Ask HN: FontAwesome makes it impossible to downgrade. Any alternatives?

I've been using and supporting FontAwesome for over 10 years, including paying for licenses to support the great work they do. However, their sales tactics have become quite frustrating. I encountered an issue where I couldn't downgrade from Pro Max to Pro, despite their plan page stating:

"If you just need icons for a web project, our online-only Pro Lite plan is a good choice. If you’re not sure, our Pro Plan is a good choice to start with, and don’t worry - it’s easy to change your plan."

Does anyone know of good alternatives to FontAwesome?

Check https://icomoon.io/
You can create your custom font with existing sets of icons and get a nice overview of existing freebees.

Though you will not get 53000 icons as fontawesome , you would get 1000 icons for free & lucide actually worked with svelte really nicely
