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.

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
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
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.
No domain is on file for ContractZen, so its own site is not marked.
Pages are listed as the models cited them.
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.
An email the morning each edition publishes: where this product moved, where it held, and by how much against the noise floor. One address, confirmed by a click; a stop link in every email.

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.
A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for ContractZen by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
ContractZen is among the products AI models recommend first in Entity management this edition. Each badge says so in the buyer's words, names the edition, and links to the standing. The next edition issues a new badge; this one stays true as a record of October 2026.
Badges read on light and dark pages. Alt text carries the claim, the category, the edition and the index, so it stays a citation where the image does not load.
