ipstack Reviews & Product Details

At a basic level we gather geo-location information from the IPs we collect through our service. IPStack can go the extra mile and provide even more information like security information (is it a crawler, proxy, or what is threat level). All very useful. Their support has been excellent as well! The API integration is super easy too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only recently did they have a network outage which broke some things in our service. We have since put more fail-safes in place. They got it back up and running and all is good now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ipstack is incredibly easy to integrate — the API documentation is clear, and within minutes I had geolocation data enriching my app. The accuracy of location data (especially at the city and region level) is strong, and the API response times are fast. I particularly like the additional data points such as timezone, currency, and connection type, which help with personalization and fraud detection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the free tier is useful for testing, it has limitations (like HTTPS support and request volume). The pricing can feel a bit steep if you’re working on a smaller project. Accuracy at the very granular street-level is not always perfect, but for regional/city-level targeting, it’s reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about ipstack is its accuracy and simplicity. It provides detailed, real-time geolocation data including country, region, city, and ISP information through a fast and reliable API. Its clear documentation, high uptime, and easy integration make it ideal for IP-based personalization and security applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about ipstack is that advanced features like HTTPS encryption and higher request limits require a paid plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the ease of implementation of ipstack, as I simply need to generate the token and use the URL to consume the geolocation API. I also appreciate the amount of useful data it provides, which is very beneficial for identifying the region of our customers and tailoring our service offerings accordingly. Additionally, the accurate geolocation information, including coordinates and additional information, is extremely useful for our operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the usability of ipstack, finding it easy to set up for my projects. The accuracy of geolocation is crucial for me, and I rely on it heavily to match locations on a three JS globe.
