GeoIP2 products and services provide access to various kinds of data associated with IP addresses, including:

• geolocation (the approximate location in the world)
• network (the ISP, domain name, and connection type)
• user context and demographic data (user type, average income, population density, etc.)
• and anonymizers (VPNs, TOR exit nodes, and other proxies)

You can mix and match subscriptions to one or more databases in order to get access to the specific data that you need, or you can use GeoIP2 Precision Country or City web services for geolocation, or GeoIP2 Precision Insights for access to comprehensive data via a web service (find out more about the differences between our downloadable databases and our web services).

If you need to geolocate IP addresses

You should purchase GeoIP2 Precision web service credit for GeoIP2 Precision Country or City requests; or the GeoIP2 Country or City databases.

If you need network information about IP addresses

You should purchase GeoIP2 Precision web service credit for GeoIP2 Precision Insights requests; or the GeoIP2 ISP, Domain Name, or Connection Type databases.

If you need all of the above, plus richer IP intelligence data

Like user context, geolocation confidence factors, demographic information, and proxy detection, you should purchase GeoIP2 Precision web service credit for GeoIP2 Precision Insights requests; or the GeoIP2 Anonymous IP or Enterprise databases.
