Every IP intelligence field, free at every tier — built because paywalled fields are bad for developers.
In May 2025 a major IP intelligence provider restructured its free product — moving city, region, latitude, longitude, timezone, and privacy detection to a $49/mo paid tier. Thousands of projects broke overnight. We rebuilt the same data — from the same public RIR feeds — and committed to keeping every field free on every plan.
What we do differently
Every field, every plan
City, region, coordinates, timezone, postal, ASN, organisation, datacenter, VPN. We don't ship partial data and charge you for the rest.
Fair overage, no surprise 429
Exceeding your quota doesn't cut your API off — it bills transparently at your plan's rate. Warnings at 80% and 95%. Set a spend cap if you want one.
No request-content logging
We count requests. We don't log the IPs you query. Our database has your email, your key hash, and two monthly counters. That's it.
MMDB if you want to self-host
Don't want outbound HTTP on every request? Download a monthly MMDB snapshot with the same fields.
Our cost to serve is low enough that we can price below the alternatives and still have margin. You can read the full cost model in our overage billing section.
Where the data comes from
The substrate is public — ARIN, RIPE NCC, APNIC, LACNIC, AFRINIC all publish daily delegated-extended files that assign every IPv4 prefix and every ASN to a country and an organisation. Cross-reference them and you have 256,000+ prefixes and 520,000+ ASNs covering every announced address on the internet, refreshed nightly.
Data-centre detection is a curated, continuously updated list of hosting provider IP ranges (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Cloudflare, DigitalOcean, OVH, Hetzner, Vultr, Linode/Akamai, et al.). VPN detection is the same list plus known VPN provider ASNs.
We don't do probabilistic ML city inference. Our city-level data comes from a combination of RIR city fields where present and authoritative geo feeds. We're honest about what's high-confidence and what isn't — see the accuracy notes.
Principles
- No paywalled fields. If we return it, you see it.
- Honest pricing. Overage is published, not buried. Cap it from the dashboard if you're anxious.
- Minimal data retention. We store what we need to bill you and nothing else.
- Transparent data sources. Our data foundation is public registry records and open, redistributable datasets. We do not resell paywalled commercial datasets.
What's next
In order of ship-date: downloadable MMDB snapshots (available now on demand, monthly Pro subscription cadence rolling out June 2026); an EU endpoint for customers who need EU data residency — contact us if this matters to you; Snowflake export; and a probe network for accuracy validation against live traffic.
