Apologies for the late response. It's awesome to see they're using our data. I did not know that.

> wouldn't it be possible to just let users download the IPinfo data and use it locally? Does IPinfo offer database downloads?

Of course, you can download our free IP database right now: IPinfo Lite

> Also asking for potential personal use: How does the quality of IPinfo data compare to MaxMind, DB-IP, etc?

We are miles ahead of everyone in terms of accuracy. Currently, we have 1,100+ PoPs across the world running active measurements. While traditional IP geolocation services are no much more than ASN/ISP reported data aggregation and parsing services. Our priority above all is accuracy and at this moment we are likely the industry leader for that.

If you have the time, go through some of our posts in our community and you will be surprised how good our data is right now. I will share my recent favorite one:
