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.
“Look instead for flat-rate, open-source, or self-hosted alternatives (like Matrix, Ethora, or Chat-SDK).” Gemini 3.5 Flash · In-app messaging · negative prompt · alternative
“Full self-hosted chat servers | Supports in-app via SDKs; unlimited users; host on cheap VPS (~$5/mo).” Grok 4.20 · In-app messaging · budget prompt · alternative
“Matrix/Element (federated, open standard)” Kimi K2 · In-app messaging · negative 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.
“self-hosting an open-source chat framework like Matrix or Rocket.Chat is the ultimate budget move” Gemini 3.5 Flash · In-app messaging · budget 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 9 of the 9 answers that named Matrix and are not a share of its labels.
Thirty-eight of the thirty-eight domain citations in answers naming Matrix came from somebody else's page.
Pages are listed as the models cited them.

Every page matrixflows.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. Read September 29, 2026.
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.

What Matrix's own pages state, read October 5, 2026: matrixflows.com, matrixflows.com/pricing, matrixflows.com/solutions/custom-apps, matrixflows.com/customers, matrixflows.com/integrations. A claimed page can correct any of them.
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 Matrix'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 Matrix, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.
A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Matrix by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
