Brandfetch Alternatives: Brand and Logo APIs Compared for Developers and AI Agents
Written by the ReplyNodes engineering team.
If you need only a logo image, compare logo-delivery APIs and their CDN request limits. If you need structured brand context—such as names, colors, fonts, or other profile fields—compare brand-data APIs and the inputs they accept. For an API workflow with managed credentials and paid plans, evaluate the keyed providers; for a simple public-domain lookup, ReplyNodes offers unauthenticated brand JSON and a separate logo-image endpoint. These options do different jobs, and their quotas and usage terms are not interchangeable.
This is a practical comparison, not a benchmark or a ranking. Prices, allowances, and terms below are from the linked first-party sources checked on October 30, 2026. Confirm current terms with each provider before choosing a plan.
Compare the job, not just the logo
Start by deciding what your application needs to receive:
- A logo image: Your application needs an image URL or a logo response to display. Compare delivery formats, fallback behavior, CDN request limits, and whether caching or self-hosting is permitted.
- A structured brand profile: Your application needs JSON or other fields for a brand—potentially including a name, description, colors, fonts, or assets. Compare profile depth, supported lookup inputs, and the units used to meter retrievals.
- A particular lookup workflow: Some providers accept more than a domain. If your input is a company name, email, stock ticker, or page URL, check that the API supports that input rather than assuming domain lookup will be enough.
- A particular access model: Check whether you need an API key, how credentials are managed, and whether the service is suitable for your application’s deployment.
- A particular usage permission: A free allowance does not necessarily mean unrestricted commercial use. Check attribution, caching, sublicensing, redistribution, and trademark requirements.
Brand fields can be incomplete or stale, and coverage may vary by site and provider. A successful response is not a guarantee that every field is present or correct.
Brand and logo API comparison
Allowance units differ, so the figures below are not directly comparable. A brand retrieval, a logo render, a CDN request, an API credit, and a search request are distinct units. Prices and published allowances are shown as listed on each provider’s first-party pages checked October 30, 2026.
| Provider | Data, inputs, and access | Published free allowance | Published paid price and terms to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brandfetch | Brand API returns logos, colors, fonts, and company details; lookup supports a domain, ticker, ISIN, or crypto symbol. The Brand API needs a server-side key; Logo API uses a client ID. | 100 one-time brand fetches; 1 million logo renders/month; 500,000 searches/month. | Pricing page shows Growth at $99/month billed yearly, with up to 2,500 fetches/month; its FAQ lists $129/month or $1,188/year. Internal display is allowed by the FAQ, but sublicensing or including data in your own API response requires a specific agreement. Logo and search use separate limits. |
| Logo.dev | Logo CDN serves square logos; its separate Brand API returns logos, colors, socials, brandmarks, banners, and descriptions. Lookup supports domain, name, ticker, and ISIN; API access uses a token. | Community: 500,000 logo-CDN requests/month and $5 API credits/month. | Startup: $33/month, 1 million CDN requests/month, and $15 API credits/month. Commercial free projects need attribution; paid plans remove it. The page permits caching and self-hosting on any plan. |
| Context.dev | Brand Retrieve accepts a domain, company name, email, ticker, or direct page URL; Get Fonts and Get Styleguide are separate metered endpoints. API-key access. | Pricing page: 500 credits/month, up to 50 brand retrievals at 10 credits each, and 10,000 Logo Link requests one-time. The separate data-extraction page says signups get 500 credits with a work email or 250 with a free email, without stating a renewal period. Because the pages describe the free allowance differently, verify the actual allowance shown for your account. | Developer: $25/month for 10,000 credits/month and 1,000 brand retrievals; annual billing saves two months. Logo Link is a separate quota, and the pricing page says failed or blocked requests are not billed. |
| BrandApi (brandsapi.com) | BrandApi describes profiles with logos, colors, fonts, and company metadata; its Brand API fetch flow accepts a domain, while name search is a separate product. Terms require an API key. | Pricing page: 100 one-time brand fetches; 500,000 logo renders/month; 500,000 searches/month. A separate vendor-authored comparison page says 100 requests/month instead; verify the allowance in the account. | Pricing page: Growth at $79/month on yearly billing, with 2,500 fetches/month, 1 million renders, and 1 million searches. Its terms instead name a Pro plan at $50/month, with no clear mapping to Growth. Confirm the current plan, allowance, and price with the provider. Terms prohibit redistributing data as a standalone dataset, allow paid caching up to 30 days, and state returned brand data belongs to the respective brand owners. |
For the narrow job of rendering a logo, Logo.dev’s CDN is a relevant fit to evaluate; its Brand API is a separate product if you need richer profile fields. Brandfetch is worth comparing when you need one brand record with visual assets and company details, especially if your lookup starts with a ticker or ISIN. Context.dev accepts several lookup input types and exposes separate styleguide/font calls. If you need a ticker lookup for a full brand record, Brandfetch documents ticker inputs; Logo.dev also accepts ticker input when the output you need is a logo. A Logo.dev Clearbit-style URL still needs its own token. ReplyNodes is a keyless option for a public domain lookup, with distinct JSON and image endpoints. These are fit-based observations from published product descriptions, not a quality ranking.
