--- title: "IP Geolocation API Pricing" slug: "/pricing.html" parent: "IP Geolocation API" description: "IP geolocation API pricing with monthly credits for location, ASN, company, security, and abuse data. Start free and scale with predictable plans." --- ## IP Geolocation API Pricing Summary All plans are billed in **API credits**, not requests. Every API call is charged in credits, and the cost per call depends on the endpoint and the data fields requested. Each response includes an `X-Credits-Charged` header showing what was billed. See [what each call costs](https://ipgeolocation.io/documentation/credits-usage.html). The Free plan includes 1,000 credits per day forever with no credit card required (for non-commercial use only). Paid plans include a monthly credit allowance and can be billed monthly or annually. Annual billing costs 10x the monthly price for 12 months (2 months free, about 17% off). Extra usage on paid plans is billed in overage blocks at the rates below. Enterprise pricing is custom. | Plan | Included Credits | Credits Reset | Price (Monthly Billing) | Price (Annual Billing) | Effective / Month (Annual) | Overage | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Free | 1,000 | per day | $0/month | $0/year | $0/month | None (hard limit, no overage charges) | Forever free.

traffic. Fast lookups, consistent responses, and data you can trust when it matters. Schema-stable API, upgrade without rewrites Same endpoints and response shape across plans. When you scale, you get higher limits and expanded coverage, not breaking changes. ![schema-stable](https://static.ipgeolocation.io/web-assets/images/pricing/schema-stable.svg) Global performance, contract-grade reliability, real support Global edge servers keep latency low across regions with 99.99% uptime. Teams also get responsive support over live chat, email, and phone. Always-on collection, built in-house Proprietary crawlers run 24/7 across the globe, backed by active measurements, so lookups reflect what is happening now. Accuracy from multi-signal validation Each result is formed from independent signals and cross-checked for consistency. Freshness at serious scale Data pipelines process terabytes of data and trillions of records daily, so decisions are based on current internet activity. Weighted resolution for conflicting inputs When signals disagree, resolution is weighted toward the strongest evidence. This improves edge-case quality and reduces false alerts. # Put IP Data to Work Turn IP context into fraud checks, geo rules, personalization, and faster incident response. ![Fraud Prevention and Risk Scoring icon](https://static.ipgeolocation.io/web-assets/images/pricing/fraud-prevention.svg) ### Fraud Prevention and Risk Scoring Score signups, logins, and payments using IP location, ASN, network type, and security signals.

Annual plans reset yearly. Use credits across all endpoints during your billing period. Paid plans mainly differ by monthly credits and per-credit cost. If you exceed monthly credits, extra credits are billed at your plan rate. Every response includes `X-Credits-Charged` so you can see exactly what was billed.

No credit card is required. Free plan is best for testing, prototypes, and low-volume projects. ### What is included in one credit? **Answer:** A standard unified IP lookup uses 1 credit. Security in the unified response adds 2 credits, and Abuse Contact in the unified response adds 1 credit. Real-Time VPN and Proxy Detection is billed per call rather than per module, and coupling it with IP Security costs more per call. ### Should I use unified endpoint add-ons or standalone APIs? **Answer:** Use add-ons when you need a full unified response in one call. Use standalone APIs when you only need one data module, such as Security, Abuse Contact, Time Zone, or User Agent. Real-Time VPN and Proxy Detection is a third delivery model: a client-side script that runs live network tests in the browser instead of a server-side lookup. ### Are there rate limits? **Answer:** No. There are no rate limits. ### Which lookups are available on paid plans? **Answer:** Paid plans support lookup by IPv4, IPv6, or domain. ### Can I switch between monthly and annual billing? **Answer:** Yes. You can switch billing cadence from your account. The new billing cycle starts when the plan change is applied. ### Where can I see usage details? **Answer:** Your dashboard shows credits used, credits remaining, and historical usage trends so you can plan capacity. ### Can I use multiple API keys? **Answer:** Paid plans support extra API keys, which helps teams separate usage by service, environment, or product. ### How do paid credits reset? **Answer:** Paid monthly plans reset every month. Paid annual plans reset every year. Credits do not roll over to the next billing period. ### How is Real-Time VPN and Proxy Detection billed? **Answer:** It is billed per call and draws from the same credit balance as your API requests, so it needs a paid plan. Coupling it with IP Security using include=security costs more per call than running it standalone. Our [Credits Usage Guide](https://ipgeolocation.io/documentation/credits-usage.html) lists the exact cost of each. To try it first, run the [live detection demo](https://ipgeolocation.io/real-time-proxy-and-vpn-detection.html) for free. A free trial is also available. [Contact our support team](https://ipgeolocation.io/contact.html) to arrange one. ### Do all paid tiers include the same data? **Answer:** Yes. Starter, Plus, Pro, Business, and Premium include the same feature set, including Real-Time VPN and Proxy Detection. They differ by included credits and overage pricing. ### What happens if I exceed my paid credits? **Answer:** Additional usage is billed as overage based on your plan. You can track usage and spend from your dashboard. ### What is available on Free vs Paid? **Answer:** **Free:** core geolocation + time zone + currency + country metadata + basic ASN. **Paid:** adds company/network + extended ASN + optional modules like User Agent, Security, and Abuse (Security/Abuse add extra credits), plus Real-Time VPN and Proxy Detection, billed per call. ### Can I upgrade or downgrade later? **Answer:** Yes. You can change plans as usage changes. This is common when moving from testing to production traffic. ### Do you support IPv4 and IPv6? **Answer:** Yes. Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported. ### Do you offer enterprise contracts? **Answer:** Yes. Enterprise includes custom volume pricing, onboarding, invoicing, and contract terms tailored to your deployment.
