Looka and Brandmark are the two most-searched AI logo tools. Both have loyal followings and real strengths. Looka is depth-first: hundreds of concepts, full brand kit subscription, website builder integration. Brandmark is quality-first: 12-15 curated options that often feel more designer-made, clean one-time pricing at $25-$175. BrandSnap AI is speed-first: complete brand kit in 60 seconds, free to start. All three generate logos. The differences are in depth, pricing model, and what you get beyond the logo. Here's the honest breakdown.
