If there are better value templates/stock items that would be better. and hope they don't re-use (or aren't reusing) the template illegally. You'd have to pay the seller an amount covering the cost of the template+the cost of their time etc. That being the case, for those projects with those budgets (which are the majority of requests on that site) it wouldn't make sense for the seller to purchase a template that cost $50 for use on just 1 project.Īlso if you spent the $50 approx on the template from that site, you wouldn't be able to give that template to the person you wanted to do the actual video because the license terms say it is for 'yourself or for one client'. Fiverr) for most of the explainer videos, the budget (where specified) for the majority of projects is under around $50 (and the seller only gets about 80% of the project price). But they are generally a cheap way to solve an urgent problem, especially for clients who can't afford to pay for bespoke animation.Įven if I hire the cheapest labour I can find from a country where wages are low, spending $50 on a template to save a few dozen hours of work is still cheap. Templates are not a great way to work, and of course the best work is always done from scratch.

Even if I hire the cheapest labour I can find from a country where wages are low, spending $50 on a template to save a few dozen hours of work is still cheap. I've hired editors in Los Angeles and 3D modellers in Ukraine. What may be expensive to you may be cheap to me, and vice versa.īut I hire people from all over the world to do work for me when I need to, and generally speaking the price is not so disparate that my post above is unreasonable. Obviously we all have different clients and different pricing models, depending on who we work for and what socio-economic situations we live in. $58 is less than I charge for one hour of work, so I don't relate to a process that might have a total production cost which is less than that.

I'm not accustomed to working in the price range you mention. So though $49 or $58 may not sound like much, $49 or $58 (or more if using elements from >1 of the packages in 1 video) would be a lot when that's the price for their use in 1 end product. If you wanted to use some elements from all 3 packages in 1 project you'd have to pay the price of all 3 packages for that project (again the cost couldn't get reduced by using them in more projects - if you want to be paid for those projects - due to the license prices). you couldn't buy the package then use them in multiple projects without paying the $58 fee for each project). It wouldn't get any cheaper by using them in more projects (ie. So if you wanted to use a few elements from the $58 package your final video delivered to a client would need to be >$58 to make a profit (some client's wouldn't want to spend so much). You also wouldn't be allowed to use them where the end user was charged. I'm not sure they're very good value for money seeing as the prices are between $49 and $58 for each product you produce. There are a ton of pre-built video components like these available for not much money
