IPLocate
IP address geolocation and threat data API
About IPLocate
IPLocate is an IP intelligence platform that returns geolocation, VPN/proxy/Tor detection, hosting provider, company, and ASN data for any IPv4 or IPv6 address through a single API. Every plan, including the free tier of 1,000 requests per day, includes all data types, and the same data is sold as daily-updated downloadable databases for self-hosting.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Free tier includes every data type (threat, company, ASN, hosting), not just basic geolocation
- Generous free quota of 1,000 requests per day with no credit card
- Low entry price for paid volume at $25/month for 100,000 requests
- Data updated daily, with free downloadable IP-to-country and IP-to-ASN databases
- Fast API (vendor reports under 20 ms average response time and 99.99% historical uptime)
- Developer-friendly: simple REST endpoint, client libraries, no-code connectors, and an MCP server
Cons
- Very few independent user reviews on G2, Capterra, or Software Advice to validate accuracy claims
- Accuracy and comparison claims against MaxMind and IPinfo come from the vendor itself
- Batch API is not available on the free tier
- Premium databases such as IP to Company and IP Whois cost $800/month and are licensed for internal use only
