VERDICT

Should I use Iconfinder?

Not disclosed - iconfinder.com

Skip. Iconfinder was a well-loved icon marketplace, but it is shutting down — the November 15 deadline was extended, not cancelled. Nobody should start paying today; existing buyers should plan an exit to a licensed alternative.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~20 public sources; Nov 2025 shutdown reports dominate recent evidence, while rating and pricing details are only partially visible in snippets.
