IPLocate vs Beeceptor
Same instrument, two spec sheets — measured, not claimed.
IPLocate vs Beeceptor: common questions
Which is more reliable, IPLocate or Beeceptor?
Only Beeceptor 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 IPLocate and Beeceptor need an API key?
Neither needs a paid key — IPLocate is callable with no signup, and Beeceptor is callable with no signup. Both are quick to prototype with; rate limits still apply.
Can I call IPLocate and Beeceptor from the browser?
Yes — both IPLocate and Beeceptor 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 IPLocate and Beeceptor free for commercial use?
IPLocate has unclear commercial terms, and Beeceptor 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.
