Deep coverage of public companies, private startups, and international brands. Includes ticker symbol mapping for publicly traded companies, LinkedIn URL search, and CRM data search - making it the go-to choice for finance and professional services.
Logo.dev

Brandfetch
50+ Million Brands
Full brand kits including logos, colors, fonts, and metadata. With 99.9% uptime and over 1 billion API calls processed, Brandfetch is a mature platform for teams that need more than just a logo image.
Context.dev
Full Brand Identity Extraction
Context.dev (formerly Brand.dev) extracts brand identity data on demand - logos, colors, fonts, metadata, and industry classification - alongside web scraping and extraction APIs built for AI agents. Rather than maintaining a static database, it analyzes brands in real time with ~250ms response times, and logo pulls are bundled into its credit plans.

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

- You want a generous free tier (1M requests/month) with no credit card required
- You need official SDKs with TypeScript, React components, and server-side batch operations

Our Verdict
Each API has genuine strengths. Logo.dev leads on raw coverage and CDN speed. Brandfetch excels at full brand kits. Context.dev offers real-time brand extraction alongside web scraping. But for teams in finance, professional services, and any workflow that starts from LinkedIn URLs, CRM records, or data-provider IDs, Quikturn stands apart.
What Makes Quikturn Different:
- Ticker, name, LinkedIn URL & CRM search - every identifier a finance team starts from, in one API
- 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
- 1M 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. Context.dev pairs real-time brand extraction with web scraping and multi-language SDKs.
Quikturn's strengths are most apparent in finance and professional services - LinkedIn URL and data-provider search, plus a PowerPoint add-in and web platform, are features the other logo APIs here don't offer. Combined with the largest free tier of the four and official TypeScript and React SDKs, it's the best fit for teams that need flexibility beyond simple domain lookups.
