In general ipinfo.io has the best data and the best product out there in the IP API niche. It is what it is. Your data is the most accurate and most updated.

Hosting detection is a finite process, meaning that there is a finite amount of hosting providers out there to detect after all. Challenge lies in staying up to date.

So maybe we can make a compromise and state that ipinfo.io is likely a bit better than ipapi.is in hosting detection.

But ipapi.is for sure detects some hosting provider's that you don't. Examples:

https://api.ipapi.is/?q=185.45.13.144

https://api.ipapi.is/?q=185.50.248.0

https://api.ipapi.is/?q=91.102.88.0

Summary: Your product is maybe a bit better in regards to hosting detection than https://ipapi.is/, but it is much much much much more expensive ;)
