IPinfo Lite

Powerful IP Data Without Limits. No card required.

Accurate country-level geolocation and ASN details for free. No monthly fees, no credit card required, and unlimited API requests.

Unrivaled data accuracy

Verified IP Accuracy. Not Estimates.

Most IP providers stop at noisy Whois and geofeeds. IPinfo goes further. We don’t just collect IP data — we verify it, validate it, and engineer it for developers.

They guess. We measure. And that makes all the difference.

Step 1: Collect & Clean

Like most IP data companies, we aggregate raw IP data from multiple sources as a starting point.

Step 2: Learn

Our proprietary algorithms then score and filter 20TB+ of IP data daily to measure accuracy and confidence.

Step 3: ProbeNet Ground Truth

1000+ live PoP’s map IPs around the world in real time, delivering unmatched ground-truth accuracy.

Step 4: Validate

A custom hint engine runs 400B+ weekly checks to verify and confirm every signal for total accuracy.

Step 5: Continual Updates

IP’s change continually… so our data refreshes daily to keep every lookup accurate, stable, and production-ready.

Since testers need to register on the website and fill out a number of forms, we realized that if we could figure out their country based on their IP address, we could prefill that field and improve the user experience.

The data is available right away, and you can try it on the website or use the API. The plans are flexible and can be adjusted to our changing request volumes. Most competitors, when it comes to their IP privacy data, require you to commit to a larger response – some back-and-forth with emails, going for a more expensive plan right away. And that's something we didn't want.

API integration was so simple. It was just one token and we were good to go. We modify services based on the geolocation of customers, for example customizing content based on the location of the user.
