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.
“PartnerStack - a full-lifecycle partner management platform that allows companies to build, track, and scale partner, affiliate, and reseller programs in one place.” Llama 4 Maverick · Referrals · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“For most mid-market B2B companies, PartnerStack offers the best balance of features, pricing, and B2B-specific functionality” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Affiliate · direct prompt · first choice
“Impact or PartnerStack – Both offer enterprise features, dedicated support, and handle complex commission structures” MiniMax M2.5 · Affiliate · scale prompt · first choice
“Choose a SaaS (Impact/PartnerStack) if you are a B2B company...It is generally cheaper and easier to set up than Impact.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Affiliate · comparative 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.
“sales and commissions are not being tracked correctly on PartnerStack, with tests showing it did not process a single commission” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Channel marketing · negative prompt · hard negative
“Avoid or be cautious with Impact and PartnerStack if your priority is to minimize commission-based costs on partner sales.” Perplexity Sonar · PRM · negative prompt · hard negative

“Avoid platforms that: 1. Charge percentage fees on your partner sales (Impact.com, PartnerStack)” Kimi K2 · PRM · negative prompt · hard 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 PartnerStack. 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 395 of the 419 answers that named PartnerStack and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page partnerstack.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 September 29, 2026.

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 PartnerStack'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 PartnerStack, 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 PartnerStack by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
- where PartnerStack 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 PartnerStack, 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.
