Ask HN: FontAwesome makes it impossible to downgrade. Any alternatives?

3 points by dk8996 1 year ago | 4 comments

I've been using and supporting FontAwesome for over 10 years, including paying for licenses to support the great work they do. However, their sales tactics have become quite frustrating. I encountered an issue where I couldn't downgrade from Pro Max to Pro, despite their plan page stating:

"If you just need icons for a web project, our online-only Pro Lite plan is a good choice. If you’re not sure, our Pro Plan is a good choice to start with, and don’t worry - it’s easy to change your plan."

Does anyone know of good alternatives to FontAwesome?

You can create your custom font with existing sets of icons and get a nice overview of existing freebees.

Though you will not get 53000 icons as fontawesome , you would get 1000 icons for free & lucide actually worked with svelte really nicely
