Best for
Pros
- Try-before-you-buy — the entire design process is free until download
- Premium package at $65 one-time is far cheaper than hiring a designer
- 4.4 Trustpilot score across 14,000+ reviews — customers largely get what they expect
- Brand Kit extends one logo into a consistent identity in minutes
Cons
- Output leans on icon libraries and standard fonts — results can look template-like
- $20 Basic package is a single low-res PNG, near-useless for real branding
- Brand Kit is a recurring $96/year subscription, easy to mistake for one-time
- No mobile app or API; everything happens on the website
Our verdict
Best for: New businesses and side projects that need a credible logo and matching brand assets today, not in three weeks.
Skip if: You want a distinctive, ownable mark — a human designer or a heavier design tool will get you further.
Our review
Editorial score: 3.9 out of 5Looka does one job with honest mechanics: feed it a name and some style preferences, and it produces dozens of plausible logos you can tweak until one feels right — all before paying a cent. The $65 Premium package with real vector files and ownership rights costs less than an hour of a good designer's time, and the 4.4 Trustpilot score across 14,000+ reviews says most buyers feel they got their money's worth. The Brand Kit is the smart upsell: 300+ templated assets that keep a new business visually consistent from day one.
The ceiling is originality. Looka assembles marks from icon libraries and standard typefaces, so your logo is a competent arrangement, not a distinctive idea — and someone in an adjacent industry may land on a cousin of it. The $20 Basic tier is close to a decoy (one low-res PNG), the Brand Kit renews annually whether you remember it or not, and the near-empty 2.7 G2 listing reflects that this is a consumer product, not a business platform.
Verdict: the right call for getting a credible brand identity this afternoon for under $100. If the logo needs to carry real brand equity, treat Looka's output as a placeholder and budget for a designer later.
What reviewers elsewhere say
74% positive — Consumers praise speed, ease, and value versus hiring a designer; critics call results generic and flag the subscription renewal on Brand Kit.

What is Looka?
Looka is an AI logo maker from the Toronto company formerly called Logojoy. It generates logo options from your business name and style preferences, then builds brand assets around the one you pick.
How much does Looka cost?
Designing is free; downloading costs money. Basic is $20 one-time (single PNG), Premium is $65 one-time (full vector files and ownership), and the Brand Kit subscription is $96/year — $129/year with the website builder.
Do I own my Looka logo?
With the Premium package or a Brand Kit subscription, yes — you get full ownership rights to the final files. The $20 Basic package is a single PNG intended more as a mockup.
Is Looka really free?
The design process is — unlimited generation, customization, and previews. You only pay when you want to download the files.
Should I use Looka or Canva for a logo?
Looka generates and refines the logo for you and outputs proper vector files with ownership. Canva is better if you want to design it yourself or already pay for Canva Pro — but its logo templates are shared with millions of users.
