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.
“separate your invoicing front-end from your payment processor (e.g., using Stripe, which generally handles merchant risk with more nuance)” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Invoicing software · negative prompt · alternative
“Highlighted as best for international sales and tightly tied to payments.” Perplexity Sonar · Global e-invoicing compl · comparative prompt · alternative
“Stripe Invoicing is best for developers and usage-based billing” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Invoicing software · comparative prompt · alternative
“Online payments, integrations, or custom workflows: Stripe.” GPT-6 Luna · Invoicing software · comparative 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.
“while it is a popular choice, it may not be suitable for all businesses, especially those with complex invoicing needs” Llama 4 Maverick · Invoicing software · negative prompt · soft negative
“Some users have reported challenges such as unhelpful support, account issues and unexpected fund holds” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Invoicing software · negative prompt · soft negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are among a category's top eight. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.
What carried it into the answer
The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Stripe Invoicing. 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 40 of the 44 answers that named Stripe Invoicing and are not a share of its labels.
