Liniqo vs IconScout
IconScout is a huge marketplace of icons, illustrations, 3D and Lottie files from many authors. Liniqo is a focused library: one isometric style, made for product screens.
Choose IconScout when you need many asset types and styles under one subscription. Choose Liniqo when you want one consistent isometric style, a one-time price, dark versions and an MCP server for AI coding tools.

Which one should you pick?
Pick IconScout if
- You need icons, 3D and Lottie as well as illustrations
- You use many different styles across projects
- A yearly subscription suits you
Pick Liniqo if

Many teams use both: a character library for marketing moments, and Liniqo for product screens like empty states, onboarding, settings and feature sections, where a calm, consistent style matters more.
Questions
Is IconScout cheaper?
IconScout Individual is listed at $14.99/month billed yearly. Liniqo is a one-time payment from $19, so over a year Liniqo costs less if illustrations are what you need.

Yes, from many authors, so styles vary between packs. Liniqo is one isometric style throughout.
Which works with AI coding tools?
Liniqo has an MCP server and shadcn registry for Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Lovable and v0. IconScout offers AI generation credits but not an MCP server for coding tools.

Both let you keep using what you downloaded under the licence. Liniqo has nothing to cancel because it is a one-time payment.
