By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“If you want to stop managing 4 different vendors: Choose Clerk.io or Nosto.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Ecommerce search · comparative prompt · first choice

“Clerk.io (Top Pick for Mid-Market)” MiniMax M2.5 · Ecommerce search · direct prompt · first choice

“Clerk.io is also worth considering if you want a unified platform that includes email and audience automation.” Mistral Small · Ecommerce search · direct prompt · alternative

“Clerk.io is the best choice for budget-aware commerce teams that need rule-based merchandising control” Muse Glimmer 30B · Ecommerce search · 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.

“avoid highly customizable API-first tools like Algolia or Clerk.io unless they have pre-built themes” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Ecommerce search · budget prompt · soft negative

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page clerk.io 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.

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

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

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

where Clerk.io is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
who was chosen in the answers that did not name Clerk.io, and every reason the record gives;
a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
