Named in one category 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 twelve 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 webinar and virtual event platforms page.
Across every category in the September 2026 Edition, Demio and Zoom Webinars were named in the same answer ninety-nine times, of the 118 answers naming Demio and the 179 naming Zoom Webinars. In those answers Zoom Webinars took the first choice eight times and Demio twenty-eight.
