BigDataCloud delivers lightning-fast APIs, a globally distributed network, frequently updated datasets, a generous free tier, and transparent pricing—engineered for developers, small businesses, and enterprises that need reliable, privacy-respectful geolocation and related data services.
Optimised for speed
Our APIs are engineered for sub-millisecond processing, returning results within a fraction of a millisecond in typical cases. This responsiveness keeps your user interfaces snappy and your backend workloads efficient, even at scale.
Popular, developer-friendly endpoints—such as the Free Reverse Geocode to City API—are tuned for low latency and consistent performance.
Globally distributed network
We operate a worldwide, multi-region infrastructure so each request is served by the closest available server. This geographic proximity minimises network hops and reduces round-trip time, improving reliability and user experience across Australia, Asia–Pacific, the Americas and EMEA.
Industry-leading data freshness
Decision-making demands fresh data. We update our datasets far more frequently than typical providers, across the full product range. This higher refresh cadence improves accuracy, reduces stale results, and helps you act quickly and confidently.
If you’re evaluating accuracy, review our continuously updated IP Geolocation Accuracy Report and our explainer on why our Reverse Geocoding API is free while remaining high-quality.
Free service with full functionality
Our free tier offers the same remarkable speed and core functionality as paid plans, supporting small businesses, startups and individual developers. There’s no “second-class” experience—just great performance and quality data.

Security and risk teams can also explore our Hazard Report overview and the Hazard Report API for proactive fraud and abuse detection.
Transparent, flexible and fair pricing
We keep pricing simple and predictable: no hidden fees, no confusing overage rules—just plans that scale with your needs so you only pay for what you use.
Our approach is designed to be developer-friendly, supporting projects of every size—from free usage for experimentation to fair and scalable paid options. For specific details, contact us and we’ll help you find the right fit.
