FFraud
The free, open ipinfo alternative.
ipinfo is a popular, developer-friendly IP geolocation and privacy-detection API. FFraud gives you the same signals, plus a fraud score, abuse history, open ports and WHOIS, free for everyone, with no usage caps, and published as MIT open data.
FFraud vs ipinfo.
| Feature | 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.
Change one URL. Keep your code.
FFraud returns ipinfo's flat shape with the nested privacy object your code already reads, plus a fraud score, abuse history, open ports, and a WHOIS abuse contact ipinfo does not include, at no cost.
