Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for phpIPAM yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated phpIPAM across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Fourteen models, six prompts per category.

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“the best fit is often an open-source tool such as phpIPAM or Gesti\u00f3IP for solo users and small teams” Perplexity Sonar · DDI and IPAM · budget prompt · first choice
“Very Tight Budget / Tech-Savvy | Open Source (phpIPAM) + Cloud DNS | Free / Low” Qwen 3.7 Flash · DDI and IPAM · budget prompt · first choice
“If you can self-host, phpIPAM is the most popular and capable free option.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · DDI and IPAM · budget prompt · first choice
“most budget-constrained teams start with phpIPAM or GestiÓIP for IPAM” Muse Glimmer 30B · DDI and IPAM · 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.

“If you're a small team with no dedicated network engineers, these can become a liability.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · DDI and IPAM · negative prompt · soft negative
“using them as your core DDI platform carries operational risk” Gemini 3.5 Flash · DDI and IPAM · negative prompt · soft negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are among a category's top eight. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named phpIPAM. 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 60 of the 64 answers that named phpIPAM and are not a share of its labels.

Search figures are US estimates from DataForSEO, read October 5, 2026; AI search demand is its modeled, directional estimate, not a count of queries to any assistant. The answers are this edition's. Two measurements side by side: neither is read as the cause of the other.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page phpipam.net 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. Read October 5, 2026.

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 phpIPAM'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 phpIPAM, 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 phpIPAM by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where phpIPAM 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 phpIPAM, 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 phpipam.net 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.
