What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“1. BoardEffect (now part of the Passageways family alongside OnBoard) - targets nonprofits and mid-sized organizations.” Llama 4 Maverick · Board portals · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“BoardEffect is ideal for nonprofits and mid-sized organizations, offering a balance of features and ease of use.” Mistral Small · Board portals · comparative prompt · alternative
“BoardEffect | Mission-driven or structured boards | AI agendas, secure workspaces, committee tools” Grok 4.1 Fast · Board · direct prompt · alternative
“Want nonprofit / mission-driven board portal with strong governance: BoardEffect” Muse Glimmer 30B · Board · direct prompt · alternative

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.

“User reviews indicate serious deterioration post-acquisition: Support has become "extremely difficult"” Kimi K2 · Board · negative prompt · hard negative
“a credible mid-market option, especially for mission-driven organizations, though the provided results are less specific for B2B commercial use” Perplexity Sonar · Board · direct prompt · soft negative
“Bugs, unintuitive navigation/document upload... Weak support (slow, non-local, unresponsive post-Diligent acquisition)” Grok 4.1 Fast · Board · negative prompt · soft negative
“Only consider BoardEffect if your use case is more nonprofit-style or you want something simpler.” GPT-5.4 mini · Board portals · paraphrase prompt · soft negative

Search figures are US estimates from DataForSEO, read September 28, 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 boardeffect.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.

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

  • where BoardEffect 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 BoardEffect, 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 boardeffect.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.
