Movement

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

“ThoughtSpot - Best for AI-powered business intelligence with GenAI-powered self-serve experience.” Llama 4 Maverick · BI & dashboards · direct prompt · first choice
“Choose ThoughtSpot if your goal is to empower *everyone* to self-serve without teaching them to code.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · BI & dashboards · comparative prompt · alternative
“Select ThoughtSpot if: Your leadership team is frustrated because they wait days/weeks for reports” Qwen 3.7 Flash · BI & dashboards · direct prompt · alternative
“If you want AI-powered self-service: ThoughtSpot (natural language query, automated insights)” Mistral Small · BI & dashboards · 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.

“ThoughtSpot — Starts at $25/user but balloons quickly” DeepSeek V4 Flash · BI & dashboards · budget prompt · hard negative
“Pricing opacity; consumption model can escalate significantly” Kimi K2 · BI & dashboards · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named ThoughtSpot. 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 8 of the 69 answers that named ThoughtSpot 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 ThoughtSpot'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 ThoughtSpot, 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 thoughtspot.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.
