Zero of fourteen models named Ubersuggest first on the direct prompt; zero named Frase. Ubersuggest was named by seven of the fourteen models and Frase by twelve and Ubersuggest carries 10 labels and Frase 32, so the shares are not directly comparable.
By Neil Patel. Named in four categories this edition.
Named in three categories this edition.
Share is the count of first choices across the direct, paraphrase, budget and scale prompts over all fourteen models, for a mid-market B2B company; rank is within the category; every quote names the model and the prompt it came from. Both figures come from the SEO and content optimization platforms page.
Across every category in the October 2026 Edition, Ubersuggest and Frase were named in the same answer twenty-two times, of the 54 answers naming Ubersuggest and the 96 naming Frase. In those answers Frase took the first choice four times and Ubersuggest five.
