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.

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“Best overall for small businesses, offering ease of use, strong customer support” Mistral Small · Email marketing · comparative prompt · first choice

“Need event registration + emails? Constant Contact excels here.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Email marketing · comparative prompt · alternative
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.
“Mentioned as a platform to avoid if you have a high list churn rate, as costs can escalate quickly.” Mistral Small · Email marketing · negative prompt · hard negative
“Why to avoid: These are technically Email Service Providers (ESPs), not automation platforms.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Marketing automation · negative prompt · hard negative
“widely regarded as having a very poor cost-to-value ratio” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Email marketing · negative prompt · hard negative
“leave the budget bracket quickly as subscriber counts rise, including Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, and Constant Contact in one comparison” Perplexity Sonar · Email marketing · negative 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 75 of the 84 answers that named Constant Contact and are not a share of its labels.
215 of the 215 domain citations in answers naming Constant Contact came from somebody else's page.
Pages are listed as the models cited them.
Search figures are US estimates from DataForSEO, read September 28, 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 constantcontact.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. Of its titles that name a category, most name SEO (13); 5 name its categories the models place it in. 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.