A published allowance is only one part of the comparison. Check whether its period is one-time or recurring, what counts toward it, and whether different API products have separate meters. Also check how a provider treats failed or blocked requests, and whether attribution or other terms apply.
Two ReplyNodes endpoints for two different outputs
ReplyNodes separates structured brand information from a logo image:
- The Brand API returns brand JSON. Its public endpoint accepts a bare domain and does not require an account or API key. See the brand-intelligence guide for request details.
- The Logo API returns an image response for a bare domain. It is not the same response or quota as the JSON endpoint.
For example, these requests use different hosts and produce different kinds of output:
# Brand profile: JSON response
curl -i https://brand.replynodes.com/linear.app
# Logo: image response
curl -i https://img.replynodes.com/stripe.comTreat the example domains as request inputs, not promises about which fields or assets will appear in a response. Brand JSON fields and logo results may vary. A returned fallback placeholder is not a found company logo.
One quota detail is worth checking before building around anonymous access. The brand-intelligence docs checked on October 30, 2026 describe a product quota of 20 requests per UTC calendar day per trusted client-IP bucket, plus a separate generic burst safeguard of 20 requests per minute. The live marketing FAQ describes “20 requests per minute per IP” without explaining that separate daily product quota. Do not interpret the per-minute safeguard as the full product allowance; review the current docs before relying on limits.
HubSpot’s November 2025 developer changelog set the public Clearbit Logo API shutdown for December 8, 2025; that date has passed. If you are migrating an old logo.clearbit.com integration, see the Clearbit logo API alternative and verify a replacement in your own application before removing the old dependency. Logo.dev documents a keyed image URL for the logo-only path; it is similar in purpose, but check its current authentication and attribution requirements rather than assuming the old URL can be copied unchanged.

Check data rights as well as data availability
An API response does not establish that a logo or other brand asset is accurate, complete, current, or cleared for your intended use. A logo may be missing, stale, or replaced by a fallback. A company name or domain match should also be reviewed when it matters to your application.
Automated access to an asset is not permission to use a trademark. Check the relevant provider terms and the brand owner’s requirements for your use case. Before shipping, verify the output and permissions for the particular asset, especially if you plan to redistribute data, build a dataset, cache responses, or expose results through your own API.
Frequently asked questions
Is a full brand profile the same as a logo endpoint?
No. A brand-profile endpoint returns structured data, typically as JSON, while a logo endpoint returns an image or image URL. Compare the fields and response types you need; one does not imply the other.
Does a free plan mean there are no attribution or usage restrictions?
No. For example, Logo.dev’s pricing page says commercial projects on its Community free plan require attribution, while personal projects do not. Brandfetch’s pricing FAQ distinguishes internal display from sublicensing data or including it in your API responses. Read the current terms for the provider and use you are considering.
Are brand-data and logo-image quotas the same?
Not necessarily. Providers may meter brand fetches, retrieval credits, searches, CDN requests, image renders, and logo-link requests separately. Compare each meter and its billing period rather than treating all of them as API calls of the same kind.
Does receiving a logo from an API give me the right to use it?
No. An API response is not a grant of trademark rights. Check the relevant provider terms and the brand owner’s requirements before using or redistributing an asset.
