On the free plan, commercial use requires attribution; personal projects don’t need it. Upgrade to any paid plan to remove the requirement entirely.

​
Who needs attribution

  • Commercial projects on the free plan — yes, a visible link back to Logo.dev
  • Personal projects on the free plan — no
  • Any paid plan — no

​
What counts as commercial

If a company or organization owns the project, or the project makes (or intends to make) money, it’s commercial. It belongs to you as an individual and earns nothing? It’s personal. Commercial:
  • Products and sites that charge users, run ads, or sell anything
  • Startups, including pre-launch and pre-revenue
  • Internal tools at a company — dashboards, CRMs, back-office apps
  • Client and agency work
  • Projects run by an organization, including nonprofits
Personal:
  • Hobby and side projects with no revenue
  • Learning, tutorials, and classroom projects
  • Portfolios and personal sites
  • Open-source projects you maintain as an individual
Still unsure after this? Ask us — edge cases exist and we’re reasonable about them.

How attribution works

Attribution ensures proper domain verification and helps us maintain free access to Logo.dev. Your attribution link:
  • Must be on your production site (not staging or localhost)
  • Must be publicly accessible and viewable in browsers
  • Must pass referrer data (remove any noreferrer attributes)

​
Implementation

Add this link on any page displaying Logo.dev logos: 
<a href="https://logo.dev">Logos provided by Logo.dev</a>

​
Example implementation

<div class="customer-logos">
  <img
    src="https://img.logo.dev/apple.com?token=LOGO_DEV_PUBLISHABLE_KEY"
    alt="Apple"
  />
  <img
    src="https://img.logo.dev/google.com?token=LOGO_DEV_PUBLISHABLE_KEY"
    alt="Google"
  />
  <img
    src="https://img.logo.dev/microsoft.com?token=LOGO_DEV_PUBLISHABLE_KEY"
    alt="Microsoft"
  />
</div>
<p class="attribution">
  <a href="https://logo.dev">Logos provided by Logo.dev</a>
</p>

​
Placement options

Place attribution where users can see it:
  • Near logo displays - Directly below or beside logo grids
  • In page footer - With other credits and links
  • On about pages - For apps behind authentication

​
Development workflow

Your API key works immediately for development and testing on localhost or staging environments. Attribution verification only happens when your production site goes live.
  1. Sign up for a free account at logo.dev/signup
  2. Get your API key from the dashboard
  3. Start building—the API works right away
  4. Add attribution when your commercial project goes to production
You won’t be blocked from using the API while developing on localhost. Complete attribution when you’re ready to launch.
