Dashboard Icons Review

Worth it

Should I use Dashboard Icons?

A collection of 9299 curated icons and logos for services, applications and tools, designed specifically for dashboards and app directories. - dashboardicons.com

· 1 month ago

Use it if you're building a self-hosted dashboard or app directory and want free, curated service logos — it costs nothing. Skip it if you need general UI icons, licensed assets, or vendor support.
