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.

“the best choice is usually Xero or Quicken Business & Personal” Perplexity Sonar · Cash flow forecasting · budget prompt · first choice
“their native cash flow reports or apps like Float's basic integration can suffice short-term” Grok 4.1 Fast · Cash flow forecasting · budget prompt · alternative
“Xero's standard plan starts around $13–$45/month and includes basic forecasting dashboards.” 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.

“basic Xero forecasting modules... they are notoriously limited for forward-looking operational decisions” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Cash flow forecasting · negative prompt · soft negative
“Offers a native "Forecast Cash Flow" report, though it is more basic than third-party tools like Float.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Cash flow forecasting · budget 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
“However, this is primarily an accounting platform with basic cash flow features.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Cash flow forecasting · budget prompt · soft negative

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page xero.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 September 29, 2026.
