Standard response

Keep Common Connection Data in One Lookup

IPWho includes ASN, ISP, organization, domain, and connection type in the standard lookup response. Field filtering lets the application return only the data it needs.

Why switch

Switch from ipbase when production value and workflow fit matter.

• You need about 150K monthly requests at a lower entry price.
• You want up to 7.5M monthly requests at the $10 plan level.
• You need field filtering and user-agent context.
• You want all core fields available without moving through higher tiers.

When not to switch

Stay with ipbase when its specific strengths are central to your workflow.

• You rely on ipbase's SDKs, dashboard, or exact developer workflow.
• Its current plan already covers your request volume and fields.
• Migration and field remapping would cost more than the expected savings.

Production-safe migration

How to compare ipbase and IPWho before switching

1. Identify your current monthly request volume, required fields, and response format.
2. Choose the IPWho plan that matches the production volume you expect.
3. Create an IPWho API key and test both APIs with the same sample IP addresses.
4. Map field names, authentication, errors, and response-format differences in staging.
5. Validate bulk lookup, field filtering, and any security or connection fields your application uses.
6. Move production traffic gradually and monitor response differences.
