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.
“Who to Avoid/Caution: Arcade, Guideflow (for technical deep-dives).” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Interactive demos · negative prompt · hard negative
“HTML capture is only available on Enterprise plans, so it may feel limited for complex product demos at the mid-market tier.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Interactive demos · direct prompt · soft negative
Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 143 of the 145 answers that named Arcade and are not a share of its labels.
527 of the 639 domain citations in answers naming Arcade came from somebody else's page.
Pages are listed as the models cited them.
Search figures are US estimates from DataForSEO, read October 5, 2026; AI search demand is its modeled, directional estimate, not a count of queries to any assistant. The answers are this edition's. Two measurements side by side: neither is read as the cause of the other.

Every page arcade.software 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.

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Arcade by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
