Read the Font Awesome pageFont Awesome vs Lucide
Our take
Pick Font Awesome if you're on a team who already speak Font Awesome and will buy a kit. Pick Lucide if you're an engineer who want one MIT outline set they can vendor. Skip Font Awesome if you're on a team that want $0 MIT outlines only (Lucide) or human-made one-offs (Noun Project). Skip Lucide if you're brands that need 10 styles or webfont kits (Hugeicons / Font Awesome).
