  ipify operates two distinct commercial surfaces. The free public IP API
  (api.ipify.org, api6.ipify.org, api64.ipify.org) is permanently free,
  unauthenticated, and has no documented per-account quota. The IP Geolocation
  API (geo.ipify.org), operated by WhoisXML API, uses credit-metered tiered
  subscriptions — Free Trial, Basic, Advanced, Premium, and Custom. Each tier
  bundles a monthly credit allocation; credits are consumed at 1 per Country
  request, 2 per Country+City request, and 3 per Country+City+VPN request. The
  Geolocation pricing page is JavaScript-rendered, so the dollar amounts and
  monthly query counts captured here mirror WhoisXML API's standard tier
  pricing as of generation; `reconciled` stays false until verified against the
  live page.
