# Which IP address intelligence software has the best coverage and reliability for developer use cases?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Hi G2, I'm trying to work out which IP address intelligence software gives developers the best coverage and reliability, using G2 ratings and review themes.

<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/ip2location/reviews"><strong>IP2Location</strong></a> (4.6, 52 reviews): a local database option developers say removes network latency and third-party dependency, strong on broadband coverage.</li>

&lt;p&gt;The local-database option makes IP2Location an interesting comparison here. If geolocation sits in a latency-sensitive request path, removing the API call entirely could matter more than a small accuracy advantage elsewhere. I’d benchmark IPinfo and IP2Location against the same production traffic and compare misses by network type, not just overall accuracy.&lt;/p&gt;
