Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for CoSchedule yet. The next is due October 1, 2026. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated CoSchedule across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Twelve models, six prompts per category.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“the most common winning plays are HubSpot Content Hub or CoSchedule if you want speed-to-value and reasonable TCO” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Content marketing · scale prompt · first choice
“I'd recommend CoSchedule as the top content planning and production tool.” Grok 4.1 Fast · Content marketing · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“I'd suggest CoSchedule as your primary planning/production hub” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Content marketing · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Start with CoSchedule for content planning and workflow management” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Content marketing · paraphrase 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.

“1 warning, pricing restructure complaints” Mistral Small · Social media · negative prompt · hard negative
“their pricing structures are designed to scale aggressively as your team or channel list grows” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Content marketing · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named CoSchedule. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 8 of the 76 answers that named CoSchedule and are not a share of its labels.

Names read as CoSchedule

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

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at coschedule.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
