Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.

The floor is 10 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“ContractZen if you need a broader entity management focus with board, contract, and document workflow in one platform” Perplexity Sonar · Entity management · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Best All-In-One Budget Option ... ContractZen is one of the most cost-effective governance systems on the market” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Entity management · budget prompt · first choice
“such as Commenda or ContractZen. These software solutions are designed for mid-market organizations and SMBs” Llama 4 Maverick · Entity management · direct prompt · first choice
“ContractZen Advanced is the most commonly referenced affordable all-in-one with a free trial” Muse Glimmer 30B · Entity management · 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.

“has a 30-day free trial, but the result frames it more around built-in meeting management than low-cost entity management specifically” Perplexity Sonar · Entity management · budget prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named ContractZen. 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 23 of the 23 answers that named ContractZen and are not a share of its labels.

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.

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

  • where ContractZen 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 ContractZen, 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 the vendor's own domain 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.
