It would be intersting to compare the three free tools I know of:

* FreeIPDB <http://www.freeipdb.org/>
* RoboBijal <http://www.robobijal.org/>
* NorthStar <http://www.brownkid.net/NorthStar/>

For my limited experience, I can say that FreeIPDB is quite rough, absolutely not usable out-of-the-box. Only for people willing to participate in the development, I would say.

Robo-Bijal is specialized in RIPE allocation and has nice features for people dealing with RIPE (sending updates, for instance).
