Is ours — see disclosure
There are a lot of IP tracker tools out there, and most of them do the same core thing: give you a short link, log who opens it, and show you the addresses. Where they differ is whether you need an account, how long the data sticks around, and how much is behind a paywall.
Below is a feature comparison of the three that are most commonly used, based on what each service documents and exposes publicly. It is a comparison of features, not a scored review — we have not run controlled accuracy tests, and we would rather say so than invent numbers.
