ActiveCampaign

Contested

67% of first choices and every model's direct pick, at a 23% negative rate, just under the criticized line. Mailchimp is the most warned-against product here: half of its labels are negative.

02What they warned about

Five of twelve models held their first choice under the paraphrase. Claude Haiku 4.5, GPT-5.4 mini, Gemini 3.5 Flash, Grok 4.1 Fast, DeepSeek V4 Flash, Llama 4 Maverick and MiniMax M2.5 changed. A high negative share on a product with few labels is a warning. A low share on a product with many labels is salience, not sentiment.

Mailchimp

56%

27 of 48 labels negative · 11 of 12 models · 12 hard negative

“The Mailchimp / ActiveCampaign Trap:** Mailchimp and ActiveCampaign are highly recognizable, but they are incredibly expensive for growing businesses.” Gemini 3.5 Flash, budget prompt

“Charges for unsubscribes/inactives (unfair billing flagged in analyses), lower deliverability... dated interface” Grok 4.1 Fast, negative prompt

03What they cite

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list: four of the twelve in this edition, and all six flagship models on the expanded tier.

Sites the answers cite

17 of 72 answers in this category came back with a source list, from 4 of 12 models: citations where the model returns them, or the search results it consulted. 4 of those lists are Google grounding redirects that name no site and are left out of the counts. 175 links across 76 sites, every framing counted. Ranked by the number of answers carrying the site or page. The other 8 models searched through a gateway that returned no source list on this edition.

04How they answered

Six framings of the same buying question, each sent to every model in a fresh session with search on. One row per model, so a row shows whether it held its answer under rewording, what it named when cost was the constraint, and what it argued against. Computed from the raw judge labels.

ModelDirect“What is the best email marketing platform for a mid-market B2B company?”Paraphrase“Which email marketing tool would you recommend to a mid-sized B2B company?”Comparative“What are the top email marketing platforms and how do they differ?”Budget-constrained“What is the best email marketing platform for a company with a limited budget?”Scale-constrained“We are a 500 person company evaluating an email marketing platform.
