Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Qualified yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated Qualified across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Fourteen 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.

“with Qualified as the default choice if your primary goal is *more meetings and sales-qualified conversations*” Perplexity Sonar · Conversational mktg · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“For mid-sized companies specifically, Drift or Qualified are typically the strongest choices” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Conversational mktg · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“if you need pipeline chat and visitor de-anonymization, a Drift/Qualified-type engine fits” Muse Glimmer 30B · Conversational mktg · comparative prompt · first choice
“Choose Drift (Salesloft/1Mind) or Qualified if you are a B2B enterprise company” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Conversational mktg · 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.

“Users find the learning curve steep due to non-intuitive reporting and dashboard features.” Mistral Small · Support chatbots · negative prompt · hard negative
“Qualified, another major B2B player, was acquired by Salesforce. Its conversational AI capabilities (formerly "Piper") are now integrated directly into Salesforce's Agentforce.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Conversational mktg · scale prompt · soft negative
“More expensive (quote-based, starting around $40K-68K/year)” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Conversational mktg · direct prompt · soft negative
“Reviews consistently highlight a steep learning curve.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Support chatbots · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Qualified. 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 114 of the 117 answers that named Qualified and are not a share of its labels.

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.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page qualified.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. Of its titles that name a category, most name AI SDR (24); 0 name its categories the models place it in. 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 Qualified'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 Qualified, 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 Qualified by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where Qualified 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 Qualified, 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.
The subscriber app

A verification link goes to your work email; an address at qualified.com is approved on the spot, any other is reviewed by hand. Your email is never published. Claiming gives no say over labels, shares, verdicts or which quotes appear.
