# ExodeUI vs SVGator: Interactive UI Runtime vs SVG Animation Export

> ExodeUI vs SVGator depends on what your animation has to do. SVGator is the better choice for logos, icons and illustrations, because it exports lightweight formats such as animated SVG, Lottie, GIF and video. ExodeUI suits UI with real states, logic and physics, played by a runtime in your app. We make ExodeUI.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is SVGator free?

It has a free plan for exploring the editor and exporting static SVG files. Animated exports need a paid plan. Starter is $20 per month and Pro $24 per month, both billed yearly.

### Can SVGator export Lottie?

Yes. Its pricing page lists Lottie JSON export on paid plans, along with animated SVG and other formats.

### Is SVGator lighter than ExodeUI?

For simple animations, usually yes. An animated SVG needs no separate runtime, while the ExodeUI runtime bundles a physics engine and is comparatively large. See our bundle size benchmark.

### When should I pick ExodeUI over SVGator?

Pick ExodeUI when the animation has to react with states, logic or physics, or when designers need to build those behaviours without code. For a decorative animation, SVGator is often the simpler choice.
