24 alternatives to IPAware – Unlimited IP Intelligence API with Flat Pricing

Hey HN, We built IPAware (https://ipaware.io) - an IP intelligence API that doesn't charge per request. What it does: - IP geolocation (country, region, city, coordinates, timezone) - Threat detection (VPN/Proxy/Tor, risk scoring, datacenter detection) - ASN/ISP data - Clean JSON responses Why we built this: Every IP lookup service we tried had the same problem - you start small, your app grow and suddenly you're paying hundreds for what should be a commodity lookup. The metering anxiety is real. We wanted something we could integrate without worrying about the bill…

    IPDetective collects data from about 60+ different sources such as official cloud provider endpoints and public VPN/Proxy/Tor/Bot net lists. Then aggregates this data into a fast and easy to use API that can be integrated into applications or scripts easily. IPDetective started as a hobby project for my other hobby projects :) and I decided to wrap a simple website around and offer it as a service. Let me know what your thoughts, if you find value in this service or if you have any feature requests.

    The curl API for WorldIP is now live and completely free to use. You can hit it right from your terminal: curl worldip.io — returns information about your requesting IP. curl worldip.io/8.8.8.8 — returns details on any specific IP. The main differentiator here is that we aren't just wrapping another provider's API and reselling their data. We built and run our own global infrastructure capable of scanning the entire IPv4 space in about a day. Happy to answer any questions about the scanning infrastructure or the stack!

    Hey! I'm a solo developer having fun learning Go. I have a side hustle and wanted to implement currency localization. I could use existing IP databases, but hosting on serverless is slow. So I built my own. I was surprised how fun it can be to use Go, and it's fast. Thankfully, Go's speed makes up for my dodgy code. Anyway, I'd love to get some feedback on my website/API. After a few weeks of testing and losing money on ads, I'm confident it's very reliable. This isn't a promo. It's basicly free (30k lookups/month), so there's no need to pay. Any advice or tips on how to grow and…
