Which one?
Both are good. Here’s when each fits
Choose Flaticon if…
- You need a very specific or illustrative icon: with millions of icons, someone has probably drawn it.
- You want coloured, illustrated and sticker-style graphics, not just interface icons.
- You’re happy to credit Flaticon, or to pay for Premium and skip the credit.
Choose with icons if…
- You don’t want to credit anyone: with icons is MIT, so no attribution, ever.
- You need SVG for free: every icon is free as SVG and PNG (Flaticon’s free downloads are PNG; SVG comes with Premium).
- You want a consistent family where every icon matches, with the same names in 20 styles.
