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.
“Consider LinkedIn Sales Navigator as a complement... I wouldn't treat it as a like-for-like replacement for a contact database.” GPT-6 Luna · Sales intel · paraphrase prompt · alternative
“Best for relationship‑driven selling; no direct contact data but unmatched access to LinkedIn's professional network.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Sales intel · comparative prompt · alternative
“Best for Relationship-Driven Selling ... Limitations: No verified business emails or phone numbers at any tier” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Market intelligence · paraphrase prompt · alternative
“LinkedIn Sales Navigator or 6sense/Demandbase when relationship mapping or predictive intent is the priority” Muse Glimmer 30B · Enrichment · comparative 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.
“Best as a complement, not a standalone ... Lacks verified phone numbers and comprehensive contact data on its own” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Sales intel · direct prompt · soft negative
“relying *solely* on LinkedIn data without a secondary verification tool (like NeverBounce) is a major risk” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Enrichment · negative prompt · soft negative
“good for relationship mapping, but weaker on direct contact data” Mistral Small · Sales intel · scale 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 LinkedIn Sales Navigator. 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 102 of the 116 answers that named LinkedIn Sales Navigator and are not a share of its labels.
