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.
“Legitimate programs like Amazon Associates, ShareASale, CJ Affiliate, and Impact are free to join” MiniMax M2.5 · Affiliate · negative prompt · first choice
“If you are an Affiliate: Start with ShareASale for ease of use” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Affiliate · comparative prompt · first choice
“If your budget is extremely tight: - ShareASale or CJ Affiliate: These are networks where you can list your program” Kimi K2 · Affiliate · budget prompt · alternative
“Best for: SMBs, programs just launching... Less sophisticated than CJ or Impact, but more accessible for smaller brands.” Mistral Small · Affiliate · 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.
“you should avoid traditional "Affiliate Networks" (like Awin/ShareASale, CJ Affiliate, or Impact.com)” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Affiliate · budget prompt · hard negative
“ShareASale is no longer a separate option: Awin closed that platform on October 6, 2025” GPT-6 Luna · Affiliate · comparative prompt · hard negative
“What to Avoid on a Limited Budget | ShareASale/Awin | ~$625–$750 one-time setup fee” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Affiliate · budget prompt · hard negative
“the ShareASale platform officially shut down in October 2025” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Affiliate · comparative 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 ShareASale. 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 69 of the 75 answers that named ShareASale and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page awin.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 ShareASale'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 ShareASale, 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 ShareASale by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
- where ShareASale 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 ShareASale, 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.
