* Cut down on operating costs (From competitor)
* Saved us money due to preventing fraud/malicious actors
* Aided Email Hygiene
* Less headaches
* All my expectations have been met. Perhaps more detailed analytics in the future but I believe that is currently in their pipeline.

Pros

I was very impressed with how easy it was to integrate IPQS into my existing projects. I thought it would have required more work to get it incorporated into the business logic but it was relatively quick and took less than an hour. As for saving us money, it has exceeded our expectations in that regard. I was using another service but it was about 3-4x expensive and was about 10-25% less effective.

With IPQS we are able to build trustworthy antifraud IP database. We use it to eliminate or flag clicks with high risk to be suspicious or fraudulent

Pros

Well described and easy to use API,
High Risk IP score - is what we use the most
High range of possibilities
Free account for tests

Cons

Price, where we'd probably need something between free and Enterprise Mini account

These guys are great to work with. They've always been up for answering my questions and working with me on my monthly usage. In fact, we're bringing on another department in our organization to use them as well.

Pros

There's lots to like about IPQS, but I think what I like most is that (1) it really does a good job of getting bad data out of my contact list and (2) it gives me the kind of detail about the data I need to make decisions about it. For example, IPQS gives me a breakdown of email addresses that are actually invalid vs. the ones that have a higher likelihood of being spamtraps or come from disposable email services. Plus, it allows me to choose how aggressive I want to set my filter in case I have good reason to believe certain email addresses in question are actually valid.

Cons

There are a lot of options -- which is one of the services biggest strengths -- but it also means there's a little bit of a learning curve. Also, I'm not sure that the list of my previous batches should be listed in a dropdown menu since that can get pretty long. Still, that's a pretty minor complaint.

Alternatives Considered

Unbounce, ZeroBounce and NeverBounce

Reasons for Switching to IPQS

Depth / breadth of information available. An excellent price point for our size of database. Ease of getting started. A good team willing to help.

Great Customer Service and Excellent Product

Reviewed on 2023/11/02

Pros

Leverages data from many sources. API is quick to respond. We are a small fish in their big pond but they've taken care of us on a couple different occasions. Great for truly understanding which leads are trash and which ones are good. They aggregate data from multiple sources (and big name corporations); love that as a little guy we are able to leverage that aggregated data.

Cons

If you are looking for simple email and phone validation, this can be a pricey product to use for that (but if you are looking for true fraud IP and transaction scoring -- look no further).

We tested many solutions, and this is by far the one that could block all the vpns/proxies (even residential proxies) that we tested. It has a low false positive ratio while compared to other services. It can be a little pricey if you are looking to bulk check cheap traffic, for example, pop ups, but totally worth it if you are running arbitrage sites like us, buying social and display traffic. It protects our accounts from invalid traffic, that can lead to account closures, especially if you work with Google Adsense and Google Ad exchange. Offers great flexibility, options to whitelist/blacklist, tweak settings. I totally recommend this service.

Pros

The implementation is a breeze. IPQS offers different types of implementation for your site/app or anything really. We use it on our Wordpress websites and we implemented the service via a PHP file, that we include on the header. The fraud detection is A+, they detect bots and vpn/proxies connections that can be really harmful, especially if you are a ad publisher like us. The checking is done blazing fast, we implemented it before loading our site content, and when a user is detected as high risk, we redirect them to a page explaining that their access has been blocked and the likely causes, while the legitimate traffic loads our content without even noticing anything.

Cons

It’s a little bit pricey, but if you pick a higher plan with more credits it gets cheaper. The dashboard needs a new and more modern interface, but nothing too concerning, does the job.

Lists had been inactive for over two years and when I first tried mailing I lost an account because of my bounce score. I used IPQS to figure out which emails were bad (about 40% of them) and had no problems after that.

Pros

I had a number of lists to scrub and shopped around for email verification. IPQS has great pricing, fast turnaround and accurate results. Recommend!

Cons

I have nothing bad to say about the service. Worked great.

I am able to use it for verification and remove bad actors from my software in various situations and platforms.

Pros

I own a small IT business and the mini plan has worked great for me and my clients. The variety of features that they provide integrate seamlessly with my software products from websites to business software that I create. I link IPQS to this and can use anything including IP validation, email validation, and much more. The software is efficient and when I have faced any issues, I reach out to support and receive exceptional and quick responses which resolve the issue.

Cons

So far nothing has been disliked from my end.

I'm very satisfied. We were able to stop bots/abusive users from reaching our website.

Pros

We work with media buying and were in urgent need of a solution that could stop bots/abusive users that unfortunately are blended with legitimate users when you purchase traffic. We found IPQualityScore and we were able to start working with them right away by integrating into our website with a single line of PHP code. We had a few problems and their support is definitely one of the best I have ever experienced for online tools, they helped me tweak the settings and even with PHP. They followed up with me via email and phone. Their database/intelligence is the best when it comes to the detection of bots and abusive users, comparing to the other services I have tested.

Cons

The service is a little bit pricey, but when it comes to this area of media buying, it's very important to protect your online campaigns/website. Since their database for IPs is the best, their service is definitely worth it.

Has eliminated our duplicate user problems and stopped bots from scraping our site, which were both big issues before we implemented this API service.

Pros

Our company needed a service to eliminate duplicate users and abusive users, as well as scrapers and bots. We found that their anti fraud tools were the perfect match for tackling these issues. We were able to implement the proxy detection tool and use their email verification tool to improve our user quality.

Overall It has helped me preventing fraud, validating emails, and protecting my business. It's great for saving time/money and for peace of mind.

Pros

I liked how easy it was to deploy. IPQS has a lot going for it. Feature wise it is rich and adaptable to my specific niche which would have been tricky if I used another solution.

Cons

There wasn't anything I liked least about IPQS, I started using their software early on and it was a bit barebones at first but now it is much more feature-rich and no complaints here.

The batch check feature is amazing, I can upload CSV files and can get results in one go.

They are doing the way more than best that was expected from them. I wish them a good luck and feel proud to be associated with IPQS.

Pros

IPQS has made my work easy. I work for a organization that conducts online surveys and identifying unwanted elements is one of my KRA. They have made it real easy for me to hunt down happy spam eggs with the help of IP checks.

Cons

As such there is nothing I've come across that would push me to identify a negative aspects in IPQS. I know that revealing the original IP behind the masked ID is illegal, hence, there are no grudges in my mind for the team.
