SEATTLE, Feb. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — IPinfo, the internet data company, today announced it has been named to G2’s 2026 Best Software Awards, placing in the top 50 on the Best Development Software Products list. IPinfo is joined by companies including Jira, Salesforce, and GitHub, and is the only IP intelligence provider that’s been awarded.
As the world’s largest and most trusted software marketplace, G2 reaches over 100 million buyers annually. Its annual Best Software Awards rank the world’s best software companies and products based on authentic, timely reviews from real users. This recognition validates IPinfo’s mission to deliver a foundational understanding of how the internet operates by transforming raw signals into clear, reliable context that organizations can act on.
“Being recognized by G2, alongside such dominant industry leaders, is especially meaningful because it reflects the voices of our customers,” said Ben Dowling, founder and co-CEO at IPinfo. “We’ve built IPinfo around the belief that people deserve better internet data. This award demonstrates that our customers see the difference, whether they’re preventing fraud, strengthening security, or improving digital experiences. When companies rely on IP intelligence to power their operations, accuracy and trust matter. We’re proud to deliver both.”
“As buyers increasingly shift to AI-driven research to discover software solutions, being recommended in the ‘answer moment’ must be earned with credible proof,” said Godard Abel, co-founder and CEO at G2. “Our Best Software Awards are grounded in trusted data from authentic customer reviews. They not only give buyers an objective, reliable guide to the products that help teams do their best work, but they’re also the proof AI search platforms rely on when sourcing answers. Congratulations to this year’s winners, including IPinfo. Earning a spot on these lists signals real customer impact.”
