IPinfo review
Broad IP intelligence across APIs and downloadable databases, with a free entry tier.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
IPinfo provides APIs and downloadable databases that enrich IP addresses with location, network, carrier, and privacy information. Developers, analysts, and organizations can use these signals for cybersecurity, compliance, user experience, content delivery, and data analysis. Its scope spans geolocation, ASN and ISP details, VPN and proxy detection, IP WHOIS, ranges, and hosted domains, with features varying by plan. It is suited to teams that need more than a basic location lookup; organizations with narrow or country-only needs may be well served by Lite.
The plan structure makes the entry point clear. IPinfo Lite costs $0 per month and includes country-level geolocation and unlimited API requests. Core costs $26 per month with annual billing and adds city-level geolocation, VPN, Tor, proxy, and relay detection, with 150,000 API requests per month. Max costs $163 per month with annual billing, includes 250,000 API requests per month, and adds residential proxy detection and service names. Enterprise has custom annual pricing and 1M+ API requests per month. These tiers provide a path from basic location data to broader detection needs, though buyers should weigh annual billing and request allowances when selecting a paid plan.
IPinfo's breadth is a notable fit for teams combining location with network intelligence: the product also covers carrier and mobile network information, hosting and other network flags, and downloadable databases. Listed integrations include Snowflake, Google Cloud / BigQuery, Splunk, Microsoft Security Copilot, ticura, AbuseIPDB, and Carahsoft. It is available through web and API access, with cloud deployment and documentation support. Choose it when those multiple data types and integrations matter; consider a narrower alternative if only country-level location is needed or if a team needs support beyond documentation.
