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.
“If you use Salesforce, test whether its assignment rules and automation cover your actual cases” GPT-6 Luna · Lead routing · scale prompt · first choice
“native workflows inside HubSpot or Salesforce are the right place to start since round robin and field-based logic are already built in” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Lead routing · comparative prompt · alternative
“The built-in starting point for assigning leads to users or queues... more intricate routing can require custom workflows or code.” GPT-6 Luna · Lead routing · comparative prompt · alternative
“Most modern CRMs (like HubSpot or Salesforce) have native assignment features that can handle basic routing needs” Mistral Small · Lead routing · negative 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.
“Your CRM’s native routing (like Salesforce Assignment Rules or HubSpot Workflows) distributes leads sequentially but lacks the intelligence required for a scale-up.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Lead routing · scale prompt · soft negative
“Limitation: Limited to simple property-based assignment; no availability checking; no deduplication before assignment” Kimi K2 · Lead routing · comparative prompt · soft negative
“Powerful but steep learning curve... is overkill/expensive for most mid-market unless you have dedicated admins.” Grok 4.20 · Lead routing · direct prompt · soft negative
“Salesforce - considered over-engineered for small businesses with simple needs.” Llama 4 Maverick · Lead routing · negative prompt · soft negative
