Netlify vs ipify: common questions

Which is more reliable, Netlify 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 Netlify and ipify need an API key?

ipify needs no key, while Netlify requires a free API key. If you want to start calling without signup, reach for ipify first.

Can I call Netlify and ipify from the browser?

Yes — both Netlify 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 Netlify and ipify free for commercial use?

Netlify 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.
