Clarifying API Plans vs Downloadable Databases

We’ve noticed some confusion recently about what’s included in our API plans versus our downloadable databases. We wanted to take a moment to clarify things so you can make the best decision for your use case!

Our API product is available through self-service: https://ipinfo.io/pricing

To access our database downloads product, please reach out to our sales team at https://ipinfo.io/contact

API plans only provide access via our live API endpoints. If you need a full database file you can download, that’s offered separately as a downloadable product.

The Only Exception to this Rule: IPinfo Lite

The IPinfo Lite product offers both an API and a database download for free.


For the paid products like Core, Plus, and Enterprise, the API products can be purchased through self-service.

IP database downloads (Core, Plus, Location, Residential Proxy etc.) can be purchased through consultation with the sales team.
