Do Illos illustrations need a credit line?

No. The free spots need no credit, and neither does anything that comes with Pro.

Is Pro a subscription?

No. Pro is one payment of $49 at launch. It includes a year of new illustrations and toolkit updates, and what you have is yours to keep.

Can I animate Illos illustrations myself?

They come animated. If you want a new one, the skills teach your coding agent to draw and animate it in the same theme.

Storyset and Illos, side by side.

Storyset, from Freepik, offers illustrations of people and scenes in several styles, with an online editor to animate and recolour them; free use asks for a credit, and dropping it takes a Flaticon Premium subscription. Illos offers animated illustrations that explain how a product works, free spots with no credit, and skills that teach your coding agent the style.

You want to change the scene itself in an editor before you download it.
A credit line on your site is fine with you.

When Illos fits better

Your page explains how something works, and the illustration should show the idea moving.
You would rather not add a credit line, or pay a monthly subscription to remove one.
You build with a coding agent and want new illustrations to match the ones you have.
