Rate Limits
IPWho enforces rate limits to keep the platform reliable and fast for everyone. Limits are based on your plan and measured as requests per day.
Plan Limits
| Plan | Daily requests | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 2,000 / day | Personal, testing, and non-profit use. Hard limit applies. |
| Launch Special | 5,000 / day | Good for early-stage projects. |
| Startup | 250,000 / day | Designed for higher-throughput production workloads. |
| Enterprise | Unlimited* | Subject to fair use and contract terms. |
*Enterprise limits are governed by fair use and contractual commitments. If you need guaranteed throughput, contact us.
What Happens If You Exceed Limits
When you exceed your plan limit, the API responds with a 429 status and a “Rate limit exceeded” error. Free plan users may be prompted to add billing details to continue.
