Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.

The floor is 11 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Offers a simpler pricing model than Datadog... strong, unified platform that is often much easier to budget for at a 500-person scale.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Infra monitoring · scale prompt · first choice
“New Relic is recommended for teams wanting all telemetry types on a single ingest meter with a genuinely useful free tier” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Observability · direct prompt · first choice
“New Relic (Often considered the most generous) ... It offers the highest data allowance among major enterprise vendors.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · APM · budget prompt · first choice
“New Relic (The Best SaaS Free-Tier Option) ... Its 100 GB/month free tier includes full-access AIOps and APM tools.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · AIOps · budget prompt · first choice

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“| New Relic/Datadog | SaaS | Limited free | High ($0.35/GB + users) | Avoid for tight budgets |” Grok 4.20 · Observability · budget prompt · hard negative
“Avoid SaaS like Datadog/New Relic (start at $15+/host/month, costs explode)” Grok 4.20 · Infra monitoring · budget prompt · hard negative
“New Relic if your team lacks a dedicated observability engineer.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · APM · negative prompt · hard negative
“New Relic Why be cautious: - Complex pricing model” Kimi K2 · Observability · negative prompt · hard negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named New Relic. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 629 of the 720 answers that named New Relic and are not a share of its labels.

Events in person

Last twelve months

As the event pages on newrelic.com state them, read September 28, 2026.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page newrelic.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read September 29, 2026.

Names read as New Relic

What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as New Relic; a claim can dispute any of them.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when New Relic's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as New Relic, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for New Relic by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where New Relic is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
  • the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
  • its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
  • who was chosen in the answers that did not name New Relic, and every reason the record gives;
  • a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
  • one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
The subscriber app

A verification link goes to your work email; an address at newrelic.com is approved on the spot, any other is reviewed by hand. Your email is never published. Claiming gives no say over labels, shares, verdicts or which quotes appear.
