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.
“Start with ContractZen if you need a quick, full-featured SaaS under $10/user—it's the cheapest polished option for true CLM without compromises.” Grok 4.20 · CLM · budget prompt · first choice
“Cheapest Credible Option ... If budget is extremely tight and needs are basic: ContractZen” Kimi K2 · CLM · budget prompt · alternative
“ContractZen ~$9.50/user/mo ... are the cheapest credible published options in 2026” Muse Glimmer 30B · CLM · budget prompt · alternative
“Absolute Cheapest Option: ContractZen ... Trade-offs: Limited features” DeepSeek V4 Flash · CLM · budget 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 if you are small/solo: BoloSign or ContractZen (too simple).” GLM 4.7 FlashX · CLM · negative prompt · hard negative
“more repository than true CLM” Perplexity Sonar · CLM · negative prompt · soft negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are among a category's top eight. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.
What carried it into the answer
The sites and pages cited by the answers that named ContractZen. 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 13 of the 13 answers that named ContractZen and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page contra.agency 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. Read September 29, 2026.
