IPPure Score Explained: How It Differs From ping0 and IPQS
Read an IPPure result correctly and know what to compare it with.
What the IPPure score is
IPPure is a public IP lookup that shows location, network type, a risk score and browser details for the address you connect from. In its FAQ, a higher score means a riskier IP. The score is built from internet risk databases and honeypot statistics, it fades over time as old risk records age, and an IP with no records is judged from the range around it.
Two things follow. The number belongs to the address and its neighbours, not to your account. And it is one tool's opinion: the FAQ we read gives no numeric bands, so do not borrow another tool's thresholds for it.

Read on 13 November 2026 from the IPPure FAQ, our guides on Scamalytics and ping0.cc, and the Scamalytics bands as recorded in our fraud-score guide. Scores from different tools cannot be converted into each other.
Check the IP that your account really connects from, through the proxy, not your home line. IPv6 addresses are not scored by IPPure, so use the IPv4 exit.
Step 2: read the network type before the number
If the IP is labelled datacenter or hosting, the score is not the main question. See the ASN and organisation first.
Expected result The network type matches what you bought.
Open Scamalytics or another lookup for the same address. If both say worse than expected, change the address; if only one does, repeat the test the next day.
Each tool collects its own signals. IPPure uses risk databases and honeypots and lets old records fade; Scamalytics applies a score across the same subnet or network. A recent complaint on one neighbour can raise one number and leave another unchanged for a while.
IPPure also says its data can be corrected when the owner provides valid references, so a result that looks wrong is worth checking again later or reporting through its own process.
IPPure says higher risk than ping0.cc or Scamalytics
Check Is it the same address and the same day? Are the other tools reading neighbours or labels rather than a score?
Fix Repeat the next day; compare network type and native status, not only the number.
Stop when If every tool you try flags the address, ask for a different IP instead of retesting for days.
No score appears
Check Is the address IPv6? IPPure does not score IPv6.
Fix Use the IPv4 exit of the proxy and test again.
The score changed overnight
Check Did records age out or new ones arrive for the range?
Fix Treat a single reading as a snapshot; test on two days before you decide.
IPPure and AI accounts
People often run an IPPure check before signing in to Claude or ChatGPT. The score is a public lookup, not the view of Anthropic or OpenAI. For an AI subscription, a fixed address in a country the service supports, with time zone and language that agree, matters more than one number.
IPQS has its own score and scale, which we could not read, so compare the two only by looking at each on its own site; scores from different tools are not interchangeable.
Test your IP as soon as the page opens: network type, native or broadcast, the SpamCop blacklist, time zone, language and WebRTC, plus how to read each result.
Read on 13 November 2026: data comes from internet risk databases and honeypot statistics; an IP's risk score decays over time based on risk records; an IP with no records is inferred from its range; IPv6 is not scored; higher means riskier; native IP means the registered IP matches the server's country. The FAQ gives no numeric bands.
Read on 13 November 2026: lists IP geolocation lookup, IP risk assessment, fingerprint information and VPN leak detection, and says wrong data can be corrected with valid references.
Read on 13 November 2026: the Scamalytics score runs from 0 to 100 with four bands (0-19, 20-59, 60-89, 90-100) and is applied across the same subnet or network.
