The Clearbit Logo API Is Discontinued -- Here's a Maintained Alternative

Clearbit's free Logo API, widely used for years to fetch a company logo from just a domain name, has been discontinued following Clearbit's acquisition. Any integration still pointing at the old Clearbit logo endpoint is running against a service that's no longer actively maintained and can stop returning results at any time without notice. logostream.dev is a currently maintained, actively developed alternative -- if your app displays company logos anywhere in a trading, banking, or fintech context and still depends on Clearbit, that dependency is worth replacing before it silently breaks in production. A broken logo in a payment confirmation or account overview is a small bug that still erodes user trust, especially in a financial product.

Clearbit resolved logos exclusively by domain name -- send a website, get back a logo. logostream.dev supports domain-based lookups too, but adds ticker, ISIN, and WKN as additional, finance-specific identifiers on top of that, which Clearbit never offered. For a fintech app that already had a Clearbit integration built around domains, migrating means updating the endpoint URL and authentication -- the domain-based query pattern itself carries over directly, while gaining the option to query by financial identifier wherever that data is already on hand. That means the migration itself is close to a drop-in replacement, with the identifier upgrade available whenever the team is ready to use it.

Clearbit's Logo API was free, required no signup for basic use, and became a default choice for developers who just wanted a quick way to show a company's logo without building their own asset pipeline. That low-friction model made it extremely popular, but it also meant there was never a published uptime commitment or a support relationship behind it -- when Clearbit was acquired and the product was wound down, every integration built on that assumption broke at once. logostream.dev is built the opposite way: a subscription product with a real SLA, specifically so a logo dependency doesn't disappear without warning.
