When Feather is the better pick

You only need a few hundred simple outline icons and are happy with a set that rarely changes.

When Icon Monks is the better pick

Feather has 287 icons; Icon Monks has 6,054 in six weights, with regular releases and native mobile packages. See how the six weights work or install it for your platform.

Switching to Icon Monks

Install the package for your platform, then replace icons screen by screen. Search the icon browser by the concept rather than the old name, because names differ between sets, and keep one weight per screen so the result looks consistent. Every icon has its own page with code for each platform, like the house icon.
