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.

“ERPNext (The Open-Source Champion) * Best for: Companies with a limited budget but some technical/IT capabilities.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · ERP systems · budget prompt · first choice
“ERPNext (Fully Open-Source, Often Ranked #1 for Free ERPs)... Why best for tight budgets? Completely free to self-host” Grok 4.1 Fast · ERP systems · budget prompt · first choice
“if you genuinely need to spend zero on licensing, ERPNext is the most complete truly-free option available.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · ERP systems · budget prompt · first choice
“For the tightest budget with decent functionality, ERPNext or Odoo (open-source) are excellent choices” MiniMax M2.5 · ERP systems · 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.

“open-source (e.g., basic ERPNext modules), but they lack robust EPM features” Grok 4.1 Fast · Corporate performance ma · budget prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named ERPNext. 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 44 of the 45 answers that named ERPNext and are not a share of its labels.

Events in person

Last twelve months

As the event pages on erpnext.com state them, read October 5, 2026.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page erpnext.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 October 5, 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 ERPNext'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 ERPNext, 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 ERPNext by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where ERPNext 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 ERPNext, 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 erpnext.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.
