IP-Atlas vs ipgeolocation.io

Plans at a glance

Per-thousand cost at the 2M-req comparison point: IP-Atlas ~$0.01, ipgeolocation ~$0.13 — a ~13× difference. At Scale ($249 vs $250), IP-Atlas delivers 16× the included volume.

Fields & add-on modules

Both services cover country, region, city, coordinates, timezone, ASN, and organisation. The differences are in the extras:

• IP-Atlas: is_vpn and is_datacenter are always present on every tier. No add-on modules.
• ipgeolocation.io: Charges per separate module — Threat Intelligence, Abuse Contact, and Astronomy — on top of the base geolocation plan. Each module is priced independently and unlocked per tier.

When ipgeolocation.io is the right choice

• Your volume is tiny (<30K/mo) and you don't need privacy detection — their free tier is fine.
• You need the Astronomy module (sunrise/sunset/lunar) — we don't offer that.
• You have a prior integration and migration cost exceeds the savings.

When IP-Atlas is a better fit

• Your steady-state is 1M–50M requests/month — our pricing is 8–16× more generous.
• You need VPN or datacenter detection and don't want to pay module surcharges.
• You value published overage billing over silent quota-reached 429s.
