Compare IPWho with leading IP geolocation APIs in one place. Review pricing, request limits, response data, and the practical trade-offs that matter before you choose a provider for production.
Get Your Free API KeyStart with the provider you already use or are considering. Each page covers pricing, request allowances, API workflow, and supporting performance data where available.
Four common starting points, each with a clear pricing, request-limit, or production-use difference to explore.
95% lower cost at 150K requests
Compare paid pricing with the difference between country-level and city-level data.
HTTPS and 2,000 free requests a day
See what changes between a quick free endpoint and commercial production use.
96% lower cost at 150K with security data
Compare request capacity and the fields available at each plan level.
60x more free requests for testing
Compare free limits, paid capacity, and the measured latency data.
Providers handle pricing, data access, and request limits differently. Use this as a quick checklist, then open the comparison page for the provider you are evaluating.
| Decision point | IPWho | What to check elsewhere |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing at your expected volume | Compare the free plan, the approximately 150K starter plan, and up to 7.5M monthly requests on the $10 annual-plan equivalent. | Check whether usage is measured in requests, credits, daily limits, or tiered allowances. |
| What each response includes | Location, timezone, currency, connection, and security data in one structured response. | Check whether important fields require a higher plan, an add-on, or a separate endpoint. |
| Multi-IP workflows | Single-IP and bulk lookup endpoints for application and batch-processing workflows. | Check whether multi-IP lookup is available through the API, a separate tool, or a higher tier. |
| Response controls | Field filtering plus JSON, XML, or CSV output for single-IP lookups. | Check which response formats and controls are available on the plan you would actually use. |
| Performance where users are located | Individual comparison pages include city-level measurement data where relevant. | Validate results from the same regions that matter to your own production traffic. |
| Planning as traffic grows | A request-based path from free testing to higher-volume production usage. | Check for plan thresholds, credit use, module gates, and overage rules before committing. |
Estimate the requests you expect today and after launch. Compare plans at those volumes, not only at the cheapest entry tier.
Check performance from the countries and regions that matter to your traffic. A result from one location does not represent every user.
Review the request limits, available fields, authentication, response formats, and error handling on the plan you would actually buy.
There is no single best provider for every use case. Start with your expected request volume, the fields you need, and the regions where your users are located. Then compare providers at the plan you would use in production.
Measure response times from the same regions where your users are located. Include DNS and TLS overhead, and repeat the test at different times to understand how results vary.
Verify field mapping, authentication, rate-limit behaviour, and error formats. Run both APIs in parallel on sample traffic before a full cutover to reduce migration risk.
The free plan is intended for evaluation and integration testing with core geolocation capabilities. Review the pricing page and documentation for current request limits, available fields, and production options.
Create a free API key and test IPWho with your own traffic. Then use the relevant comparison page to review pricing, response data, and workflow differences before you decide.
