Are there ways to determine the user's city without API limits?

Question

PHP

There is a task on the back (or front) to determine its approximate city by the user's IP (i.e. there will be a standard plate as in online stores with a city offer). Googled - everywhere it is proposed to use public APIs, but for all there are quite strict free limits of a couple of hundred requests per day, or the limits are paid. As I understand GeoIP has stopped providing a free service, Yandex also requires 18 thousand rubles a year to determine the city.

Is there a solution that can work without third-party services, or in this regard, apart from paid / limited APIs, nothing sensible can be done?

Answer 1

put yourself a free base from maxmind and update it periodically.

Answer 2

DaData seems to be not particularly limited.

The maximum request rate is 10 per second.
The maximum frequency for creating new connections is 60 per minute.
