IconScout

For UI, brand, and marketing designers who usually search a large catalog of icons, illustrations, 3D, and Lottie—and generate only when nothing matches. IconScout puts AI icon/asset tools on that library, with Figma, Adobe, and Canva plugins. Skip Recraft when generative vector systems are the main job, or Iconify when you only need open-source sets. The generator gives 3 free tries; monthly AI credits sit on paid plans.

Use it when

You want to pick from a stock icon and illustration catalog first, prompt a custom vector glyph only for the gap, and pull files into Figma through the plugin or a download.

What it does well

  • Large customizable library of icons, illustrations, 3D graphics, and Lottie, with source files on paid plans
  • AI Asset Generator, Reimagine, Vectorizer, and Background Remover on the same subscription
  • Plugins and apps for Figma, Adobe, Canva, and desktop
  • Unicons icon-font library, illustration kits, and a brand color palette
  • Individual includes a royalty-free digital license; Team adds a physical/print license plus shared collections and admin

Skip it when

  • You need Recraft: reusable generative icon/vector systems, not a catalog-plus-gap-fill
  • You need prompt-only SVG drafts without a stock library—that’s SVG AI
  • You only need open-source UI sets with free SVG inserts—that’s Iconify
  • You are here for 3D characters or avatars; those generators exist, but they are not the icon-set decision
  • AI generation shows 3 free tries, then Individual is 500 AI credits/month, Team 1,000 per member, Team+ 5,000. Credits do not roll over
  • AI credits are not sold without a base Individual/Team/Team+ plan. Check each Free Assets license before a no-credit client handoff

Fits your workflow

Search the library or Figma plugin → generate an icon only if the catalog misses → download SVG/source → lock the style in your UI kit. Use Team when print/physical licensing and shared collections matter. Treat AI credits as a monthly pool on top of unlimited paid library downloads—not unlimited generation.
