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.

“The Winner: Hightouch ... Choose Hightouch if you already have a Snowflake or BigQuery instance and want a long-term, scalable, secure customer data platform.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · DMP · direct prompt · first choice
“Hightouch: Free tier for testing/small syncs (~10k rows/month)... No-code audience builder, 300+ destinations—marketer-friendly.” Grok 4.1 Fast · Warehouse & ETL · budget prompt · first choice
“Hightouch is the default recommendation for most marketing and growth teams with an existing Snowflake or BigQuery warehouse” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Warehouse & ETL · comparative prompt · first choice
“Hightouch is usually the safest default when the warehouse is the source of truth and marketing needs audience activation.” Muse Glimmer 30B · Warehouse & ETL · 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.

“Hightouch documents that operational data such as sync logs and row-level status may be stored; review the details against your own requirements” GPT-6 Luna · Warehouse & ETL · negative prompt · soft negative
“Hightouch if your warehouse data model is immature or your team lacks SQL resources, because setup can stall before activation work begins.” Perplexity Sonar · CDP · negative prompt · soft negative
“Pricing concerns: Users report it can be expensive, particularly for large contact volumes, with some sudden price changes” MiniMax M2.5 · Warehouse & ETL · negative prompt · soft negative
“user feedback flags cost and support issues: "The per-destination pricing model makes it hard to scale for smaller use cases"” Muse Glimmer 30B · Warehouse & ETL · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Hightouch. 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 363 of the 390 answers that named Hightouch and are not a share of its labels.

As the event pages on hightouch.com state them, read September 28, 2026.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page hightouch.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. 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.

Is this your product?

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 Hightouch'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 Hightouch, 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 Hightouch by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where Hightouch 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 Hightouch, 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.
The subscriber app

A verification link goes to your work email; an address at hightouch.com is approved on the spot, any other is reviewed by hand. Your email is never published. Claiming gives no say over labels, shares, verdicts or which quotes appear.
