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.

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“I'd recommend Lotame Spherical Platform or Oracle BlueKai as strong DMP options, with Lotame edging out for better mid-market fit.” Grok 4.20 · DMP · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Choose Lotame Spherical or Adobe Audience Manager if your priority is audience building for programmatic / ad-tech activation” Muse Glimmer 30B · DMP · direct prompt · alternative
“audience data + identity + activation, good for media/advertising-heavy use cases” DeepSeek V4 Flash · DMP · scale prompt · alternative
“Strong data onboarding capabilities; competitive pricing; good customer support” MiniMax M2.5 · DMP · comparative prompt · alternative
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.
“you should avoid traditional, enterprise-grade Data Management Platforms (DMPs) like Adobe Audience Manager, Lotame, or Oracle CDK” Qwen 3.7 Flash · DMP · budget prompt · hard negative
“What to Avoid ... likely overkill and over-budget for smaller companies” Kimi K2 · DMP · budget prompt · hard negative
“Traditional DMPs (e.g., Lotame, Adobe Audience Manager, OnAudience)... often start pricey and are overkill/less compliant post-cookies for small ops” Grok 4.20 · DMP · budget prompt · soft negative
“Traditional DMPs (like Lotame, Adobe Audience Manager) ... increasingly limited in B2B contexts” Kimi K2 · DMP · paraphrase prompt · soft negative
Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 28 of the 29 answers that named Lotame Spherical and are not a share of its labels.
119 of the 119 domain citations in answers naming Lotame Spherical came from somebody else's page.
Pages are listed as the models cited them.
Search figures are US estimates from DataForSEO, read September 28, 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.

Every page lotame.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.
