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.

“Best value: use the cash-flow forecasting already included with QuickBooks Online—if your company already subscribes to it.” GPT-6 Luna · Cash flow forecasting · budget prompt · first choice
“If you already use QuickBooks or Xero, start with their built-in cash flow planners.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Cash flow forecasting · budget prompt · first choice
“If you use QuickBooks or Xero (starting ~$15-30/month), their native cash flow reports ... can suffice short-term.” Grok 4.1 Fast · Cash flow forecasting · budget prompt · alternative
“The cheapest option if you already use QuickBooks.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Cash flow forecasting · budget 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.

“QBO’s cash planner has been criticized for deducting expenses the moment they occur... Avoid if: You have lumpy payment cycles” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Cash flow forecasting · negative prompt · hard negative
“QuickBooks says its Cash Flow Planner uses connected bank-account history to forecast recurring income and expenses; that may not suit a project-based or rapidly changing business on its own.” GPT-6 Luna · Cash flow forecasting · negative prompt · soft negative
“Mid-market companies typically outgrow basic accounting tools (like QuickBooks or Xero)” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Cash flow forecasting · direct prompt · soft negative
