Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for SlickText 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 SlickText 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.

“I'd recommend starting with SlickText or Salesmsg due to their strong CRM integrations” MiniMax M2.5 · SMS & WhatsApp · direct prompt · first choice
“Salesmsg, SlickText, or Heymarket are highly recommended for mid-market businesses” Mistral Small · SMS & WhatsApp · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“SlickText combines list-growth tools, automation, and clean pricing where every feature ships on every plan starting at $29/month.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · SMS & WhatsApp · paraphrase prompt · alternative
“For Sales & Marketing Multi-Channel (Mid-Market): Look at SlickText, SimpleTexting, or EZ Texting.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · SMS & WhatsApp · scale 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.

“SMS Platforms to Avoid or Be Cautious About ### SlickText Issues reported by users: - Rising prices” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Mobile & push · negative prompt · hard negative
“if you need advanced automation or have a small budget, it's not ideal” DeepSeek V4 Flash · SMS & WhatsApp · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named SlickText. 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 88 of the 89 answers that named SlickText 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 slicktext.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. Read September 29, 2026.

Names read as SlickText

What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as SlickText; 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 SlickText'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 SlickText, 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 SlickText by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where SlickText 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 SlickText, 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 slicktext.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.
