IconCraft vs Looka

IconCraft

A single-task tool priced like one: $9 buys 20 icon generations outright with no recurring charge, which suits the actual usage pattern - you need an app icon once, then not again for a year. Having an API is unexpected at this size. It is clearly a solo project, with a personal email as the only support channel and no company entity behind it, so plan for the possibility that it disappears.

Pros

• +Outputs production-ready icons at iOS and Android sizes
• +Accepts a text description, an uploaded logo, or a style reference as the starting point
• +One-time credit packs instead of a subscription
• +API with its own console at console.iconcraft.app
• +30-day refund policy stated in the terms

Cons

• −Free playground gives only a single credit
• −No company entity or country published - support is one personal email address
• −Terms forbid reselling generated icons as standalone products
• −Single-purpose: no wider brand or asset tooling

Looka

A fast way for a new business to land a usable mark and matching collateral, as long as you accept that the cheap package hands over a flat image you cannot resize.

Pros

• +Preview across cards, signage and social profiles before spending anything
• +Vector files and full ownership arrive with the $65 package
• +Brand Kit turns a single logo into several hundred ready-made templates

Cons

• −The cheapest package is a raster file only — no vectors, no clean resizing
• −Continued brand kit access is a subscription rather than a purchase
• −Results are recognisably generated and overlap between customers
• −No API, and no way to hand a designer editable sources
