IP-Atlas vs Spur.us

Spur.us is the serious residential-proxy and VPN-detection specialist — on-prem feeds, named VPN providers, granular classification. If that's your core need and $200/mo minimum is fine, stay with Spur. If you want VPN and datacenter signals as part of a broader IP-data API at 1/10 the price, IP-Atlas fits.

Privacy-detection depth

Spur's depth is meaningfully higher than ours or anyone else's:

Residential-proxy detection with named providers (Bright Data, Oxylabs, etc.) — Spur is the market leader here. IP-Atlas has this on the roadmap but not today.
Named VPN services (NordVPN, ExpressVPN, etc. — not just "is_vpn"). IP-Atlas gives you the boolean; Spur gives you the operator name.
On-prem feeds (Pro tier and up) — the full proxy/VPN dataset delivered via S3 / API feed for offline use.

For everything else IP-Atlas delivers — country, region, city, ASN, datacenter flag — Spur either covers lightly or not at all.

When Spur is the right choice

You're fighting residential-proxy fraud at scale and need named-provider granularity.
$200/mo is a rounding error in your ops budget.
You need on-prem feeds because your traffic can't reach an external API.

When IP-Atlas is a better fit

You need VPN/datacenter as one signal among many (geo, ASN, org), not the core of your stack.
$200/mo is a lot for privacy-detection-as-a-side-quest.
You don't need named-VPN-provider granularity — the boolean is enough.
