In May 2025 ipinfo launched IPinfo Lite as its new free product — unlimited requests, but only country, continent, ASN and AS name. City, region, coordinates, timezone, postal, and privacy (VPN/Tor/proxy) detection moved to the paid Core tier at $49/mo. IP-Atlas is a drop-in that keeps every field free on every plan.
Pricing and tier data verified from ipinfo.io/pricing and ipinfo.io/lite as of 2026-04-22.

For equivalent field coverage (city + VPN/Tor + datacenter), the lowest ipinfo tier is Core at $49/mo. IP-Atlas delivers the same fields on the Free tier (2K req/day) and Developer $19/mo (2M req/mo).
const r = await fetch( `https://ipinfo.io/${ip}?token=${IPINFO_TOKEN}` ).then(r => r.json()); // On Lite: r.country, r.asn only. // On Core+: r.city, r.region, r.loc ("lat,lng" string)
const r = await fetch( `https://api.ip-atlas.io/json/${ip}`, { headers: { 'X-API-Key': IPATLAS_KEY } } ).then(r => r.json()); // Always: r.country, r.city, r.region, // r.latitude, r.longitude, r.is_vpn, r.is_datacenter
Field-name diffs to search-and-replace: loc ("lat,lng" string) → latitude + longitude (separate numbers); org on ipinfo includes the AS prefix (AS15169 Google LLC), IP-Atlas returns just the org name (GOOGLE) with asn as a separate integer.
No paywall on city, region, or VPN flags — included on Free.
Pass your quota and requests keep succeeding at a published rate ($10/M on Free + Developer). Warnings at 80% and 95%, optional hard spend cap.
Stripe Setup mode authorises the card so we can bill overage fairly; no charge unless you exceed your plan.
