ipstack Reviews & Product Details

I love IPStack, the amount of data you get is amazing from simple data like where the IP is based to the currency, it has helped us with improving our customer's experiances without having to spend £1000's on mutiple APIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reporting tools could be a lot better and the pricing could be a bit better as we saw a large increase in costs as we had to move up a tier when we only needed a few 1000 more requests per month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the documentation lacked a question we had about threshold limits, when we asked support for it, they answered us within the day which is incredibly positive. Furthermore, their response times have been slightly faster than what other companies have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lacking documentation lost us a bit of time but the response team was quick and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ipstack provides a good, robust and easy to use API to get location data of a user based on the ip address. It was simple to implement into our application and provides valuable data for our analytics and general business logic requirements. The pricing doesn't bite and it's reliable so we didn't need to reach out to customer support! Battle tested by our daily use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe a minor feature, but caching needs to be implemented on our side. It would be great if look-ups of the same IP would be cached automatically at a certain tier, but other than that it's a good reliable tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find very to easy to implement into any project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Every time your app requests location data, it depends on ipstack’s uptime and speed. And also ipstack itself is GDPR compliant, but it doesn’t provide an easy way for you (as a user) to handle user consent or anonymization, which means you must handle that separately.

I like best about ipstack its accuracy, speed, and reliability in providing real-time geolocation data. It easily integrates with websites or apps, supports security checks, and delivers detailed insights like location, currency, and timezone, enhancing user experience efficiently.

I dislike that ipstack’s free plan has limited features and lower accuracy compared to the paid version. It sometimes delays in updating IP data, and advanced options like security detection require upgrading to higher, more expensive plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

{"I find the IP Geolocation Service from ipstack extremely useful because it allows us to display different homepages in various countries, enabling our prospects to see the right offers for their target market.","The integration of ipstack into our Tupper CMS was straightforward, and as far as I know, the setup went smoothly.","I appreciate the manageable costs of ipstack, which allow us to afford offering country-specific content to our customers."} Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it problematic that the service from ipstack automatically continues and is billed when the limit is reached, without me having to actively agree beforehand. This could lead to unwanted additional costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's free and 'do the job' (of course a nothing similar to a paid one but still amazing for tests, mvp's, etc, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe it's only me but I don't liked the site. The first time when I arrived at the site I leave because I thought it was a landing spam page. Also, two more things, 1 - Ease of Integration

, for me that is not a pro coder was easy. 2 - What is your primary role when using ipstack?* Below I lied, I put 'customer' but I define myself as hobbyst, curious. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I really like about ipstack recently is how easy it is to integrate and how fast the API responds—even when handling multiple requests. They've also improved their documentation a lot; it's clearer now, with better examples that make it simple to get started. I also noticed they now provide more detailed data for some locations, like better accuracy in city-level geolocation and updated currency/timezone info. It's small stuff, but it makes a big difference when you're building location-aware features that need to feel seamless to users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing that could be improved is the accuracy for mobile IP addresses—it can be a bit off sometimes, especially when users are on 4G/5G networks. Also, the free plan is great for testing, but it’s quite limited in terms of request volume and some of the data fields you get. It would be nice to have a bit more flexibility or maybe some middle-ground pricing for smaller projects or startups. Lastly, adding WebSocket support or real-time alerts for suspicious IPs could be a nice touch for more security-focused use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are using ipstack to perform geolocation queries for our clients. We find their API to provide instant responses to our queries and we are able to identify if a client gets logged in from an authorized country without delay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't found anything wrong up to now and I use the service a long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I needed it at the time for a project where we needed to identify user IP data from an application for auditing purposes, and it was really the one that best suited our needs and was the easiest to implement.

Its free plan, although it only has 100 requests per month, is useful for all the installation and configuration aspects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The free plan may fall short... however, the prices of their plans are not that expensive either. It's a matter of analyzing the benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
