I find great that it is a paid asset, specially seeing such a huge library of icons. However why a subscription model? For this price I guess only mid large studios can afford them, and they may compare it to other asset libraries like the ones from adobe, etc.

Also it is not clear to me what is the license, if I create a product for a customer and I stop the subscription I guess this product can still use the icons I put them there.

Anyway, congratulations for the product, I bookmark it.

1. Subscription: Moving to a subscription was a hard decision and we thought about it for 2 years, but it allowed us to focus on producing more content and improving workflow features like a figma plugin, global color editor, CSS color editor etc. I wrote all about it in a Medium post.

2. Thanks for letting me know that the licensing isn't as clear. You're absolutely right in assuming that your customers can continue using the icons even if you cancel the subscription.

Please also make the open-source licensing clearer. I couldn't figure out which license they are actually under. It refers to CC 4.0, but creative commons currently has 6 different licenses in version 4.0.

We had licensed the 5 icon sets, Bangalore and Freemoji sets under the Creative Commons - CC BY 4.0 which lets you use them as you want.

I'll take a look what are the other 6 licenses and make our licensing information clearer. Thank you. I appreicate this.
