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.

“For most mid-market B2B companies starting today, RollWorks or Terminus offer the best balance of capability, ease of use, and cost” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Paid ads · direct prompt · first choice
“e.g., demandbase, Terminus, 6sense, or Rollworks depending on whether you prefer paid social or display ads” Qwen 3.7 Flash · ABM · scale prompt · first choice
“Terminus is the strongest mid-market choice currently on the market.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · DMP · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Top safer bets overall: RollWorks, Terminus, or Mutiny” Grok 4.1 Fast · ABM · negative 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.

“Terminus was acquired by DemandScience in November 2024, so it's no longer a standalone option.” Kimi K2 · ABM · paraphrase prompt · hard negative
“merged into DemandScience in November 2024 and is no longer an independent product or brand” Kimi K2 · ABM · comparative prompt · hard negative
“Avoid: Enterprise platforms like Demandbase, 6sense, or Terminus.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · ABM · budget prompt · hard negative
“merged into DemandScience, so it no longer exists as an independent ABM solution” Mistral Small · ABM · negative prompt · hard negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Terminus. 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 135 of the 146 answers that named Terminus 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 demandscience.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.

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 Terminus'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 Terminus, 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 Terminus by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where Terminus 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 Terminus, 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.
