Developer IP intelligence
The IP fraud API that shows its work.
VPN, proxy, datacenter, Tor and verified-crawler signals — plus a transparent risk score, geolocation and ASN. Flat pricing, no per-query metering, and a published accuracy benchmark. No card to start.

Why GeoQ
Three honest reasons to switch.
No "most accurate" claims. Just transparency, predictable pricing, and honesty about what each signal can and can't do.
Shows its work
A published, reproducible accuracy benchmark with our methodology — and a risk score with a documented formula, not a black box. You can see exactly why an IP scored what it did.
Flat, honest pricing
$0, $29, $99, $299. Daily lookup quotas, no per-query metering, no surprise overage invoices. The free tier needs no credit card.
Honest about limits
Signals are probabilistic, not facts — and each one ships with an evidence label (authoritative / inferred / beta) so you see how directly we observe it. We tell you what's solid and what's maturing, so you weight it correctly.
Coverage
Every signal in one call.
A single GET /v1/check returns abuse signals, geolocation, network data and a risk score.
VPN
Traffic from a known commercial VPN range.
Proxy
Open or anonymising proxy. Residential-proxy detection is beta.
Datacenter
Hosting/cloud IP with provider attribution (AWS, GCP, Azure, …).
Tor
Tor exit node from the public exit list.
Verified crawler
A verified good crawler (Googlebot, Bing) from the operator's published ranges — the bot you must NOT block. Not bad-bot detection.
Context, included
Country, region, city, lat/long, timezone, ASN and AS org — and a 0–100 risk score with reasons. No extra endpoints, no extra plans.
Transparent scoring
The risk score has a formula.
We sum the weight of every triggered signal and cap at 100. That's the whole formula. low < 30, medium 30–59, high ≥ 60. Tune the threshold to your own tolerance. Every response carries reasons[] — the exact signals that fired.
score = min(100, Σ weights of triggered signals)
Integrate in minutes

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is there really a free tier with no credit card?
How accurate is GeoQ?
What counts as a lookup?
/v1/check response for one IP. Cached repeats within your app are your call — we bill on requests to our API, on a flat daily quota, never per-query overage. See pricing.Are the signals guaranteed facts?
Do you detect bad bots?
is_verified_bot + verified_bot_name) like Googlebot and Bing, matched against the operators' published ranges — the bots you must not block. It's not behavioural bad-bot detection, and a verified crawler carries zero risk weight.Which signals are beta?
evidence label (authoritative / inferred / beta) so you can see how directly we observe it — that's a transparency label, not a probability claim.Start with the free tier. No card.
1,000 lookups a day, every signal, the same transparent risk score. Upgrade only when you outgrow it.
