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.
“PFL is often the better fit if your main need is true direct-mail orchestration inside CRM/marketing automation journeys” GPT-5.4 mini · Direct mail · direct prompt · alternative
“PFL remains the safe enterprise choice if you need maximum integration depth and can handle quote-based pricing.” Kimi K2 · Direct mail · direct prompt · alternative
“Best for: End-to-end solution with strategy, software, print, and fulfillment” Kimi K2 · Direct mail · comparative prompt · alternative
“Choose PFL if you want enterprise-grade, high-touch physical experiences.” GPT-5.4 mini · Direct mail & gifting · 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.
“PFL | Custom/Enterprise | Print + digital but enterprise-tier” Kimi K2 · Direct mail & gifting · budget prompt · hard negative
“Lower G2 rating (4.2/5) compared to competitors ... More traditional print-focused, less modern automation/integration” Kimi K2 · Direct mail & gifting · negative prompt · soft negative
“some flag higher costs for additional services. Confirm which services are included in the quote.” GPT-6 Luna · Direct mail · negative prompt · soft negative
“quote-based pricing often exceeding $15,000/year—making them unsuitable for limited budgets” MiniMax M2.5 · Direct mail & gifting · budget prompt · soft 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 PFL. 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 83 of the 83 answers that named PFL and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page pfl.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.
Names read as PFL
What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as PFL; a claim can dispute any of them.

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