Icons8 vs Lordicon

Icons8 lets any page embed one of its icons by simply writing an image URL — no signup, key, or client library needed — with free use requiring attribution and paid plans removing that requirement. A live GET against the real host, img.icons8.com, returned a genuine icon image while carrying Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, resolving cors unknown -> yes and reconfirming auth None.

Lordicon is a library of 46,400+ static and animated (Lottie/JSON-based) icons, embeddable via its player script or fetched directly from its CDN with no key required for free use; paid plans unlock the full catalog and commercial licensing. A live GET against the real asset host, cdn.lordicon.com, returned a genuine 404 for a made-up asset ID while carrying Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, reconfirming both auth None and cors yes — the marketing homepage itself sends a stricter, non-wildcard CORS header, but that isn't the asset-serving endpoint.
