Fidro vs IPHub

IPHub tells you about an IP address. Fidro weighs that alongside the email and the location, remembers earlier signups, and returns one decision your code can act on.

Last updated: March 2026

What is Fidro?

Fidro is a fraud detection API for developers. One call checks an email address and an IP for disposable domains, VPNs, proxies, Tor and datacenters, remembers earlier signups and logins, and returns a 0 to 100 risk score with an allow, challenge or block recommendation. On the Pro plan it also scores Stripe payments. The free plan includes 200 validations a month, no credit card needed.

Where Fidro differs from IPHub

More than the IP

IPHub tells you about the network. Fidro adds email checks, disposable domain detection and location matching in the same call, and Stripe payment scoring on Pro.

A decision, not a data point

Fidro weighs the network signals with everything else and returns allow, challenge or block, so you don't write scoring logic around raw flags.

Common questions

What is the difference between Fidro and IPHub?
IPHub is a lightweight IP classifier: it returns a block score indicating whether an IP looks like a proxy, VPN, Tor node or datacenter address. Fidro takes the same class of network signal and combines it with email validity, disposable-domain detection and location matching to produce one risk score with an allow, challenge or block recommendation.
Is IPHub free?
IPHub has a free tier of 1,000 queries per day, which is far more generous than Fidro's 200 validations a month if all you need is IP classification. Residential proxy detection is reserved for its Professional plan. Paid tiers are available for higher volumes.
Does IPHub detect residential proxies?
Only on its Professional plan. The free and Basic tiers cover VPNs, Tor exit nodes, open proxies and datacenter ranges but not residential proxies. Fidro does not currently detect residential proxies either, so if that is your specific requirement, IPHub Professional is the more direct answer.
Should I use IPHub or Fidro?
Use IPHub if you want cheap, high-volume IP classification and will write the fraud logic yourself. Use Fidro if you want the signup decision made for you across email and network signals together, and want the same integration to cover payment risk later. IPHub is the better narrow tool; Fidro is the better complete answer.
Can I use IPHub and Fidro together?
Yes, though most teams would not need to. If you specifically need residential proxy detection from IPHub Professional alongside Fidro's email and decision layer, the two answer different questions and do not conflict.
