Companies Using New Relic

I have spent more than ten years on web crawling and technographic data. This analysis covers the 226,775 domains where we detect New Relic in our August 2026 crawl, the 97,960 of them we could match to a company record, and the detection changes we have observed since March 2026.

1. What the number actually counts

New Relic is detected where its browser agent is present on a page. That is a real signal and it is not the same as a purchase. Sampling the long tail turns up individual realtor sites, small property managers and single location businesses that plainly do not buy an enterprise observability platform. The agent is on those pages because the person or agency that built the site put it there.

The corollary matters just as much for the other direction. A company running only server side agents leaves nothing for a crawler to see, so it will never show up here at all. 226,775 is a footprint measurement, not a customer count, and it understates and overstates in different places at once.

"The most useful thing we can tell you about a browser agent count is what it is not. It is not an account list. Once you accept that, the distribution becomes genuinely informative." - Mehmet Suleyman, CEO at TechnologyChecker.io

2. Growth trajectory, and why the chart starts in 2026

Our long run history starts with a single domain in January 2011 and climbs steadily to 142,952 active domains in March 2025. That is a decade and a half of consistent, unspectacular expansion, which is what a platform that embeds into engineering workflows looks like.

Our current crawl reads 174,143 in June 2026 and 226,775 in August 2026. Those earlier readings are deliberately not plotted beside these, and no growth rate should be computed between them. The set of domains we crawl turns over every month, with dead sites dropping out and newly discovered ones added, and our detection signals widen over time, so the roughly 1.22x step is coverage rather than adoption. The June to August movement inside the current crawl is coverage as well, since June was its first month.

Sales Signal: treat the trend line as directional and the level as a floor. If you are sizing a market, use the category total (2,572,673 active domains across 58 technologies) rather than any single month's absolute count.

3. Two populations, not one customer base

The size distribution is the clearest evidence for the split. 56.7% of the 91,248 domains with a resolvable company size employ 10 people or fewer, and another 24.6% employ 11 to 50. Only about 2.9% employ 1,001 or more.

At the other end sit organisations like Wells Fargo, Abbott, HCA Healthcare, AXA, Nokia, Medtronic, Salesforce, Adobe and Deutsche Bank. The age data shows the same double shape: 38.71% of matched companies were founded in the 2010s, the cloud native generation, while 8.92% predate 1960.

These two groups are not a funnel from one to the other. They are different phenomena that share a detection signal. Treating the small end as an enterprise pipeline is the most common mistake made with a number like this.

Sales Signal: two motions, and only one of them is worth outbound effort. The small end is self serve and mostly did not choose the tool. The enterprise end is identifiable, concentrated in healthcare, financial services and insurance, and reachable.

4. Industry mix, and why Real Estate leads

Real Estate is the top vertical at 9.64% (7,994 domains), ahead of Retail at 7.66% and Software Development at 3.99%. An enterprise APM product should not have Real Estate at the top of its industry table, so we looked at the cohort.

It is individual agent and property management sites, and their technology stacks are near identical: jQuery on 90%, Google Analytics on 83%, Google Tag Manager on 82.8%, Font Awesome on 55%, Bootstrap on 50%, OWL Carousel on 38.7%. That is one template build repeated thousands of times with the New Relic browser agent included in it. We could not attribute it to a specific site platform, and we are not going to name one on a guess, but the shape is unmistakable.

The practical consequence: rank the industry table, then discount the top of it. Software Development (3.99%), IT Services and IT Consulting (3.61%), Technology, Information and Internet (3.45%) and Financial Services (2.07%) are the rows that behave like buying decisions.

"When a defining vertical sits at the top of an industry table instead of the industry you would expect, that is almost never a market insight. It is one deployment decision copied across thousands of sites." - Mehmet Suleyman, CEO at TechnologyChecker.io

5. Geography

The United States accounts for 51,324 domains, more than seven times the United Kingdom at 7,106. Canada (3,912), India (3,153) and Australia (3,130) follow, then France (2,531) and Brazil (2,104). These counts come from the enriched subset, so the ranking is the reliable part and the magnitudes are not.

Sales Signal: outside North America the footprint thins fast. Anywhere below the top five is a market where a competitor can still take the default position.

6. Competitive position and observed migration

New Relic holds an 8.81% share and rank #2 of 58. Sentry is roughly eight times larger by detected domains (1,851,998), but it is an error SDK shipped inside frontend bundles rather than a full stack platform, so that ratio is not a competitive verdict. Datadog (148,622) is the meaningful comparison, and New Relic is about 1.5x ahead of it on domains detected.

Migration since March 2026 is less comfortable. New Relic is net negative against Sentry by 1,930 domains (3,420 out, 1,490 in), its largest corridor by a wide margin. Against everything else it is close to flat: Datadog net -163, Akamai mPulse net -60, Boomerang net -49, BugSnag net +108. Read the Sentry corridor with care, because a site adding Sentry for frontend errors while keeping New Relic for the backend can look the same in our data as a site leaving.

Sales Signal: the competitive pressure is coming from cheaper, narrower tools rather than from the other big platform. Consolidation arguments should be aimed at teams that have accumulated point solutions, not at Datadog accounts.

7. Technology ecosystem

Google Analytics co-occurs on 81.93% of New Relic domains and Cloudflare on 66.55%. Those are near universal and tell you little. The informative rows are WordPress at 13.59% and Magento at 7.75% against React at 6.81% and Vue.js at 8.11%.

More CMS and storefront than framework is the signature of marketing sites and shops, not of the application estates APM is sold to monitor. It is the long tail showing up again in a different table.

8. Review signals

G2 sentiment is consistent: user friendly interface (97 mentions) and real time monitoring (95 mentions) lead the positives, cost escalating with data volume (63 mentions) and setup complexity (50 mentions) lead the negatives.

Both criticisms are structural rather than fixable. A consumption model is what makes the free tier viable and the footprint this wide, and it is the same model that makes the invoice move with traffic.

9. Key takeaways

1. Position: #2 of 58 in APM and error tracking at 8.81% share, 226,775 domains, about 1.5x Datadog.

2. The count is presence: most of the footprint is small sites that did not choose the tool, and server side only deployments are invisible to us entirely.

3. Real Estate at the top of the industry table is a deployment pattern, not a market. Discount it before using the table.

4. Sentry is the one negative corridor, net -1,930 since March 2026, and part of that is coexistence rather than replacement.

5. The usage chart shows our current crawl only, three months on one basis. Our earlier readings are not plotted beside it and no rate should be computed between the two: coverage changed; adoption did not step 22%.

10. Sales applications

Targeting strategy: on TechnologyChecker.io, filter New Relic domains to companies of 201 employees or more before doing anything with the list. That removes the template built long tail and leaves roughly 7,500 domains that behave like buyers.

Competitive angle: the 3,420 domains that moved toward Sentry since March 2026 are the clearest signal of cost sensitivity on frontend telemetry. That is a consolidation conversation, in either direction depending on which side you sell.

Qualifying question: ask where the agent is deployed. Careers, help and investor portals dominate the enterprise detections we can see, which usually means one team bought it rather than the platform organisation.
