Tidal LightMesh
Tidal LightMesh is cloud-first IP address management software for discovering, planning, and governing address data across cloud environments, DHCP, and imports. Its read-only Windows Discovery Agent brings Microsoft DHCP scopes, leases, hostnames, and history into a searchable view. Agentless integrations discover AWS VPCs and Azure VNets, subnets, and assignments. Cloud inventory sync is on demand for Free, hourly for Pro and Team, and every five minutes for Enterprise. TreeView and Network Containers show planned and live networks together, help flag overlapping ranges, and group address space. Subnet Builder visually divides a parent subnet into address sizes for cloud and data center plans. SaaS is available on every plan; Docker self-hosting on Ubuntu LTS, AWS, or Azure is limited to Enterprise. LightMesh supports API access, subnet planning, DNS and DHCP management, and IPv6. Free allows one user and fewer than 1,000 IPs. Pro costs $35 a month, and a 14-day trial is listed. Google Cloud support is on the future roadmap and is not currently available.
