If you want to compare the accuracy of different products, you can do so on this page:

To get the actual product comparisons, you'll need to enter a country in the input box. For instance:

https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip2-city-database-accuracy?cou...

You can try refining the distances to see how the different products compare. If you fiddle with it a bit, you'll see that the results do vary from country to country. So, "good enough" will depend on some combination of your tolerance for error + which countries you care about.

"GeoLite2 City" is the free version. It's one of the 3 products in the chart.
