Companies Using ipapi.co

We detect ipapi.co on 41,649 domains, including DHL Express, AT&T, HP. A detection means the technology is present on that domain, which for large organisations is often a single storefront or subdomain rather than a company-wide deployment. Among domains we matched to a company with a resolved industry, the most common is IT Services and IT Consulting (6.06%).

We detect 41,649 domains running ipapi.co across our monthly crawl of live business domains. Company data could be matched for 21,399 of them (51.4%), and every company-size, industry and country breakdown on this page describes that matched subset rather than the full detected base. A further 13,414 domains carried a ipapi.co detection previously and no longer do.

ipapi.co holds 14.42% of the Visitor Identification category, ranking #2. This is a share of the domains we detect running a platform in this category — not a share of all websites, and not a share of spending — so it is not directly comparable to figures published on other denominators.

The top alternatives to ipapi.co include FingerprintJS (25.81% market share), Leadfeeder (12.57% market share), ip-api (10.27% market share), Zoominfo (10.13% market share) — measured as a share of the domains we detect running a platform in this category.

The United States at 5,312 of the companies we can place, then India at 1,968, the United Kingdom (1,430), Brazil (907), Germany (757) and Australia (729). India that high is what a free, no-signup developer API looks like: adoption follows where developers are rather than where budgets are.

53.86% have 10 employees or fewer and 27.9% have 11 to 50, so over 80% are under 50 people. Large companies do appear, but usually on a portal or regional storefront rather than a flagship domain.

Among the ipapi.co domains we could match to a company with a known founding date, most were founded in the 2020s (28.07%), followed by the 2010s (40.6%). That matched subset is drawn from 21,399 companies and is not representative of all 41,649 detected domains. This suggests ipapi.co is most popular among relatively young companies.

The ideal ipapi.co customer is: Company Size: 1-10 employees, Industry: Software and IT services, Location: US or India, Founded: 2010s or later, Use case: Currency and language switching — based on our analysis of 21,399 enriched companies at TechnologyChecker.io.

We detect ipapi.co on 41,649 active domains as of our August 2026 crawl, second in the Visitor Identification category at 14.42%. We match it on the outbound request the page makes to ipapi.co, so a detection means the call actually fired while we were on the page rather than that a script tag was present.

No, and the category name is misleading here. ipapi.co returns a location for an IP address: country, region, city, timezone. It does not identify a person or a company. Visitor Identification as a category mixes three unrelated things: device fingerprinting (FingerprintJS), IP geolocation (ipapi.co, ip-api, MaxMind) and B2B company resolution (Leadfeeder, Zoominfo). Compare within a group, never across.

There is a free tier of roughly 1,000 lookups a day with no signup, then paid plans above that. That limit explains the shape of the data: 53.86% of the companies we can size have 10 employees or fewer, because the free allowance is permanently sufficient for a small site and immediately insufficient for a large one.

ipapi.co is larger in our data, 41,649 domains to 29,663. They are direct substitutes with different free tiers (ipapi.co caps by day, ip-api by requests per minute). The interesting result is that sites do not move between them: of the 12,343 domains that dropped ipapi.co entirely, only 86 now run ip-api, which is 0.70% against a 1.04% rate among domains that kept it.

Almost always a regional decision made in the browser: setting a currency, choosing a language, or redirecting to a country site. The stack supports that reading, with Shopify on 22.13% and WordPress on 25.05%, and the enterprise examples make it concrete: DHL on mysupplychain.dhl.com, HP on parts.hp.com, Sephora on inside-sephora.com.

Often. 13,414 domains have dropped it since we began tracking in March 2026, about 32% of the current base, and they do not reappear on a competitor. Every alternative we tested came out at or below its base rate among leavers. A free lookup is a single line of code, so it comes out when a rate limit bites, when the feature is dropped, or when someone decides not to send visitor IPs to a third party.

Yes, and it is a different company. Our dictionary carries a separate ipapi entry (894 domains) for ipapi.com, an unrelated vendor, and its rule includes a script path pointing at ipapi.co's JSONP endpoint. 275 of those 894 domains, about 31%, also match ipapi.co here. It is a small row and it does not affect this page's count, but it is worth knowing the two names are not the same service.

A single signal: an XHR from the page to ipapi.co/. That is a strong form of evidence, because the request has to have been made while our crawler had the page open. It is also a narrow one: a lookup that only runs on a checkout page, or only after consent, will not be seen. Treat the count as a floor.
