Comparisons
Side-by-side pages that name the case where the other option wins. Every price and limit is quoted from the source it came from, with the date it was checked, so you can verify it rather than take our word.
Same IEEE data underneath. macvendors.com is cheaper above 10,000 lookups a day; ssid.ai adds randomized-address classification, router default logins and an MCP server.
Both flag randomized addresses, and since 2026-09-06 both resolve the MA-M/MA-S/IAB/CID sub-blocks to their assignee. maclookup.app allows 10 requests a second without a key and ships downloadable databases; ssid.ai adds router default logins, a compliance dataset and an MCP server. maclookup.app has stopped issuing API keys.
macaddress.io sold the vendor database as a file; ssid.ai adds router default logins, a compliance dataset and an MCP server. Includes our dated daily fetch record: macaddress.io has returned a Cloudflare 521 or 523 every day since 2026-08-13.
macadress.com sells a self-hosted license and free CC0 bulk database downloads, neither of which ssid.ai offers. Its MCP server requires a signed-up bearer key on every call; ssid-mcp runs over stdio or hosted HTTP with no signup and no key on the free tier.
