The ipinfo.io Alternative With Countries, Cities & Exchange Rates
ipinfo.io is excellent for IP lookups — but it doesn't provide a countries list, state/province data, city search, or live exchange rates. ApogeoAPI bundles all four in a single API key.
The primary difference
ipinfo.io is purpose-built for IP intelligence: geolocation, ASN, VPN detection, and company data. It's the best tool for that specific job. But if your app also needs a country dropdown with ISO codes and flags, a city autocomplete, or localized pricing with live FX rates, you'd need 2–3 additional APIs. ApogeoAPI covers all four use cases with one key.
