Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Amazon DSP yet. The next is due October 1, 2026. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Amazon DSP (commerce data)” Kimi K2 · Programmatic · comparative prompt · first choice
“Stick with established, reputable DSPs like The Trade Desk, Google DV360, Amazon DSP, or StackAdapt” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Programmatic · negative prompt · alternative
“Best for: E-commerce/retail advertisers who want Amazon's first-party shopper intelligence” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Programmatic · comparative prompt · alternative
“Amazon DSP is strongest when purchase intent and retail data matter most.” Perplexity Sonar · Programmatic · comparative 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.

“Amazon DSP: High CPMs, limited B2B advantage outside retail” Mistral Small · Programmatic · direct prompt · hard negative
“needs $5,000-$10,000/month for effective performance” Kimi K2 · Programmatic · budget prompt · hard negative
“Avoid DV360/Trade Desk/Amazon DSP: High mins” Grok 4.1 Fast · Programmatic · budget prompt · hard negative
“Walled garden platforms like DV360 and Amazon DSP ... limit visibility into supply chain economics and restrict data portability.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Programmatic · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Amazon DSP. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 18 of the 130 answers that named Amazon DSP and are not a share of its labels.

Claim this page

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 Amazon DSP'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 Amazon DSP, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at amazon.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
