Logo artwork — svgl, MIT
Logo artwork sourced from svgl, the MIT-licensed SVG logo library by pheralb. The collection covers 665 brands; toolweight mirrors it into a committed snapshot at build time rather than calling the svgl API, so builds are deterministic and svgl's rate limits are ours to respect rather than ours to consume.
Marks are re-derived at ingest — flattened to currentColor for the monochrome variant this theme uses, optimised, and measured for aspect ratio — but the artwork is svgl's, and the licence travels with it.

Where a tool in a toolweight roster has no svgl entry, we open a pull request adding it rather than hosting our own copy. It costs nothing and the collection gets better for everyone.
Trademarks
Logos are trademarks of their respective owners. toolweight is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by them. Marks are reproduced for identification in editorial comparison. Rights holders can request removal and we will honour it immediately.
Stated the long way: a permissive licence on an SVG file governs the file, not the mark. The right to copy the artwork is not the right to imply a relationship, and no notice on this page would create one anyway. toolweight's use of these marks is nominative and editorial — the marks identify which product a row is about, in a comparison of competing products, which is what trademarks exist to let people do.
Concretely, that means: no vendor listed here has reviewed, approved or paid for their placement; no logo on this site indicates partnership, certification or endorsement; and no arrangement exists under which any of that could change.
Takedowns are honoured immediately and without argument. A rights holder does not have to explain the request, cite a statute or send it from a law firm. Setting a single flag drops the artwork while the comparison data — which is factual reporting about a product and not a use of the mark — stays where it is. Open a takedown request, or email works just as well.

toolweight's dataset — CC BY 4.0
Everything toolweight produces itself — the field registries, the comparison values, the provenance records, the editorial verdicts, the timeline entries and the measured benchmarks — is published under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International.
You may copy it, republish it, remix it, chart it, feed it to a model and build a commercial product on it. The only condition is attribution: credit toolweight and link to the page or the API endpoint you took it from, and note if you changed anything.
Machine-readable copies of the same data, all under the same licence:
- /api/v1/categories — the JSON API, versioned, CORS-open, no auth
- /llms.txt — what this site is and where everything lives
- /mcp — an MCP server, if your agent would rather ask than scrape
- /changelog/rss.xml — the changelog as a feed
Every page also has a markdown twin at the same path with .md appended, with the table as a pipe table and the sources inline. Dataset snapshot as of 2026-07-23.
