Advanced GeoIP Redirect alternative: four other routes for country, state or city redirects

Why look for an Advanced GeoIP Redirect alternative

Look for an Advanced GeoIP Redirect alternative when country-only rules fall short. The free version redirects by country using MaxMind's GeoIP Lite database, with a choice of 301 or 302, a setting that skips bots and crawlers, and unlimited redirect rules. Pro costs $29.99 a year for one site (Basic), $129.99 for 10 sites (Professional) and $229.99 for unlimited sites (Business), as read on October 30, 2026.

Pro adds support for 25+ caching plugins, the GeoIP2 database and device rules. It is sold by the year or as a lifetime license, with no monthly billing.

Four alternatives to Advanced GeoIP Redirect, priced

The Geo Targetly button above leads to its site, where the 14-day trial starts.

Staying on WordPress: If-So or Geo Controller

If-So keeps geolocation inside WordPress. Its free tier covers 250 geo sessions a month, a session counts once per visit, and geo redirects are in the free version. If-So's guide calls 302 the safer default for geo redirects and lists JavaScript as its default method. The geo redirect WordPress plugin guide sets the four plugins side by side.

Geo Controller, formerly CF Geo Plugin, offers status codes 301, 302, 303, 307 and 308 and relies on an external API for IP lookups. Personal is $89 a year for one website with no refund guarantee; Freelancer, $132 a year for up to 5 websites, has a 14-day refund guarantee. The CF Geoplugin alternative guide covers the rename.

Pick If-So to begin on a free tier of geo sessions, and Geo Controller for a flat yearly license on one site.

Leaving WordPress or adding tools: Geo Targetly or Cloudflare

Pick Geo Targetly for state or city rules, or more than one location tool, on a site that is not WordPress. State, city and radius targeting come with every plan, every tool sits in one account, and any site that accepts a pasted JavaScript snippet can run it.

It meters pageviews, and each tool on a page counts again; the Dev plan has 1,000 a month. Geo Targetly pricing lists all six plans. The 14-day free trial needs no credit card and shows Geo Targetly branding on your site until you subscribe.

Pick Cloudflare for a country rule on a site already proxied through it: the country field is on every plan, including Free at $0 a month. The state field needs Business, a whole-site plan at $200 a month billed annually or $250 billed monthly. Cloudflare's documentation calls IP geolocation an estimate.
