If you mean MaxMind geoip by 'on-site geolocation' I can't see the complexity. I am confident, there are PHP bindings for that - hence I can't see why that'd mean 'Pro feature'. On the other hand, if you'd be prepared to maintain KokoAnalytcs' own GeoIP DB, that's another question... |

Why limit to country? State was the missing feature that dismissed this plugin as a valid solution for us. Cities exist. |

The issue is mainly that MaxMind requires an account / license key to use their database and the database can't be included in the source code of the plugin because of its licensing. So we would need to add a mechanism for users to authenticate with MaxMind and then periodically refresh the database. It's of course possible, but a lot more complex than simply shipping the database file inside the plugin source. I'm not sure I am ready to support that on a free basis. |

Hm.
I was under the impression, that the legacy database is free – at least in
Debian you can (at least could) just say `apt-get install
geoip-whatever-legacy`, and those guys are pretty serious about licensing.
Perhaps the free version could come without database, and the user could
provide their own (by WP upload or OS path); the pro version would however
take care of the whole thing.

For new visitors, increment the count for their respective country. Because this would need on-site geolocation (since we don't want to send IP addresses across the wire) this would most likely be best suited as a Pro feature.
