ipapi Locates IPs. Veriastra Scores Risk.
ipapi focuses on geolocation. Veriastra adds proxy/VPN/Tor detection and fraud scoring on every lookup.
Fraud built in
Risk scoring and anonymizer detection come standard, not as extras.
Anonymizer detection
Flag proxies, VPNs, Tor exit nodes, and datacenter IPs.
1 credit, from $1.50 per thousand
IP intelligence is a core validation: 1 credit per lookup, on tiers priced under the equivalent 1lookup plan at every level.
Where ipapi is the better buy
Every product has a job it is built for. These are the jobs where ipapi is the answer and we are not, said plainly so you can tell in two minutes whether the rest of this page applies to you.
Cheaper and simpler for plain geolocation
If the question is which country and city an address sits in, a dedicated geolocation API answers it for less than a general-purpose credit costs. We would rather say that than sell you signals you will not read.
A free tier you can build against
Enough free calls to finish an integration before paying anything.
