SDKs & Developer Experience

Official SDKs reduce integration time and provide better error handling, type safety, and built-in best practices like retries and rate limit handling.

Quikturn API

Most Complete SDK

TypeScript SDK (@quikturn/logos) -- Browser client, server client with batch operations and streaming, web component
React SDK (@quikturn/logos-react) -- Provider, QuikturnLogo, QuikturnLogoCarousel, QuikturnLogoGrid, and useLogoUrl hook
Built-in features: Auto-retry with exponential backoff, typed error handling, scrape polling, rate limit events, and batch concurrency control

Logo.dev

No official SDK. Integration via direct URL-based image requests. Simple to get started but no type safety, retry logic, or developer tooling out of the box.

Brandfetch

Official JavaScript SDK for brand data retrieval. Supports domain and name-based lookups. No React-specific components.

Brand.dev

SDKs available for TypeScript, Python, and Ruby. Good multi-language coverage for backend integrations. No frontend-specific components.

You need multiple search methods - domain, name, ticker, LinkedIn URL, or data-provider IDs
You want a generous free tier (500K requests/month) with no credit card required
You need official SDKs with TypeScript, React components, and server-side batch operations
You integrate with PitchBook, FactSet, CapIQ, or Grata and want seamless logo lookups from those identifiers
You need a PowerPoint add-in (Enterprise) or web platform for non-developer users

Choose Logo.dev If:

You only need domain-based logo lookups and want the broadest coverage
You want ultra-low latency via their global CDN
You're migrating from Clearbit and want a straightforward replacement

Choose Brand.dev If:

You need brand identity extraction with industry classification

You need transaction enrichment or screenshot APIs alongside brand data

Our Verdict

Each API has genuine strengths. Logo.dev leads on raw coverage and CDN speed. Brandfetch excels at full brand kits. Brand.dev offers real-time brand extraction with industry classification. But for teams in finance, professional services, and any workflow that needs more than domain search, Quikturn stands apart.

What Makes Quikturn Different:

Ticker symbol search - the only logo API with native stock ticker lookups
LinkedIn URL search - look up logos from company LinkedIn profiles
Data-provider integrations - search by PitchBook, FactSet, CapIQ, and Grata identifiers
PowerPoint add-in (Enterprise) - insert logos directly into presentations
Web platform - non-developers can search and download logos without writing code
500K free requests/month - the most generous free tier among providers with no credit card required

Final Thoughts

The logo API landscape in 2026 has strong options for different use cases. Logo.dev and Brandfetch are solid choices for general-purpose logo retrieval and brand data respectively. Brand.dev brings a fresh approach with real-time brand extraction and multi-language SDKs.

Quikturn's strengths are most apparent in finance and professional services - ticker search, data-provider integrations, and a PowerPoint add-in are features no other logo API offers. Combined with a generous free tier and official TypeScript and React SDKs, it's the best fit for teams that need flexibility beyond simple domain lookups.
