When it comes to stopping fraud and identifying risky users, your IP intelligence provider matters. If you’re using (or considering) IPQualityScore, this article will help you understand how CandycornDB compares — and why more developers are switching over.
CandycornDB is an API-first tool. We prioritize speed, simplicity, and modern RESTful access to real-time threat intelligence — no bloated dashboards or confusing layers.
IPQualityScore offers a wide range of features, but many of them are locked behind a heavy UI or complex integration steps. It can feel like a legacy tool trying to do too much.
We score IPs as they come in — fast and fresh. Our threat database grows every hour, and we openly show how many IPs we’ve scored in the past 24 hours.
With IPQualityScore, it’s hard to know how fresh the data is. You’re often relying on static lists that are updated behind the scenes — but without insight into timing or source quality.
CandycornDB responses are designed to be minimal, useful, and readable. We don’t overload your app with 50+ flags you don’t need — just clean risk scores, context, and enrichment.
IPQualityScore responses can be cluttered and inconsistent. You often get a wall of booleans, vague confidence levels, or marketing signals like "abuse velocity" that don’t tell you much.
We publish our pricing. You know exactly what you're paying for. Our free tier is actually useful, and you don’t need to talk to sales to get started.
IPQualityScore pricing can feel opaque. There are confusing credit systems, API caps, and features split across unclear tiers. It's not always easy to know what you’re getting.
If you're tired of outdated fraud APIs and bloated dashboards, give CandycornDB a try. We're building the future of IP risk scoring — fast, transparent, and developer-first.
