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.
“my default recommendation would be Vendorful if your main need is a focused e-sourcing/RFP workflow” Perplexity Sonar · Strategic sourcing · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“best for mid-sized businesses looking for quick-to-deploy e-sourcing without unnecessary complexity” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Strategic sourcing · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Vendorful or Precoro are the mid-market-aligned options currently highlighted” Muse Glimmer 30B · Strategic sourcing · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Alternatives like Vendorful (great for mid-size RFQ/RFP events, 4.8-5.0 ratings but fewer reviews and pricing on request)” Grok 4.1 Fast · Strategic sourcing · paraphrase 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.
No model argued against it.

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 Vendorful. 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 13 of the 13 answers that named Vendorful and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page vendorful.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.

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 Vendorful'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 Vendorful, 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

- its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
- who was chosen in the answers that did not name Vendorful, 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.
