I just tried your https://ipinfo.io/8.8.8.8 method and I note that it provides a LOT more information (CIDR, Company, City, State, Country, Postal, Timezone, Coordinates, ASN, Abuse Details, and more) than your previously mentioned Lite product (which returns only Country, Continent, and ASN) I compared IPinfo’s answers to MaxMind’s https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip-demo answers, for a random recent visitor from 44.198.66.156 to my website https://cryptosystemsjournal.com/ and one notable difference is that you specify a larger CIDR block of 44.192.0.0/11 (2,097,152 addresses) whereas MaxMind specifies a much smaller CIDR block 44.198.64.0/19 (8,192 addresses).
