Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for ShareASale yet. The next is due October 1, 2026. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated ShareASale across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Twelve models, six prompts per category.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Stick to established aggregators like Impact, ShareASale, CJ Affiliate, and PartnerStack” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Affiliate · negative prompt · first choice
“Established networks like ShareASale, PartnerStack, Amazon Associates” Kimi K2 · Affiliate · negative prompt · first choice
“ShareASale (variety & reliability)” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Affiliate · comparative prompt · first choice
“An SMB Retailer on a Budget | Awin | Offers low setup fees, transparent pricing, and instant global publisher reach.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · 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.

“ShareASale has been folded into Awin's platform experience, so in practice many users now compare Awin plans/features rather than treating ShareASale as a separate standalone platform.” GPT-5.4 mini · Affiliate · comparative prompt · soft negative
“require setup fees (e.g., $500+) for companies hosting programs” Grok 4.1 Fast · Affiliate · budget prompt · soft negative

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, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 7 of the 62 answers that named ShareASale and are not a share of its labels.

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.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at shareasale.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
