Tabler vs Heroicons
Heroicons is curated and small. Tabler is broad. Both are MIT and stroked, but the grids differ.
- Use Heroicons for marketing pages and Tailwind components.
- Use Tabler for application chrome that needs dozens of nearby actions.
- Compare a shared noun, such as arrow or user, on this site before committing a dependency.
Which one to open
Open Heroicons for marketing pages and Tailwind components, where a curated set and named sizes are the point. Open Tabler for application chrome that needs dozens of nearby actions: devices, files, and arrows in more than one state.

Two stroke grids
Both sets are stroked. The grids still differ. Heroicons puts 16, 20, or 24 in many names, and outline is not the same drawing as solid. Tabler does not use that size suffix. A row that mixes them will disagree on stroke width and corners.
Stay in one pack for a toolbar. Heroicons will feel small in a dense admin UI. Tabler will feel broad on a page that only needs a house, a menu, and a search icon.
