6 free alternatives to Geolocated.io

IPGeolocation.io's free plan gives you 1,000 API credits per day for life, with no credit card required and no overages on the free plan. It includes core geolocation lookup by IP, country metadata, currency data, ASN basics, organization data, coupled time zone data, and access to standalone Time Zone, Astronomy, and User Agent APIs. Compared with Geolocated.io, it gives you a broader set of adjacent API surfaces, especially if you want separate time zone or user agent endpoints. It falls short on daily volume, since Geolocated.io allows 2,000 requests per day and this plan allows 1,000 credits per day. Switch if you want more API variety and can live with lower daily throughput.

• Beats Geolocated.io: More adjacent APIs and data modules, including standalone Time Zone, Astronomy, and User Agent APIs.
• Falls short: Lower daily quota, with 1,000 API credits per day versus 2,000 requests per day.
• Who should switch: Switch to this if you want a broader geolocation toolkit and your daily usage is modest.

IP2Location.io's free plan includes 50K IP Geolocation API queries per month, plus 500 Domain WHOIS API queries and 50 Hosted Domain API queries. It also includes 11 IP attributes, daily database updates, standard support, basic geolocation data, and basic proxy detection with open proxies detection. That makes it a better fit if you care about monthly planning and want some domain-related lookups in the same free account. It falls short of Geolocated.io on raw geolocation volume if your traffic is steady day by day, because Geolocated.io's 2,000 per day can add up to more monthly headroom than 50K only when used at the top end. Switch if you need multiple free API types under one roof.

• Beats Geolocated.io: More free endpoint types, especially Domain WHOIS and Hosted Domain lookups.
• Falls short: Less straightforward daily geolocation headroom because the free quota is monthly, not daily.
• Who should switch: Switch to this if you need geolocation plus domain intelligence on a single free plan.

IPLocate.io's free tier offers 1,000 requests per day and keeps the same API endpoints and data accuracy as paid plans, with no credit card required and no throttling or hidden limits beyond the daily quota. It includes full geolocation data, threat and privacy detection, company information, and network information such as ASN, organization, registry, abuse contact details, and RIR/RWHOIS data. It beats Geolocated.io on breadth, especially if you want threat, privacy, and network intelligence in the free response. It falls short on daily request count, since Geolocated.io gives you 2,000 requests per day. Switch if data completeness matters more than volume.

• Beats Geolocated.io: Richer free response data, including threat, privacy, company, and network information.
• Falls short: Lower daily request quota, at 1,000 requests per day.
• Who should switch: Switch to this if you want the broadest free IP intelligence payload and can work within a smaller daily cap.

Abstract API's IP Geolocation API free tier includes ASN, location, timezone, country flag, currency, company information, security data, and domain data for 1,000 requests per month, with a 1 request per second rate limit. It is useful when you want a compact response with security and company fields alongside geolocation, and when a monthly quota fits your workflow better than a daily one. It beats Geolocated.io on included security and domain data in the free tier, but it falls far behind on volume, since Geolocated.io allows 2,000 requests per day. Switch if your usage is light and you want richer enrichment fields.

• Beats Geolocated.io: Includes security and domain data in the free tier.
• Falls short: Much lower volume, at 1,000 requests per month and 1 request per second.
• Who should switch: Switch to this if you only need light usage and want more enrichment fields in each response.

The IP API's free tier gives you 1,000 requests per day, geolocation data, ASN and company information, commercial use, and daily data updates, with no email support. It is a straightforward free option if you want standard IP lookup data that can be used in production without a credit-card step. Compared with Geolocated.io, it gives you commercial use on the free tier, which is the cleanest distinction. It falls short on the overall free toolkit, since Geolocated.io also includes self IP lookup, batch IP lookup, CORS domains, and several modules. Switch if commercial use on the free tier matters more than extras.

• Beats Geolocated.io: Commercial use is included on the free tier.
• Falls short: Fewer free extras, with no self IP lookup, batch IP lookup, CORS domains, or modular add-ons listed.
• Who should switch: Switch to this if you need a simple commercial-friendly free lookup API.

ipapi's free trial offers up to 1,000 IP lookups per day, about 30,000 per month, with standard IPv4 and IPv6 support, HTTPS access, and limited bulk IP lookup capability. It is designed for testing and development use, so it suits projects that need a familiar lookup flow and are still in evaluation mode. It falls short of Geolocated.io on free-tier usefulness for ongoing work because it is framed as a trial and does not promise production-grade free usage. It also gives you less free daily headroom than Geolocated.io's 2,000 requests per day. Switch if you are still evaluating and want to test a classic IP lookup API.

• Beats Geolocated.io: Better fit for evaluation, with trial-oriented access and limited bulk lookup capability.
• Falls short: Less daily capacity and a trial framing rather than a clear ongoing free tier.
• Who should switch: Switch to this if you are testing an IP lookup integration rather than running a long-lived free workload.
