VERDICT

Should I use IPLocate.io?

Real-time geolocation and privacy detection API for developers and enterprises. Free up to 1,000 requests per day. - iplocate.io

Depends. Evidence is thin — most sources just mirror the vendor's own marketing page — so confidence is low. Developers with modest volume can try the free 1,000-request/day tier; teams needing SLAs, audited accuracy, or proof at scale should verify paid plans and competitors first.

Confidence

Low. Based on 7 public sources; most simply mirror the vendor's marketing page, so independent evidence is thin.

Best for

  • Teams needing SLAs, accuracy guarantees, or compliance docs
  • Non-technical buyers — this is a raw developer API
  • Risk-averse buyers wanting independent reviews before committing
