TemplateMonster VS CreativeMarket - Which Marketplace is the best

Do you know where the web design community buys WordPress themes?
For now, there are two companies that nailed everyone else in terms of producing and selling website templates. Those are the TemplateMonster and Creative Market.

TemplateMonster Marketplace

The number of things that will make you feel happy will vary depending on the product type you will buy. In case you need a WordPress theme you will get following benefits if you opt for it on TemplateMonster marketplace.

Pre-sale Support
==============
At TemplateMonster marketplace, you can always count on a help from the customer support team that will help you pick the design that will definitely fit your project.

Product Licensing
===============
A few years ago there was quite a fuss regarding GPL3.0 WordPress theme, which made all theme manufacturers develop GPL3.0 compliant themes. Right now the hysteria is over and that’s why we can find themes that fall either under GPL 2.0 or 3.0 license.[j] The same thing is at TemplateMonster marketplace, even though most themes are not GPL 3.0[k], there’s still a certain amount of templates released under GPL 3.0.

Pricing and Discounts
==================

Another thing is the regular pricing. Since TM is a marketplace it means that lots of products belong to a great number of vendors, every one of them wants to eat, that’s why the price range WordPress themes can range from $45 up to $98. The theme we’re chosen costs $75, and it’s a GPL3.0 license, in case you want to build a few websites using this theme you’re good to go.

After Sale Support
===============

Additional Offers
==============

Creative Market
Pre-sale support
==============
Comparing to templatemonster marketplace there’s no pre-sale support at creative market since the whole inventory is presented by 27000 individual shops, there’s no way Creative Market could implement a centralized team of presale support. This is why all vendors answer questions regarding their product in the comments section on a given product page.

Product licensing
==============
The licensing policy at Creative Market is quite straightforward, the product either can or cannot be used commercially, or product can or not be used multiple times.

Pricing and Discounts
==================
Unfortunately, there’s no such thing as promotional discount campaigns at Creative Market, all cut prices are initiated at the discretion of vendors.

After sale support
===============
According to their product description the after sale support will be provided through Creative Market, but it’s not clear for how long.

Additional offers
==============
Unfortunately, there's no such thing as additional offers at Creative Market, in case you want to get something extra you will have to find a freelancer.
