On: Show HN: A New, Clean Geolocation API

"Free IP Geolocation API" vs. "Choose Your Pricing Plan"

What Geo IP service would people suggest instead?

I think the freemium model is pretty common in Saas. And I think a free tier of 45 000 requests a month, 1500 per day is pretty generous. Anything running as a hobby app/side project would run pretty well within that tier. Most users making more than 1500 requests a day have no issue paying.

I think 1500 per day is practically useless unless for a very small side project. My old blog got many more daily unique visitors, but YMMV.

[edit] Aside from that, I personally would not do business with someone describing his own offer as "pretty generous", but that's just me.
