Moving off the Clearbit Logo API
The Clearbit Logo API shut down on December 8, 2025. Logo.dev, Brandfetch, LogoKit and Hunter each replace its URL; here is what changes in your code with each.
Last updated 2026-11-10
The Clearbit Logo API has shut down, so logo.clearbit.com URLs no longer return logos. For most products the fix is a new host and a key in the same image URL. HubSpot, which owns Clearbit, recommends Logo.dev.
What changed?
HubSpot acquired Clearbit in December 2023. In February 2025 Clearbit announced that the free Logo API would end on December 1, 2025; HubSpot's developer notice of March 18, 2025 set the shutdown for December 8, 2025. After that date, requests to logo.clearbit.com fail to connect. The Clearbit entry has the sources.
What replaces the logo URL?
| Replacement | New image URL | Key | Free use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Logo.dev | https://img.logo.dev/{domain}?token={key} |
Publishable key | 500,000 requests a month; a link to Logo.dev for commercial use |
| Brandfetch | https://cdn.brandfetch.io/domain/{domain}?c={client ID} |
Client ID | Up to 1,000,000 requests a month; no attribution |
| LogoKit | https://img.logokit.com/{domain}?token={key} |
Publishable token | 5,000 a day at 64 pixels; a link to LogoKit |
| Hunter | https://logos.hunter.io/{domain} |
None | Free; see its entry about the link to hunter.io |
Hunter keeps Clearbit's URL pattern, so only the host changes. The others need a key, and publishable keys are meant to sit in the page.
<!-- Before -->
<img src="https://logo.clearbit.com/stripe.com" alt="Stripe logo">
<!-- After, with Logo.dev -->
<img src="https://img.logo.dev/stripe.com?token=LOGO_DEV_PUBLISHABLE_KEY" alt="Stripe logo">
What else changes in your code?
- Attribution. Clearbit asked for a link to clearbit.com on every page that showed a logo. Brandfetch's Logo API asks for none; Logo.dev's and LogoKit's free plans need a visible link for commercial use; paid plans don't.
- Missing logos. Clearbit returned a 404 when it had no logo, and Hunter does the same. LogoKit returns a generated monogram unless you add
fallback=404. Check that your fallback still shows. - Server-side fetching. If your server downloaded Clearbit logos, note that Brandfetch, Logo.dev and LogoKit ask that their image URLs load in your users' browsers, not in scripts. Hunter encourages caching. To store logos yourself, use Logo.dev's Brand API, whose results you may keep on any plan.
- Size and greyscale. Clearbit took
sizeandgreyscaleparameters. Each replacement has its own options, so check its docs before carrying them over.
