IPLocate.io versus IPinfo
Compare	IPLocate.io	IPinfo
Verdict	Depends	Depends
Best for	Developers adding IP geolocation	Developers embedding IP geolocation in apps
Who it's not for	High-volume apps . the 1,000/day free cap runs out fast	Anyone doing one-off IP lookups . free lookup sites suffice
Privacy	No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.^³	No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.^⁸
Support quality	No support evidence in reviewed sources.	No evidence in sources reviewed
Public sentiment	No independent user reviews or quotable user feedback were found in the sources reviewed.^²	Review-platform listings exist on G2, Capterra, and GetApp, but sources reviewed contain no verbatim user feedback.^⁷
Biggest gotcha	Free cap is 1,000 requests/day; growth means a paid plan whose pricing wasn't verifiable here.^¹	Guess: usage-based billing can spike with traffic; cap requests before launch^⁵
