ipto vs ipgeolocation.io
ipgeolocation.io is probably the most feature-complete service in this whole comparison set — modular API, threat scores with confidence and last-seen dates, abuse contacts, a 12-language response, even a separate Astronomy API. Almost all of that depth sits behind a paid plan; the free tier covers location, country metadata, currency, ASN, and timezone only.
| Feature | ipto | ipgeolocation.io |
|---|---|---|
| Free-tier security data | VPN, Tor, abuse score — all free | None — security module is paid-tier only |
| Threat score | 1–10, free | 0–100, paid tiers |
| Per-signal confidence + last-seen date | No | Yes, paid tiers |
| Response localization | 6 languages | 12 languages |
| Downloadable datasets | ASN + IP ranges, free | MMDB/CSV/JSON, paid |
| Published uptime SLA | Not yet | 99.99%, paid tiers |
| Astronomy / sunrise-sunset API | No (out of scope by design) | Yes, separate product |
| User-Agent / device parsing | Yes — GET /v1/ua, browser/OS/device/bot detection, also on the account dashboard | Yes — dedicated /v3/user-agent and /v3/user-agent-bulk endpoints, or ?include=user_agent on the geo endpoint |
When ipgeolocation.io might fit better
- You need DST transition data, abuse contact emails, or company/hostname enrichment — these sit behind their paid tiers but go deeper than ipto offers today.
- You want a response localized into one of their 12 supported languages, or need the Astronomy/User-Agent APIs as separate products under one account.
When ipto fits better
- You want VPN, Tor, and abuse scoring without a credit card — ipgeolocation.io gates all of its security module behind paid plans.
- You'd rather not learn which of six separate "modules" your plan does or doesn't include before you know what a response will contain.
FAQ
Is ipgeolocation.io's threat data free?
No — the IP Security module (VPN/proxy/Tor/bot detection) requires a paid plan. Its free tier covers only location, country metadata, currency, ASN, and timezone. ipto includes VPN, Tor, and abuse scoring free.
Which has more total fields?
ipgeolocation.io does, once you're on a paid plan — DST details, abuse contacts, hostname, and company data go deeper than ipto currently returns. The free-tier comparison flips the other way.
