Because survey takers were permitted to select more than one answer, the percentages shown in the graph, which are out of the number survey of participants, add up to greater than 100%.

Another attempt to profile worldwide BSD usage is the *BSDstats Project, whose primary goal is to demonstrate to hardware vendors the penetration of BSD and viability of hardware drivers for the operating system. The project collects data monthly from any BSD system administrators willing to participate, and currently records the BSD market share of participating FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonflyBSD, Debian GNU/kFreeBSD, TrueOS, and MirBSD systems.<ref name="bsdstats">{{cite web | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20221202235850/https://bsdstats.org/ | archive-date=2 December 2022| url = http://www.bsdstats.org | title = *BSD Usage Statistics | access-date = 2006-09-30 | publisher = The *BSD Stats Project}}</ref>
In 2020, a new independent project was introduced to collect statistics with the goal of significantly increasing the number of observed parameters.<ref name="bsdhw">{{cite web | url = https://github.com/bsdhw/Trends | title = BSD Hardware Trends | access-date = 2020-06-03 | publisher = BSD Hardware Project}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://bsd-hardware.info/|title=Hardware for BSD| access-date=12 December 2024|publisher = BSD Hardware Project}}</ref>
[[DistroWatch]], well known in the Linux community and often used as a rough guide to free operating system popularity, publishes page hits for each of the Linux distributions and other operating systems it covers. As of 27 March 2020, using a data span of the last six months it placed FreeBSD in 21st place with 452 hits per day, GhostBSD in 51st place with 243 hits, TrueOS in 54th place with 182 hits per day, DragonflyBSD in 75th place with 180 hits, OpenBSD in 80th place with 169 hits per day and NetBSD in 109th place with 105 hits per day.<ref name="Distrowatch Rankings">{{cite web | year = 2001–2011 | url = http://distrowatch.com/ | title = DistroWatch.com: Put the fun back into computing. | publisher = DistroWatch.com | access-date = 2016-09-04}}</ref> The BSD
