These three sit at different layers of the automation stack rather than competing directly. Microsoft Power Automate is a broad workflow and RPA orchestrator…

Different layers of the automation stack
Power Automate orchestrates end-to-end business processes and RPA bots, Invantive Cloud aggregates data from many cloud apps into a single warehouse, and IP2Location.io answers one narrow question (where is this IP or domain?) via API. They're rarely a straight substitute for one another.
Invantive Cloud, IP2Location.io, Microsoft Power Automate
Included with what you already pay for
Power Automate's standard connectors ship bundled inside a Microsoft 365 subscription, an embedded-cost advantage that neither Invantive Cloud nor IP2Location.io offers — both are priced and billed as standalone products.
Microsoft Power Automate
Free-tier depth differs sharply
IP2Location.io's free tier is usage-based and generous (50,000 queries per month) regardless of which connector you use, while Invantive Cloud's free tier is restricted to a single connector (Exact Online only) — everything else requires the €59/month plan.
IP2Location.io, Invantive Cloud
Only one of the three runs actual RPA bots
Microsoft Power Automate is documented as running attended and unattended RPA bots that perform tasks, not just move or connect data. Invantive Cloud and IP2Location.io are both read/aggregate-style integration tools, not process-automation robots.

There's no documented native connector between the two in the available data. IP2Location.io is delivered as a standard API, and general-purpose automation tools like Power Automate can typically call external APIs as a step, but you should confirm connector or HTTP-action availability directly with each vendor rather than assume a pre-built integration exists.
Microsoft Power Automate, since its standard connectors are included with an existing Microsoft 365 subscription at no extra cost, with Premium features starting at $15/user/month only if you need advanced connectors or RPA bots. Invantive Cloud and IP2Location.io are billed as separate, standalone products.
Invantive Cloud is a data-integration and reporting platform — it pulls data from 105+ cloud apps like Exact Online, Salesforce, and HubSpot into one virtual data warehouse for analysis. Power Automate is a workflow and RPA platform built to automate multi-step business processes and run bots, not primarily to consolidate data for reporting.
Only if you exclusively use its Exact Online connector, which is available on the free tier. Connecting any of its other 105+ supported apps requires the paid plan starting at €59/month.
50,000 queries per month on its free tier, according to its listed starting price, before you'd need to move to a paid plan.
Microsoft Power Automate is the only one of the three documented as running attended and unattended RPA bots. Invantive Cloud and IP2Location.io are both integration/data tools — they move or return data but don't execute task-performing bots.
