"High quality for a high price"
What do you like best about IPQS?

IPQS is one of the best services I've tried for detecting VPNs and residential proxies, especially since it provides FS, allowing me to determine the extent of the damage caused by the IP address. It also provides important information about the IP address, enabling me to make an informed decision regarding purchasing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IPQS?

The price is exorbitant; the cheapest package costs $100 and offers very few tests, but the quality is worth it, although the price remains high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"IPQualityScore is great against customer service abuse and online purchase fraud"
What do you like best about IPQS?

IPQualityScore has been the most helpful tool in my nine years of experience fighting fraud in online transactions and since we can perform deep analyses using it, we can eliminate almost any possibility of fake chargebacks and increase our authorization rates with their chargeback guarantee system. Also IPQualityScore makes it a little bit easier to implement and continuously manage, thanks to the responsive and always available support staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IPQS?

While IPQualityScore is a great fraud prevention tool, the web portal is rather slow and it would also be great if they could support the asian market further, in particular and update me when the algorithm is changed as I would greatly appreciate it and this would greatly help me enhance my strategies of fraud prevention.

"IPQS is probably my first choice due to its unmatched dependability and accuracy"
What do you like best about IPQS?

I value IPQS very much as it offers much higher speed, dependability and accuracy than my previous vendor and fast reaction times and excellent dependability make us much more suited to quickly screen prospective clients. And the simplicity of the dashboard and the abundance of useful tools also allows me to quickly access most data about specific users and according to my personal experience using it also helps me to spot fraud quicker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IPQS?

While it’s a great service, IPQS is quite expensive when put against other IP lookup companies out there and for small tasks, it gets pretty hard to rationalize even if those other options aren’t as exact since the cost variance is fairly hefty. Also more people would use it without worrying about its accuracy if only there were more reasonably priced tiers or flexible pricing alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"IPQS provides custom rules real time detection and fraud prevention"
What do you like best about IPQS?

The manual email check feature found in IPQS is actually one that I like best that it enables me to thoroughly verify email accounts associated with transactions and I also find the fraud scoring, web profiling and data breach options extremely useful for daily operations. Also, I just like the general interaction of IPQS with our systems; it brings strong fraud detection without really forcing more systems to be that much more complicated, which is very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IPQS?

IPQS may be deceptively slow as processes tend to take far too many change approvals. Opening too many panels at once may slow down the platform, decreasing its efficiency and I also need external tools for better data analysis because it doesn't provide such complex tools.

"IPQS proved very beneficial to us and was a great value for money also"
What do you like best about IPQS?

With IPQS we were able to upgrade our security systems and the appeal of IPQS is very great to me because it enables us to validate user digital identities without going through the manual or kyc verification process. And the upgraded security of our systems has allowed us to prevent not just financial but also reputational losses which I think is more important for any business or company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IPQS?

The site's loading speed isn't always steady for example, it's really annoying ot have to refresh the page while logging into the website and if there are more users accessing the same account, a significant delay is noticeable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very easy to use and can be handled without any problems at work"
What do you like best about IPQS?

IPQS has some of the best support I have ever come across, with responses generally within a day. And one of the most beneficial features of IPQS that I found is the manual email check tool which allows users to verify the account associated with a transaction and this helps me streamline my daily tasks without much effort. Email and device intelligence quickly spot fake email addresses and devices around account creation. Our Risk Team uses IPQS to review accounts in order to prevent chargebacks, affiliate fraud, and bonus abuse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IPQS?

Dashboards cannot be made in IPQS, which is a disadvantage because businesses cannot enjoy using their preferred dedicated dashboard tools. One lack of IPQS is that it does not link associate players with Device and Browser hashes; not all hash values are relevant. Great integration, which also acts as envisioned as a fraud prevention mechanism. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"IPQS is the most outstanding ip fraud score checker tool of all the ones I have ever used"
What do you like best about IPQS?

The api of IPQS is really outstanding as it enables us real time blocking of possibly any dangerous emails or ip addresses and it's user interface not only gives us both correct and useful answers but also guides us through the api configuration procedure. And their customer service is also top class and we heavily rely on them to solve any issues we have to keep our system secure and safe from any dangerous emails or ip addresses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IPQS?

IPQS provides us with a large range of solutions meant to help us enhance our overall security but large ip or email lists can make it to become slow, so we had to suffer delays rarely. Also their service comes at a pretty heffty cost and falls on the more costly side of the spectrum so I would definitely appreciate if they lowered their prices.

"IPQS is a fantastic solution that will help you find the malicious IP addresses and unwelcome emails"
What do you like best about IPQS?

IPQS provides a lot of information that I may use to improve my security decisions and though there haven't been fraudulent lately, the fraud score tool looks at behavior over the long period of time in order to stop the usage of malicious IP addresses. Furthermore, the simple interface of the program helps me to arrange the data based on degree, therefore accelerating the risk assessment procedure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IPQS?

It would be great to be able to vary the level of risk for warnings and provide more thorough background on the reputation of particular email accounts and more material would also help first-time users grasp its sophisticated capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Daniel Naqvi of IPQS

Amazing, Jared! It’s awesome to hear that IPQS has been helpful in spotting malicious IPs and emails while making your risk assessments faster and easier. We appreciate your feedback about adding more options for risk levels and email details—it’s a great idea, and we’re always looking to improve. Thanks for trusting IPQS to keep your systems and users safe, that's what we do best!

"We have been using IPQualityScore for over a decade since it is consistent and reasonably priced."
What do you like best about IPQS?

Since the beginning of this decade, every one of our websites has been IPQS as the primary fraud detection service. We use it to verify the validity of every visit to our website by means of proxy and IP address data analysis of individual users, therefore spotting those with high fraud rates. Also if you register for their monthly plan, which gives you 5,000 points, this service is free and provides more accurate results than its rivals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IPQS?

The situation is not very horrible; nonetheless, they should change from a subscription-based system to a pay as you go based one. And it is crucial to keep this in mind that we don't need all the services that the subscription offers and also sometimes we don't use it completely so there is leftover which is somewhat unpleasant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Daniel Naqvi of IPQS

Thank you, Yulia! It’s awesome to hear that IPQS has been your go-to for fraud detection for so long. We’re glad our proxy and IP analysis tools have been accurate and reliable for your needs. Thanks for the feedback on the subscription model—we’ll keep that in mind as we keep improving. We appreciate you sticking with IPQS and sharing your experience!

"The most exact IP fraud score detector I have ever came across"
What do you like best about IPQS?

Having worked in cyber protection for more than eight years, I regularly find myself in circumstances where I must find the fraud score of an IP address to verify if the connection is real. And I have tested a lot of apps including IPQS, IPinfo, Scammeralytics, and few more. But IPQS caught out as the most accurate and gave 5,000 free credits to try it out. And I have always used it since then, and today our company checks IP addresses for fraud using it as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IPQS?

With the monthly 5,000 free credit, you can test them; but, if you do not utilize all the other services, you might not receive the value for your money as their membership plans are expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Daniel Naqvi of IPQS

Thank you, Linda! It’s great to hear that IPQS has been your go-to solution for accurate IP fraud detection and that it has supported your work in cyber protection. We’re glad the free credits helped you get started, and we appreciate your feedback on the membership plans. We're always striving to deliver the best value for our users. Thanks for trusting IPQS for your IP fraud detection needs!
