About
IPinfo is an IP data platform that provides IP geolocation, ASN, privacy detection, mobile carrier, company, hosted domains, abuse contact, IP ranges, and WHOIS data through APIs and downloadable databases. The service exposes structured IP intelligence for individual lookups and bulk data use, with formats including JSON, CSV, MMDB, Parquet, and cloud marketplace integrations.
The free offering is IPinfo Lite, which includes country-level geolocation and ASN name/domain data, unlimited API requests, 50 web lookups, and database downloads. The pricing page shows that Lite does not include city-level geolocation, privacy detection, carrier, company, WHOIS, or other advanced datasets, while paid plans add progressively more fields and higher request limits.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is genuinely usable, but it is tightly capped: it includes unlimited monthly API requests only for country-level data, plus 50 web lookups and database downloads, with no credit card required. Compared with the cheapest paid plan at $26/month, it delivers roughly half the price in practical value, but with much lower feature depth, so about $13/month is a fair estimate.
