When Lucide is the better pick

You want one consistent outline style, mostly build for the web, and like being able to change the stroke width in code.

When Icon Monks is the better pick

Icon Monks has 6,054 icons to Lucide's 2,296, and each comes in six weights, including fill and duotone for selected states. It also ships native packages for Flutter, SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose. 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.
