ipdata.co Alternative
ipdata.co is a great choice when threat intelligence is critical (VPN/Tor/proxy detection). If you need IP geolocation bundled with currency localisation, a countries database, and cities search — ApogeoAPI covers those use cases with a clean, developer-first API.
When ipdata.co wins
- • You need VPN, Tor, or proxy detection (fraud prevention)
- • You need mobile carrier and ASN data
- • Your primary use case is security intelligence, not geo data
- • High daily request volume matters more than monthly totals
When ApogeoAPI wins
- • You need IP geo + live exchange rates in one response
- • Your app shows prices or content in local currency
- • You need a full countries + states + cities database
- • You want one API, one bill, one rate limit

How many free requests does ipdata.co offer?
ipdata.co offers 1,500 requests per day on its free plan. The free plan includes HTTPS but has limited fields — threat intelligence and carrier data require paid plans.
Does ipdata.co include threat intelligence?
Yes, ipdata.co is well-known for its threat intelligence layer: it can flag IPs as VPN, proxy, Tor exit nodes, or hosting providers. This makes it popular for fraud prevention. ApogeoAPI does not include a threat intelligence layer — it focuses on geo + country + cities + currency data.
When should I choose ApogeoAPI over ipdata?
Choose ApogeoAPI when you need bundled exchange rates, a countries database, or a cities search alongside IP geolocation. If fraud detection or VPN/proxy detection is your primary use case, ipdata's threat intelligence is a strong fit.
