passwords	Kept “on a remote server in the encrypted form”. Its Analytics service, which reads your sales on the agencies, says its passwords are stored encrypted on a separate protected server. [1][3]	Your marketplace passwords stay in your Mac’s Keychain. Rushlot reads one when a marketplace needs it and never writes it into a log, a config file or a telemetry event.
Runs on	“Any operating system with a browser.” [1]	Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer). Windows (x64) comes after the Mac version.
Agencies	33. Unlimited submissions for everyone on iStock ESP, Dreamstime, YayImages and Pond5; 33 free submissions a month on 20 more, Shutterstock and Adobe Stock among them; 9 are upload only. [1]	Four: Adobe Stock, Shutterstock, Pond5 and Getty Images, to your own accounts. SFTP for Adobe Stock (qualified accounts), FTPS for Shutterstock and Pond5, Getty’s own web uploader in your browser.
Metadata	QuickMeta, “semi-automatic”; neural networks find “metadata donors” from your file’s thumbnail; built-in translation into English. Its AI agents can export metadata to CSV. Its home page does not mention XMP. [1][2]	Writes the title and keywords into the video file as XMP, right before upload. Adobe Stock and Pond5 read it. Shutterstock and Getty do not, so Rushlot fills their CSV import as well. Measured on a real account, 2026-09-07, 2026-09-08, 2026-09-11
Price	Free and unlimited for users who never bought a paid subscription and earned under $50 on the agencies, if they let M+ collect their earnings data. Its home page lists no other price, though it mentions paid subscriptions. M+ Trends is sold apart, at 5 to 30 EUR a month. [1][4]	20 clips free, no card. Then 19 € a month or 159 € a year, for 150 clips a month. No commission on your sales.
Interface languages	Russian, Ukrainian and English; its AI agents page adds French. [1][2]	App in English and French. Every value it writes for a marketplace is in English.
