   I was thinking about switching IP geolocation sources when MaxMind updated their license [1] and made it harder to include, and was shocked to see just how many different services are out there [2]. This is a utility page to compare the results of ones that have a free tier. Let me know what you see. Anecdotally, they all seem decent, though IMHO I wouldn't count on anything besides country being completely accurate…
