Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Doruk, and today we're launching IPAware - an IP intelligence API that doesn't charge you per request.
The problem: IP lookup services charge per request. You start with a side project, it grows, and suddenly you're paying hundreds for something that should cost a fraction of that. The metering creates anxiety and makes you second-guess every API call.
What IPAware does:
IP geolocation (country, region, city, timezone, coordinates)
Why it's different: Flat monthly pricing. $9.99/month or $99.90/year (2 months free) for unlimited requests. No surprises, no overages, no usage anxiety. Just predictable costs that let you build without worrying about the meter.
For developers:
REST API, no SDK required
Works with any stack (Node, Python, Go, PHP, and more)
Low latency with edge delivery
Simple integration (just HTTP + JSON)
Launch special: For the first 24 hours, the Pro tier is free for a full month. Sign up and claim it from your dashboard – you'll get unlimited requests for the entire month. After that, you can choose to keep Pro or switch to the free tier (5k requests/month). Entirely up to you, no tricks.
We built this because we were tired of IP lookup bills scaling faster than our apps. Would love to hear your feedback and what you think!
Congrats, Doruk! This is great news, and I wish you the best of luck with it.
The "IP intelligence without the meter" approach is definitely a standout. In scaling SaaS projects, request-based pricing often creates a lot of budget uncertainty, so moving to a flat fee with unlimited usage makes a ton of sense.
In the projects I’ve worked on so far, I’ve mostly relied on Cloudflare, which provides basic IP and threat signals. I’m curious about a few things regarding IPAware:
For a system already sitting behind Cloudflare, where exactly does IPAware provide the most added value?
How do you generate your risk scores? Do you maintain a proprietary dataset, or are you aggregating external threat intelligence feeds?
For VPN and datacenter detection, is the logic strictly ASN-based, or do you incorporate behavioral analysis as well?
How often is the data refreshed, particularly for volatile ranges like Tor exit nodes and newly provisioned datacenter IPs?
The positioning feels very clear and developer-friendly. It looks like a great alternative, especially for API-first products.
Huge congrats again—I hope you get some serious traction!

Hey Kerem, thanks a lot for the comment, really appreciate it!
To answer your questions:
- Yes, Cloudflare does provide a public WHOIS endpoint but it comes with rate limits. Our service is designed to be truly unlimited. We do have a fair usage policy in place but it’s flexible and can be adjusted based on a customer’s needs.
- We use our own internal algorithm for classification and do not rely on any third-party services for this.
- At the moment, the logic is primarily ASN-based with a few additional refinements. That said, we’re actively working on improving and expanding this logic over time.
- Our database is refreshed nightly using multiple data sources.
Let me know if anything needs further clarification, happy to elaborate!

Congrats on the launch For monitoring and security tools like this, a short demo video showing how alerts are triggered and how teams respond in real time can really help visitors understand the value instantly instead of trying to imagine it from text. I specialize in SaaS/product demo videos, so I always notice this looks like a really useful tool for teams managing infrastructure. Wishing you a strong launch!

Hey @growthfilmstudio , thanks a lot for the feedback!
Just to clarify, we simply return a flag to the end user via the API or through the WHOIS tool on our website if an IP address should be considered risky. We don’t take any action ourselves or enforce anything.
You can think of it purely as a signal layer. It’s entirely up to the user to decide whether to allow or block the IP based on that information.
But we’ll definitely consider adding a short video in our next launch! Thanks for the suggestion.
Wow, how did you make it so it doesn't charge per request?

Hey Finn, since the dataset is entirely ours, we’re only querying our own database and caching the results. That’s how we’re able to keep the service effectively unlimited without relying on third-party endpoints.

What IPAware does:
IP geolocation (country, region, city, timezone, coordinates)

Security signals (risk score, threat level, recommendations)
ASN/ISP data for connection context
Clean JSON responses that work with any language

@dorukalpulgen Good luck with the launch, I’ll definitely be checking this out.
Thanks @tugberk_sentepe!
@dorukalpulgen In this era of zero trust, we need tools like this, totally. commendable effort.
