The short version
Which library should you pick?
Every library on this page is good. They optimize for different teams.
Majesticons
Product teams that want one consistent 24×24 set with editable stroke widths and no subscription.
Untitled UI Icons
Figma designers on a budget who want a clean, neutral essentials set. The strongest price of the paid options.
Nucleo
Teams that need multiple sizes and grids (including true small-size icons) and a desktop app for organizing them.
Streamline
Agencies that need breadth above all (illustrations, emoji and every style imaginable) and accept a subscription.
Font Awesome Pro
Developer-heavy teams that live in its kits, CDN and framework tooling rather than in Figma.
Free sets: Lucide, Heroicons, Tabler
Solo projects and MVPs that need interface essentials only. Start here, and upgrade to a paid library when you keep hitting missing icons.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Everything about licensing, updates and how the library works.
- Is this comparison biased? You make Majesticons.
- Majesticons is our product, and this page says so openly. The numbers come from each vendor’s public pricing and product pages (checked August 2026), and each entry names what that library does better than ours: Untitled UI is cheaper, Nucleo has more icons and more grid sizes, Streamline is far broader, Font Awesome has deeper developer tooling. Pick by what your team needs.
- Why pay for icons when Lucide and Heroicons are free?
- Free open-source sets like Lucide, Heroicons and Tabler are excellent for interface essentials and often the right choice. Paid libraries earn their price on coverage (thousands of specific concepts a 1,500-icon set never reaches), consistent multi-style families, Figma-native components and a maintainer you can ask for missing icons.
- One-time payment or subscription: which is better?
- For icons, one-time usually wins: the files do not stop working when you stop paying. Subscriptions make sense when the library is a service you use continuously, like Streamline’s full-access editor tooling or Font Awesome’s hosted kits. Majesticons, Untitled UI and Nucleo all sell lifetime licenses.
- What makes Majesticons different from the others?
- Two things: every icon ships in three matching styles on one 24×24 grid, and the line style keeps real SVG strokes, so you can change the stroke width in code or Figma without redrawing. Most outline sets flatten strokes to fills on export, which locks the weight forever.
