IPQualityScore is a fraud-scoring suite — IP, email, phone, and device reputation with an ML-backed risk score. IP-Atlas is an IP-data API. If you need a full fraud score, stay on IPQS. If you need clean geolocation + VPN/proxy booleans, IP-Atlas is 90% cheaper.

Per-1,000-lookups cost: IP-Atlas ~$0.01 on Developer; IPQS ~$20 on Startup. The difference is intentional: IPQS bundles fraud scoring, device fingerprinting, and bot detection into each request. If you don't need those, you're paying for a supercar to go to the post office.
