Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Nooks yet. The next is due October 1, 2026. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

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

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Funded, high-volume SDR org → Orum (volume) or Nooks (coaching + virtual salesfloor).” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Dialers · direct prompt · first choice
“Nooks is Orum's primary rival... Best For: Fast-growing mid-market companies” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Dialers · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Nooks (G2: 4.8/5, leader in auto-dialer) – Best for 10+ rep SDR teams” Grok 4.1 Fast · Dialers · comparative prompt · first choice
“Best for High-Volume, Outbound SDR Teams: Orum or Nooks” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Dialers · direct 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.

“Nooks & Orum (Parallel Dialers) Biggest concerns: The structural "dead air" problem, spam flagging, and rapidly declining connect rates.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Dialers · negative prompt · hard negative
“Orum / Nooks (When used on unverified lists)... you must be cautious about their *pricing structure* and *data usage*.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Dialers · negative prompt · soft negative
“criticized for high abandoned call rates (>3% FTC limit), risking TCPA fines” Grok 4.1 Fast · Dialers · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Nooks. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 10 of the 82 answers that named Nooks and are not a share of its labels.

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 Nooks'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 Nooks, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at nooks.ai is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
