Instead of Font Awesome
Font Awesome alternatives
Font Awesome gives projects a substantial icon library, with 2,163 free icons and paid plans that expand the collection. Its web toolkit supports sizing, rotation, animation, stacking, and duotone styling; Kits can be embedded, downloaded, or used as packages. Pro Kits also allow custom icons. Developers can use documented framework and CMS integrations, while self-hosting and desktop design programs offer other routes into projects. The free plan and broad styling options make it a fit for teams seeking a flexible icon toolkit.

A different option may suit you better if you need a focused visual style, animated assets, broader export formats, or a search-oriented library. Compare how each product fits your target platforms and workflow, and check which formats and integrations it supports. Licensing and plan limits also affect a switch: Font Awesome’s Starter and monthly Solo or Team plans are CDN-only, and Pro assets cannot be shared publicly in open-source repositories with people outside the license. Consider whether a smaller free set or a paid product’s distinct capabilities match your project.
