From the forums
It is considered in r/selfhosted and r/linuxadmin as the trusted reference for IP geolocation. It is mentioned as a legitimate service with a generous free tier. The only debate is comparison with alternatives when pricing increases, but there are no functional complaints.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
What data does IPinfo return beyond country and city?＋
It returns ASN (network provider), connection type (residential, datacenter, mobile), coordinates, postal code and VPN or proxy detection on paid plans.
How accurate is city-level geolocation?＋
Accuracy varies. Country and region are very reliable, but city-level can be off for mobile IPs or large providers that centralize their IP ranges.
