## What the models said for it

- "G2 is non-negotiable in 2026, with AI models citing G2 grids more than any other B2B review source" (Claude Haiku 4.5, Reviews)
- "the best choice is usually G2 if your priority is B2B buyer trust and review generation" (GPT-5.4 mini, Reviews)
- "Bombora layered with G2 Buyer Intent is the pragmatic starting point." (Claude Haiku 4.5, Intent data)
- "my default pick is G2's vendor platform" (GPT-6 Luna, Reviews)

## And against it

- "But check the actual package and price first: G2 says signal access depends on your plan, and its public pricing doesn't clearly show Buyer Intent as included in the low-cost Starter plan." (GPT-6 Luna, Intent data)
- "G2/TrustRadius/TechTarget-style intent can be useful, but it is often best for product-category research and may be less useful if you need broad, person-level buying intent" (GPT-5.4 mini, Intent data)
- "Each appears in comparison charts but shares recurring pain points—stale data, opaque predictive models, steep learning curves" (Qwen 3.7 Flash, Intent data)
- "G2 acquired the other three in early 2026, so don't count their rankings or reviews as four independent votes." (GPT-6 Luna, Market intelligence)
