Our take
Over the last decade, the depth of IP address data needed to optimize and protect organizations around the world has grown exponentially. IPinfo performs internet-wide scans, processing terabytes of data to provide custom IP geolocation, company, carrier, and in-depth IP type data sets.
Though the company is up against a large pool of players in the IP Address Intelligence Software market, IPinfo has prevailed as one of the leading providers handling over 40 billion requests a month.
Ranging from non-profits to Fortune 500s, the company boasts an impressive list of customers, including T-Mobile, Nike, DataDog, DemandBase, and Clearbit.
Since the company’s comprehensive and scalable API platform can be utilized by any industry, there is constant opportunity for innovation and growth. Should IPinfo continue to optimize its data offerings and make strategic partnerships (as it has with Datarade), it will further solidify itself as a top market competitor.
