ffraud vs ipinfo
| ffraud | ipinfo | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free, forever | Free tier, then paid |
| Field gating | All fields free | Privacy/company gated on paid |
| Fraud score | Yes | No |
| Abuse history + reports | Yes | No |
| Open ports + CVEs | Yes | No |
| Hostname + WHOIS abuse contact | Yes | Hostname yes, abuse gated |
| Open data (MIT) | Yes | No |
| Drop-in migration | One URL | n/a |
The free tier limits both request volume and which data fields you can access; the full dataset needs a paid plan.
