Image to Link vs ipify: common questions

Which is more reliable, Image to Link or ipify?

Only ipify 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 Image to Link and ipify need an API key?

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

Can I call Image to Link and ipify from the browser?

Yes — both Image to Link and ipify 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 Image to Link and ipify free for commercial use?

Image to Link has unclear commercial terms, and ipify allows commercial use on its free tier. 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.
