That's interesting but what sources are you supporting? are you crawling them periodically? at what rate?

They are not the cheapest, but most often will be one of the most accurate thanks to their latency triangulation.
IPInfo appears to have good data, but their main advantage is strong marketing. They've effectively built a community of fanboys by publicly sharing techniques and methods that other major providers have been using for years or even decades.

In general ipinfo.io has the best data and the best product out there in the IP API niche. It is what it is. Your data is the most accurate and most updated.
Hosting detection is a finite process, meaning that there is a finite amount of hosting providers out there to detect after all. Challenge lies in staying up to date.
So maybe we can make a compromise and state that ipinfo.io is likely a bit better than ipapi.is in hosting detection.
But ipapi.is for sure detects some hosting provider's that you don't. Examples:
https://api.ipapi.is/?q=185.45.13.144
https://api.ipapi.is/?q=185.50.248.0
https://api.ipapi.is/?q=91.102.88.0
Summary: Your product is maybe a bit better in regards to hosting detection than https://ipapi.is/, but it is much much much much more expensive ;)
Let's people judge. There is no perfect solutions.
A great IP intelligence solution is also ipregistry.co

In case anyone needs a all around good IP api with excellent threat intelligence that is not that expensive as IPinfo is, I suggest to use https://ipapi.is/
https://ipapi.is/ is not as good in regards to geolocation, but our hosting detection is more advanced and https://ipapi.is/ is much cheaper...
You also have ipregistry.co (https://ipregistry.co/).
The idea is great but you will never compete with a solution like Google translate: one simple reason is that Google Translate is highly specialized and optimized. Did you try to compare the processing time?
Running an opensource AI model to perform translation may help and work in some cases but to be honest this has also a lot of limitations. The first being processing time and the second languages support. I am not even considering accuracy.
