What it is
Tidal LightMesh is IP address management software for discovering, planning, and governing address information across cloud environments, DHCP, and imports. Its read-only Windows Discovery Agent collects Microsoft DHCP scopes, leases, hostnames, and history into a searchable view. Agentless integrations find AWS VPCs and Azure VNets, subnets, and assignments; inventory sync is on demand for Free, hourly for Pro and Team, and every five minutes for Enterprise. TreeView and Network Containers display planned and live networks together, group address space, and help identify overlaps. 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 available with Enterprise. LightMesh also lists DNS and DHCP management, IPv6, and API access. The Free plan allows one user and fewer than 1,000 IPs. Pro starts at $35 a month, and a 14-day trial is listed. Google Cloud support is not currently available.
