In their own words
Obelinf
Obelinf combines IP address management, device inventory, data center infrastructure management, network topology, rack management, cable tracking, VLAN/VRF management and infrastructure audit history. Its IPAM tools cover hierarchical subnets, VRF models, VLAN mapping, address status, reservations and live utilization. Interactive diagrams provide site-aware topology views and cable-path tracing; rack tools show elevations, U-position tracking, reservations and utilization across a fleet. A REST API and scoped, revocable keys support automation, while an MCP endpoint lets compatible assistants query and update records. The maker says create, update and delete actions are logged with user, timestamp, context and field-level changes. The free Personal plan allows up to 30 devices, four racks, five subnets, 100 IP addresses, 25 cables and 10 VLANs; VMs and clusters require a paid plan. Personal is free, Teams is $99 a month, and Scale is $299 a month. Paid plans have a 14-day trial that requires a credit card.
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.
