Looks quite similar to Ipregistry (https://ipregistry.co) but with higher world-wide latency, lower accuracy, no client libraries, etc. I mean what value your service brings compared to existing services?

Also, the pricing looks weird. Are you serious with your unlimited pack for a fixed price? Can you handle 2B requests a month for $250 with consistent latency? How frequently are you updating your data?

Our pricing structure puts us on a different level compared to all other competitors. I confirm the Pro Tier allows for unlimited lookups, still maintaining consistent latency and stability.

Our platform is completely powered by Microsoft Azure, which allows for a huge level of scalability and stability even under high loads. Which means, we can maintain a consistent latency even under 2B requests a month.

We are updating our data daily, cross-referencing multiple data sources to achieve maximum accuracy.

In terms of accuracy, at the moment, we are using MaxMind databases which guarantees high accuracy, on top of that, we are already in the process of building our own GeoDatabase which will add even more details and information to our offer.

Finally, we already offer open source client libraries for PHP and .Net on GitHub:
