When Remix Icon is the better pick

You want a neutral line-and-fill pair for web and design work and don't need native mobile packages.

When Icon Monks is the better pick

Icon Monks is plain MIT with no extra conditions, has 6,054 icons, and adds thin, light, bold and duotone weights to outline and fill. 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.
