Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.
The floor is 11 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“CaptivateIQ - A sales performance management platform that covers incentive compensation and sales planning in one system, suitable for mid-market and enterprise revenue teams.” Llama 4 Maverick · Territory planning · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“CaptivateIQ is best for mid-market and enterprise teams running commissions, territories, quotas, and headcount planning together.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Territory planning · direct prompt · first choice
“CaptivateIQ: Best for mid-market teams connecting territory carving to quotas and incentive compensation in one system.” Llama 4 Maverick · Territory planning · scale prompt · first choice
“Top Pick: CaptivateIQ Planning ... Start with CaptivateIQ for most mid-market B2B needs” Grok 4.20 · Territory planning · direct prompt · first choice
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.
“is the best functional fit, but it is quote-based/custom pricing, so it is less budget-friendly” Perplexity Sonar · Territory planning · budget prompt · soft negative
“not very user-friendly or low code, and it is also very limited software compared to competitors” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Territory planning · negative prompt · soft negative
“Cons: May be pricier for very small companies” MiniMax M2.5 · Territory planning · budget prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer
The sites and pages cited by the answers that named CaptivateIQ Planning. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.
Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 114 of the 114 answers that named CaptivateIQ Planning and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page captivateiq.com 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. Read September 29, 2026.
