Brand Identity API vs Clearbit Logo API

The Clearbit Logo API alternative, in one line

HubSpot shut down Clearbit's free Logo API on December 8, 2025, so every logo.clearbit.com image now fails to load.

The Brand Identity API logo CDN takes the same kind of URL. Change the host and your logos come back: 500,000 requests a month on the free plan, with SVG, dark-mode variants and full brand data when you want more.

Which to pick

When each one fits

Both can be the right answer. Here is how we would decide.

What Clearbit Logo API left

  • Clearbit's enrichment products now live inside HubSpot. If you are a HubSpot customer who needs enrichment rather than logos, look there.

Choose Brand Identity API if you want

  • A one-line change: logo.clearbit.com/{domain} becomes /logo/{domain}.
  • No credits spent on logos: 500,000 requests a month free, 3 million on Starter, unlimited on Growth, and no attribution link.
  • SVG on request, and logos for dark backgrounds.
  • Colors, fonts and company data from the same domain when you need them.

FAQ

Clearbit Logo API questions

Something we did not answer? Write to us and a person will reply.

When did the Clearbit Logo API shut down?

On December 8, 2025, as announced in HubSpot's developer changelog. Requests to logo.clearbit.com no longer return logos.

Is the Brand Identity API logo CDN free?

Logo requests never cost a credit. Each plan has a monthly allowance: 500,000 on the free plan, 3 million on Starter and unlimited on Growth. Only keyed requests that miss the CDN cache count, and past the allowance logos for indexed brands keep loading as they would without a key. No attribution link; per-minute burst limits apply (see /docs/rate-limits#logo-cdn).

Do I need an API key?

Not for brands already in our index. Add a free publishable key as ?key= and unknown domains are crawled on their first request.

Does it support Clearbit's parameters?

?size= works the same way, from 16 to 1024 pixels, and ?format=png works too. There is no greyscale option: use the CSS filter grayscale(1).
