Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Litmus yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

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

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Rendering previews across 100+ email clients, automated QA checklist, with a deliverability upgrade.” Muse Glimmer 30B · Email deliverability · comparative prompt · alternative
“consider Litmus instead: it combines previews across 100+ clients with spam testing” GPT-6 Luna · Email deliverability · paraphrase prompt · alternative
“If your team prioritizes rendering over placement, consider Litmus as a close second.” Grok 4.1 Fast · Email deliverability · paraphrase prompt · alternative
“Litmus is the premium industry heavyweight... However, it comes with a high price tag” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Email deliverability · 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.

“Litmus, for example, positions spam testing as part of QA and blocklist/authentication checks, not a guarantee.” GPT-5.4 mini · Email deliverability · negative prompt · soft negative
“Litmus is the giant in this space, but its pricing scales aggressively for collaborative marketing teams” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Email deliverability · paraphrase prompt · soft negative
“Litmus, for example, describes collection, storage, and sharing of information in its privacy policy.” GPT-6 Luna · Email deliverability · negative prompt · soft negative
“Litmus covers these lightly but isn't purpose-built for them.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Email deliverability · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Litmus. 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 73 of the 77 answers that named Litmus and are not a share of its labels.

Search figures are US estimates from DataForSEO, read October 5, 2026; AI search demand is its modeled, directional estimate, not a count of queries to any assistant. The answers are this edition's. Two measurements side by side: neither is read as the cause of the other.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page litmus.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 October 5, 2026.

Names read as Litmus

What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as Litmus; a claim can dispute any of them.

Follow Litmus

An email the morning each edition publishes: where this product moved, where it held, and by how much against the noise floor. One address, confirmed by a click; a stop link in every email.

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

  • where Litmus 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 Litmus, 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 litmus.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.
