Estimate Your Monthly Cost.
Pay only for what you use. The first 100,000 LITE lookups every 30 days cost nothing and need no top-up at all; past that, every call debits credit at the exact unit cost. Drag the slider to see what your traffic costs and the smallest top-up that fits — top-ups start at $10, so until the part you pay for clears about 66,666 LITE queries in that same window, that minimum is what you pay.

Your estimate
Covered by your free allowance — the first 100,000 LITE lookups every 30 days cost nothing.
Credit is only spent past 100,000 LITE lookups in a 30-day window.
Card & PromptPay accepted when you need to add credit
Top-up expiry ladder
Larger top-ups buy a longer use-by window, and credit closest to its expiry date is always spent first. The window is set by the top-up amount rather than by when you bought it, so a small top-up can expire before credit you bought earlier.
Upcoming change, effective September 15, 2026 (00:00 UTC): purchased credit will stop expiring and this table will be removed. Signup credit is not affected.
| Top-up amount | Expires after |
|---|---|
| $10 – $24.99 | 30 days |
| $25 – $49.99 | 60 days |
| $50 – $99.99 | 90 days |
| $100 – $249.99 | 180 days |
| $250+ | 1 year |
Or just look up the rate.
The calculator is the same rate, applied to the calls you pay for. Here it is in raw form.
Geo + ASN from the local MMDB. Sub-5ms latency, no upstream calls.
Fully enriched. Threat flags, VPN / proxy / Tor / hosting, company, carrier.

Two endpoints, two rates, one key.
The same API key hits both endpoints. Each call debits your credit at its own rate — you are never charged for both.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the credit balance work?+
You add credit to your account in USD. Past the free LITE allowance, every successful API call debits the per-call rate against your balance. When the balance hits zero, requests pause until you top up.
Do I need a credit card to start?+
No. Every new account gets 100,000 free LITE lookups per rolling 30 days, plus $5 of credit on signup that covers ~33,333 more LITE queries. The allowance is spent first; the signup grant is spendable on LITE only, while topped-up credit works on both LITE and MAX, and the grant expires 60 days after signup.
How is the batch endpoint priced?+
Each distinct, resolvable IP inside a batch payload is debited as one query at its own rate — malformed entries and private addresses are not charged, and a repeated address is charged once. A batch is capped at 100 addresses. A LITE batch is covered by the free allowance only when the WHOLE batch fits in what is left of it — one that would overrun the remainder is charged in full rather than split, and the free lookups still sitting there are not spent on it. Past the allowance the usual rate applies: $0.15 per 1,000 LITE queries.
What payment methods are supported?+
Card top-up is available everywhere. Customers in Thailand can also top up via PromptPay QR.
Does my credit expire?+
Yes — on a sliding scale tied to the top-up amount: $10 – $24.99 lasts 30 days, $25 – $49.99 lasts 60 days, $50 – $99.99 lasts 90 days, $100 – $249.99 lasts 180 days, $250+ lasts 365 days. Credit closest to its expiry date is spent first, so a smaller top-up can burn down before credit you bought earlier. Unused credit is forfeited when a lot expires, so top up for the window you will actually use. The calculator picks the top-up with the lowest real monthly cost for your volume, and tells you how many days it lasts rather than rounding it to a month. Upcoming change, effective September 15, 2026 (00:00 UTC): from that date credit you purchase will no longer expire and this ladder is removed. The signup grant is not affected and keeps its own 60-day window.
Is there a minimum top-up?+
Yes — $10, and it only applies once you need credit at all: the first 100,000 LITE lookups every 30 days are free and need no top-up. Past that, $10 buys ~66,666 LITE queries or ~7,692 MAX queries, and it expires 30 days after purchase. Below roughly that much of it the minimum is your real cost, not the unit rate: you would top up $10, use part of it, and forfeit the rest. The calculator says so on the estimate when it applies.
What is the difference between LITE and MAX?+
LITE serves geolocation and ASN data with sub-5ms latency. MAX adds threat detection: VPN / proxy / Tor / hosting flags, company info, abuse contacts, and carrier data.
Can I keep my balance from going to zero?+
Yes. Turn on auto-recharge in the dashboard — when the balance falls below your threshold we charge your saved card off-session for your chosen refill amount. Failed charges back off for an hour so a flaky card never gets retried in a tight loop.
