FreeGeoIP vs GeoJS: common questions

Which is more reliable, FreeGeoIP or GeoJS?

Only GeoJS is on our probe schedule so far (—% uptime over 90 days). The other is catalogued but not yet live-checked, so we can't compare measured reliability head-to-head — check the uncovered API's own status page for now.

Do FreeGeoIP and GeoJS need an API key?

Neither needs a paid key — FreeGeoIP is callable with no signup, and GeoJS is callable with no signup. Both are quick to prototype with; rate limits still apply.

Can I call FreeGeoIP and GeoJS from the browser?

Yes — both FreeGeoIP and GeoJS send CORS headers over HTTPS, so front-end code can fetch either directly with no backend proxy. That makes them easy to swap in a client-side app while you compare responses.

Are FreeGeoIP and GeoJS free for commercial use?

FreeGeoIP has unclear commercial terms, and GeoJS has unclear commercial terms. We track service terms and the data license as separate fields — see the Commercial use and Data license rows above, and confirm both before shipping either in a paid product.
